Mediacom TV vs. the competition

Multiple internet and TV providers probably offer TV plans in your area, so we help you compare your options. Select a competing provider to see how Mediacom TV prices, channels and more stack up.

Mediacom customer satisfaction ratings

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) evaluates feedback from real customers of major TV providers like Mediacom to determine annual scores for each provider.

In 2021, the ACSI gave Mediacom a score of 59/100, which is a slight step down from Mediacom’s 2020 score of 60/100. Mediacom’s customer satisfaction score is the second lowest of any provider, with only Suddenlink receiving a worse score (56/100).

Cable TV providers historically receive relatively low customer satisfaction scores, and much of the frustration around Mediacom likely centers around its yearly price increases.
