Stupid Mediacom

I'm posting this because of a recent post on elguapo, go check it out I'm linked to his site. I looked at my mediacom bill this month and decided something, internet and cable tv are not worth 100 bucks.

I sat down to review all the charges and see if I could save a few bucks. This thing is harder to read than the koran. It has about 900 different charges and is impossible to decipher exactly what you're being charged for. I finally came to the conclusion that the movie package that my girlfriend got when she first signed up as part of some kind of package needed to go. I told my girlfriend to call them and cancel the movie channels since we never watched them anyway.

I call my girlfriend from work and ask if everything went smoothly, of course, it didn't. Somehow they managed to convince her that she's only paying 2 bucks a month for these channels. This could very well be the truth seeing as how I couldn't read the damned bill anyway. The point I want to make is that whether it was costing 2 or 200 bucks I asked for it to be cancelled so cancel the shit already.

I decide it's probably best if I just call mediacom and let them know I don't care how much it costs. It looks to me as though it's costing me 24 bucks a month. Like I said before, though, I could very well be wrong. I call mediacom and this is how the conversation goes. (roughly)

Me: "Hi my account number is blah blah blah and I'd like to cancel such and such movie channels."

mediacom rep: Well sir, according to my computer you're currently only paying $2 a month for this service.

Me: I don't care how much you say it's costing me, I told you I wanted to cancel it

rep: well sir, it's a very good deal

Me: I don't watch those channels, EVER, and I want to save those $2 a month.

rep: well sir, would you like to subscribe to one of our other movie channels instead.

Me: NO!, I made it very clear what I'd like to do.

rep: and what was that?

Me: Are you kidding? do you really not remember I wanted to cancel such and such services.

rep well sir, I'm sure we can go ahead and do this, I just need to confirm your name and address and the last four of your social.

ME: blah blah blah

rep: I'm sorry sir but you're not listed on the account, you're not allowed to change any account information.

Me: What's the name on the fucking check you recieve every month. I think that puts my name on the account!

rep Click.

I seriously couldn't believe a customer service rep hung up on me. I'll admit I deserved it I was kind of being a dick. I understand that she had a job to do, and I didn't make it any easier. However, When I say I want to do something don't try to talk me out of it for ten minutes. I know what I want and of what concern is it to you? Here's the point in a nutshell. Mediacom sucks and why does changing such simple things have to be such a chore. When did we really lose the idea of what customer service means?

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
It gets down to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Yeah, Mediacom's customer service is the worst. I was hung up 5 times from MedidaCom. And when I wanted to cancel their service, they gave me a NON-EXISTING number.

Hi I was just reading up on your issues with MEDIACOM. That’s never fun to deal with. I'm sorry to hear about it but I wanted to tell you that I have DISH Network as my TV provider and I get 100% digital programming everyday, nationwide. As a DISH employee I can even tell you that as a qualified customer you can even get HD Free for Life which saves you $120.00 per year unlike MEDIACOM. Check out DishNetwork.com for more info.
