Full story with bitching here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30039152-Answers-Wanted-in-S-IL-Sales-Rep-Misrepresentation The above link is to an active Mediacom Forum which is monitored by the Mediacom Social Media Team. I have found in the past that these Reps are much more higher in rank...

Same old Mediacom BS. Some things never change. On 4-28 the Local Sales Rep visited me at my house. I signed the Mediacom Service Order, the prices without Surcharge and taxes were in the order. Also NO commitment was checked. The Sales Rep told me he would call me on the phone the next day with...

I am in Cobden. Right now I have 100mbps Internet for $60 a month. I did have 50mbps for $55 a month but a couple of months ago they offered me 100mbps for only $5 more a month. No Contract. The new bundle I agreed to last night gives me 50mbps with all the Tivo stuff I mentioned in my first...

I have watched this discussion with interest. I have had Mediacom Internet only service for 3+ years. It has been reliable and is fasssst.The price has been reasonable and I have gotten promo internet prices every year with no contract. I live in S. IL For TV service I have had Directv for 3...

I was looking at Tvs recently at Walmart. They had about 20 all in a row playing the same thing. I noticed the one I was looking at was being fed by component. I asked the Walmart guy about it. He shrugged and said they were all set up that way. It is probably easier to split component VS...

Yes, very similar content, free content from Channels you subscribe to. The content that costs $$$ are PPV streaming.

Dish's interface for streaming Blockbuster is horrible and nearly unusable unless you have a lot of patience. The Directv interface for streaming is quite good and even the search function is ok. Streaming is a much better experience from Directv. Yes I have been a customer at both companies...

2 years ago when I switched to Dish fro Directv I had an overlap of 2 weeks with both services. I made many many HD A/B comparisons on a 46" Samsung LCD Tv and any differences were barely noticeable. In a blind test I could not tell if I was watching Directv or Dish. On the other hand Dish SD is...

Actually it is on Nat Geo Wild. When Maggie was alive in the mid 2000's it was on Nat Geo. I never watch the show myself but my wife likes it. So did Maggie the SharPei. I am more a Pawn Star, American Chopper type of guy. :)

What inconvenience? I use a Logitech Harmony remote, so there is no relearning after I get the Harmony re-programmed. My wife is looking forward to a Directv DVR again as she hated her VIP 612 which gave her much frustration due to its quirks. Installation is free and done by someone else. I am...

You can go to the DIrectv website and play "what if" to your hearts content. Make sure you do not have any old browser "cookies" or you may not get the New Customer promos.

When you do the pricing be careful. Directv promos gives free Premiums for 3 months. Make sure when you look at the 24 month pricing that you deduct all the Premiums, unless you plan on keeping them after the free 3 months....

I got the promo prices right off the Directv site and they show all 24 months of costs - very nice. It also easy to play what if - what if I used this package instead. 2 DVRS (1-HR34) Entertainment Package, HBO $60x12months = $720 $75x12months = $900 Equipment Upfront costs = $200 Total Cost...

Believe it or not I actually did have a dog that would watch TV. Only when there were dogs on. Animal Planet was her favorite channel and Dog Whisperer was her favorite program. I have had many dogs in my life, but only one that would actually watch TV. RIP Maggie, a wonderful Chinese SharPei...
