ByHow to Get a Refund for Mediacom Internet Outage Time
When the internet goes down, everything stops. Here in the information age, we do everything online. We watch movies off streaming services. We work and store files on the cloud. Our children even access their schoolwork through web portals. Home internet access is essential and Mediacom is a major internet provider in 22 states serving 1.5 million customer households.
But when a occurs, they keep charging you. According to Mediacom's terms of service, you have 30 days to claim reimbursement for your outage, but they won't offer it automatically even when the outage is their fault and unscheduled. Fortunately, you have options to get your money back and even recover lost business with DoNotPay.
How Do You Check for a Local Mediacom Internet Outage?
Mediacom does not have a readily available outage map. However, if you manage to log into your account through an alternate service (like your cellphone) they will tell you if they know about an outage in your area. If Mediacom does not acknowledge your outage, you can try their contact routes to report the outage to customer service.

Getting Compensation for Business and Wages Lost During Internet Downtime
Were your business, working hour wages, or even client appointments were affected during the time when your ? Mediacom may be liable for those losses due to their failure to warn you of the outage or provide otherwise continuous internet service.
