One thing I've noticed is that for a lot of cable companies, high prices, les than satisfactory quality of the service received and general incompetence seem to run rampant.
This phenomenon seems to be all over the country...nationwide.
Granted, there are many cable companies out there that do a fine job and their customers are quite happy but for every one of them, there are 2-3 that are bad.
Why do you suppose that is?
Is it the nature of the service they offer?
Those Dish Network ads you see on TV poking fun at "The Cable Pig" are more accurate than many realize.
Stop feeding the pig.comWe have Mediacom and they aren't the greatest.
We have had problems with them before such as all the program info saying, "Temporarily Not Available" for days at a time.
We've also dealt with rude Customer Service Representives who talk to you in a condescending manner. I'll ask to speak to their supervisor and he or she will often be more rude than the CSR.
Demand credit on your bill.
That's what I do.
Anytime I experience less than satisfactory service that I'm required to pay for, I call for a credit.
There have been many times that I've paid next to nothing for a month of service because of all the credits I called in for.
It's the least the company can do if they're gonna continually offer crappy service.
I don't stand for poor service.
