Mediacom Cable

1 of 5 stars June 27, 2023

My internet provider is very glitchy. The service is off more than it is on and very unreliable even in clear conditions. The commercials come on advertising them as reliable and I just laugh at of frustration because they are the exact opposite and their customer service line is a joke. I would switch, but in my area there really is no other option.
