I'm only a few days in but man it's great so far. Picture quality is better, and the DVR system (hopper and joeys) is just plain awesome. As a bonus I no longer have to deal with the scum at mediacom. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone with options would be a mediacom customer. I can't wait for football season.
Just dropped mediacom for Dish
- Thread starter CyScoop
- Start date
I just made the switch this week. It's great. The only thing I am going to miss is the Mediacom channel do to ISU athletics.
Dish sucks for sports compared to DirectTV. Even with all its problems, if I lived in Iowa, I'd be on Mediacom as a Cyclone fan. Don't know why fans continue to go out of their way to bash them since they are helping our program.
It's not really going out of your way when you try to support them, but get terrible service and quality.
It's the Cyclone basketball games that keep me on Mediacom. I am assuming with the new TV contracts, they won't be broadcasting football anymore. I've never really had issues with Mediacom service or quality, except the awful basketball game broadcasts. But if they go HD, it should be much better this year. Price is my biggest complaint.
Good point. Applebees is a sponsor, too, and I don't feel like I should eat there.
I actually have mediacom...I've not experienced many problems with them. I do like the perks of some of the bball games that are on there. When my contract is up I may consider dish or whatever, but now I'm ok and I get my internet through mediacom too.
I have to make this decision soon; I don't know what I would do for internet if I don't go Mediacom.
I just switched from Dish to Mediacom.. Not one complaint about Mediacom. Obviously not having the hopper/joey is stinks but I'm only paying $75 for cable/internet where as with Dish I was paying $90 just for cable alone!! Doesn't make sense to me to keep Dish especially since Mediacom will be having the Cyclone channel now..
If anyone does plan on switching to Dish, find a friend who has Dish, and get them to refer you. It saves both of you money.
We use a Dish TV/Mediacom internet combo. I don't know of any internet provider around here that is better..
You are a real man. I bet if you had a pit bull, it would obey your every command down to the most minute of details. Women probably throw themselves at you.
