Upload Speeds

[HorusLupercal]

Hello All,

TLDR -

1. From Tech visit on August 18th, 2024 - the tech indicated the line was not properly grounded and would send a crew to fix. No further contact was made by Mediacom or 3rd party. I ended up calling back for follow-up.
2. From Tech visit on September 5, 2024 - a local issue was to blame for my issues. the tech didn't want to investigate anything on prem and promptly left - He said the issue would be resolved when maintenance was complete
3. From Tech visit September 10, 2024 - new drop line run from TAP to residence with proper grounding to electrical equipment. The issue still persists tech said TAP maintenance needs to be done. Arizona 811 was out here maybe over a week ago.
4. When can I expect someone to address my upload issue? Just to be clear with request I don't care, nor did I ever care, about the line being buried. I just want to know when someone will actually fix whatever is the tech found so that I can login to my company's remote assets so I can do my job. Otherwise, I can no longer afford internet.

I've been back and forth with several methods of support (text, chat, telephone, tech visit, x(formerly twitter), escalation to on-duty manager) at Mediacom as of late so I thought I would give this place a try. I've been having issues since May in Southern Arizona. In August, I was able to get someone to come take a look at the issue and confirm that the issues did in fact exist.

The mcc tech claimed that an improper ground was responsible for my issues which sounded dubious but I allowed him to dispatch his "team" to fix it. A week later, I hadn't been contacted. So I decided to call back and scheduled another tech visit.

When the second mcc tech arrived, they did not want to come on premises to investigate the issues because there was a "local issue" that was currently being worked on. Rather than have someone working on my connection that didn't want to be there, I allowed them to cancel based on their recommendation. Oh boy what a mistake to trust that guy.

I once again contacted support to schedule a tech visit. This time the original mcc tech from the first visit showed up and claimed that an improper ground wouldn't cause the issues I'm seeing (I'm glad he finally agreed with me.) I insisted that whatever the problem was, that I be fixed during today's visit. His solution was to run a new line from TAP to residence.

Now this is where I can get no traction. My issue is not fixed and MCC support seems to believe I'm calling about line burial services and will not discuss further.

I'm hoping there is a level-headed community manager out there that can investigate and assist. Please share this with whoever you feel appropriate.

Full disclosure, please do not suggest the following course of action we are well past this : "If it is still not working please power cycle the power to the modem and, if you have one, the power to your wireless router. Please wait 30 seconds and then, in this order, please plug the modem back in first and then plug in the wireless router and wait for the devices to boot up. If you're still having issues with the services after that please reach back out to us."
