Yes, Mediacom is usually worth the money, but there's one major caveat. Mediacom offers a solid television service, with reasonable prices, a decent channel selection, and a good DVR. It also comes bundled with speedy internet. However, it leaves a lot to be desired for sports fans. There are no sports channels in the first-tier package, hardly any in the second tier, and several key channels are missing in others (including NFL Network). If sports programming is important to you, we recommend looking elsewhere.

If you’re looking to bundle your Mediacom TV with other services, you’re in luck. First of all, the provider only offers TV as part of a bundle, so you don’t have a choice. However, Mediacom’s internet service is quite good, with reasonable pricing and speeds up to 1 Gbps. You can also add home phone service (if you still use it).
Switching to Mediacom can be a bit pricey. While there aren’t any upfront costs to worry about, your first TV bill is likely to include several one-time charges, including the installation fee, an activation fee, and a Wi-Fi certification fee. These can catch you by surprise if you’re not prepared.
Canceling Mediacom is unfortunately complicated. Since the provider locks you into a contract, you’ll have to pay early termination fees if you cancel inside the contract term. The fee depends on the length of your specific contract—up to $120 for a one-year term, and up to $240 for a two- or three-year term. That said, the cancellation process itself shouldn’t be too much trouble. Just call Mediacom customer service and let the company know you’re done.
