Medicom can suck my

[Derekd3408]

Balls. Internet went out last night and I just spent the better part of this morning on the phone with them trying to resolve the issue with no success. The earliest they can get a technician out is Friday the 29th. Perfect timing to be stuck at home and have YouTube TV. Might be time to hire more technicians if the soonest you can get someone out is 8 days in a world where everything is ran off the internet.

Ts and Ps to my sanity.

Use your phone and mirror on the tv.

I just told them that if their technician wasn’t here today the modem and receiver would be on my front steps. Someone was at my house that afternoon.

Another fun fact, we have unlimited data but are past the allowed GBs before it's slowed down. So the picture is awful and cuts out frequently.

No internet
Slow data on phone

3 strikes you're out. Time to drink.

 

[QChawks]

people still have Mediacom?

Can you just up your data plan for a month?

 

[TJ8869]

Can you just up your data plan for a month?

I’m gonna have to ask you to stop providing logical solutions here. This thread is for bitching only.

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Can you just up your data plan for a month?

Yeah, call your phone provider about upgrading.

 

[Derekd3408]

Can you just up your data plan for a month?

I was told a while ago that I have the best data plan available and that once we hit 25gb used the data slows. I use a lot if data and it's not ideal. I'll call back and see, but I pay 305 a month for 2 phones and an IPad.

 

[the Donny Difference]

people still have Mediacom?

This is the correct answer.

 

[Derekd3408]

Not for long.

I just told them that if their technician wasn’t here today the modem and receiver would be on my front steps. Someone was at my house that afternoon.

Tried that. Told then to cancel my plan if they can't get someone out and he didn't flinch, was even transferred to a "manager". I'm guessing living in a town of 1000 in the middle of nowhere doesn't help.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Maybe it's a sign? Head to the bar.

 

[CJ Beat Hard]

That’s a lot of porn to use 25gb in 21 days. I’m proud of you

So our town offers internet and can get it installed Monday. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I get double what the $150 plan offers through mediacom for $79.

Time to start guessing passwords for networks available in your area, OP.

Gross

So basically I either stick with mediacom and their shitty service or switch to the local internet and get good service while getting bent over on price. That's a tough one.

Are those your only 2 options?

 

[Derekd3408]

Are those your only 2 options?

Pretty much. I've called quite a few places and talked to some other people in town. Unfortunately options are limited in a small rural town.

Had Mediacom when I lived in Cedar Rapids and they absolutely suck. Unfortunately there were no competitors with fiber yet in the neighborhood so I was stuck with those bums. One of the worst companies I’ve ever dealt with.

 

[themelrosemauler]

Get starlink

 

[bdg8]

That’s a lot of porn to use 25gb in 21 days. I’m proud of you

But 21 days at 45 seconds daily is like 16 minutes. So that can’t be cause

 

[Derekd3408]

I appreciate the extra 15 seconds.

 

[Derekd3408]

Get starlink

I considered this, but I only know one person that has had it and they sent it back. That was a year or so ago so maybe it's gotten better.

Are you sure the service is good with the other local Internet provider?

 

[coasterhawk75]

I dumped Mediacom as soon as Metronet Fiber finished the install this summer in my neighborhood in IC. Got a slightly better deal with them for 500mb service over ImOn. Haven't had a single outage and the speed is rock solid.

 

[Colonoscopy]

Use a mobile hotspot. Or add one -- usually ca be done as an option online -- temporarily if you don't have one.

a lot of our neighbors have Metronet and say the same thing

we have a different local fiber service only because it was before they put in Metronet and it’s about 25% cheaper

 

[Derekd3408]

My parents and sister have it and don't have issues. I also just found out it's a cooperative so you get a dividend check every year, so that will cut the cost down as well. I am making the switch Monday.

See ya later mediacom, ya fuxking idiots. I called them one last time and said I was making a switch to my local provider and I'll have the hardware on my doorstep for them if they couldn't get to me by tomorrow at the latest. They said peace out.
