Why choose Mediacom TV?

Unlike some other TV providers, Mediacom does not offer standalone TV service — you must also purchase Mediacom internet to sign up for a TV plan. Even so, bundling Mediacom TV and internet can simplify your monthly bill (though you won’t see as many discounts as you would with a provider like Xfinity, which offers a discount for each bundled service).

Mediacom internet starts at just under $20.00/mo. on its own, one of the cheapest starting prices of any provider. With TV, the price is around $60.00/mo. This is more expensive than Xfinity’s starting price for its bundles, but similar to Cox’s prices.

Mediacom packages offer cable TV and internet services in 22 states and 1,500 communities, covering much of the central and Midwest states, as well as parts of the Southeast and areas of California.

Mediacom TV vs. the competition

Multiple internet providers 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 is in line with competitor pricing but is more expensive than a few select providers, like Spectrum and Xfinity, that offer bundling discounts with their services. Compared to providers that do not offer bundling discounts, like Cox, Mediacom is on an even playing field.

Mediacom customer reviews

In our customer satisfaction report, Mediacom has an overall rating of 3.6/5. Customers rated Mediacom based on price, speed, reliability and customer satisfaction. Read more about Mediacom’s customer reviews below.

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 2024, the ACSI gave Mediacom’s TV service a score of 67/100, which is a slight step up from Mediacom’s 2023 score of 66/100. Mediacom’s customer satisfaction score compares to Spectrum’s 66 and DISH’s 68.

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