Log in to Mediacom's bill pay portal with your account number and password
Mediacom's online bill pay system is called My Account. To log in, go to mediacom.com and click the "My Account" button in the top right corner. You will need your account number (found on your paper bill) and the password you created when you first registered.
If you do not have a password yet, you can create one by clicking "Register" on the login page. Mediacom will ask for your account number, phone number, and email address to verify your identity. Once you register, you can log in immediately and set up bill pay.
If you forget your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Mediacom will send a reset link to the email address on file. Check your spam folder if you do not see it within a few minutes.

Pay a one-time bill with a bank account, debit card, or credit card
After you log in to My Account, click "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment." You will see your current balance and due date. Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance, a partial amount, or more than you owe.
Choose your payment method. Mediacom accepts bank account transfers (called ACH), debit cards, and credit cards. Bank account and debit card payments have no fee. Credit card payments carry a fee that Mediacom will show you before you confirm — the fee is usually 2 to 3 percent of the payment amount, though this varies.
Enter your payment details and confirm. One-time payments process immediately, and your account will update within one business day. Mediacom will send a confirmation email to the address on file.
Set up automatic payments so you never miss a due date
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting to pay. In My Account, click "Manage Auto Pay" or "Set Up Autopay." Choose the amount (your full bill, a fixed dollar amount, or a minimum payment), the payment method, and the day of the month you want the payment to come out.
Mediacom will process the first automatic payment on the date you select. After that, the payment will happen automatically every month on that same day. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time in My Account — the change takes effect on your next scheduled payment date.
If you set automatic payments for a date after your due date, you may be charged a late fee on the first month. Choose a date before your due date to avoid this.
Understand the difference between ACH, debit, and credit card payments
ACH (bank account transfer) pulls money directly from your checking or savings account. It has no fee, takes one to two business days to process, and is the cheapest option. You will need your bank's routing number and your account number to set it up.
Debit card payments process immediately and have no fee. You need the card number, expiration date, and CVV (the three-digit code on the back). Debit payments are faster than ACH but carry the same cost.
Credit card payments also process immediately but include a fee of roughly 2 to 3 percent. Mediacom will show you the exact fee before you confirm. Credit cards are useful if you want to earn rewards points, but the fee eats into any benefit. Never use a credit card to pay a bill you cannot afford to pay off — the interest will cost far more than the payment fee.
View your bill, payment history, and account details in My Account
Once you log in, you can see your current bill, past bills, and a record of every payment you have made. Click "View Bill" to download a PDF of your current statement or any previous month. This is useful if you need to check charges, dispute an amount, or keep records for your taxes or insurance.
Your payment history shows the date, amount, and method of every payment you have made. If a payment does not appear within one business day, contact Mediacom customer service — sometimes payments are delayed if there was a technical issue.
You can also update your contact information, change your service address, and view your service plan details in My Account. If you move or change your phone number, update it here so Mediacom can reach you about your account.
Troubleshoot login problems and account access issues
If you see an error message when you try to log in, first check that you are using the correct account number. Your account number is a string of digits on your bill — do not use your phone number or service address. Copy and paste the number from your bill to avoid typos.
If your password is correct but you still cannot log in, your account may not be registered yet. Click "Register" and follow the steps to create a My Account login. If registration fails, your account may have a hold or a billing issue. Call Mediacom customer service at the number on your bill to resolve it before you can register online.
If you registered but cannot remember which email address you used, call customer service. They can look up your account and confirm the email on file, or help you register with a different email address.
Know when to call Mediacom customer service instead of paying online
Pay online for routine bills and payments. Call Mediacom customer service if you have a billing dispute, want to discuss a late fee, need to set up a payment plan, or have questions about charges on your bill. Customer service can sometimes remove late fees or work out a payment arrangement if you are behind.
You should also call if you want to report a service problem (like slow internet or no signal) at the same time you pay, because My Account does not let you submit a service request while paying. Have your account number and a description of the problem ready when you call.
Mediacom's customer service number is on your bill and on mediacom.com. Wait times are usually shorter early in the morning or late in the evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Mediacom bill by phone or mail?
Yes. You can call the number on your bill and pay over the phone with a bank account, debit card, or credit card. You can also mail a check to the address on your bill — include your account number on the check. Mailed checks take 7 to 10 days to process, so mail early if your due date is soon.
What happens if I pay after the due date?
Mediacom charges a late fee, usually 5 to 10 percent of your bill amount, though the exact fee depends on your service plan. The late fee appears on your next bill. If you are frequently late, set up automatic payments for a date before your due date to avoid the fee.
Can I pay someone else's Mediacom bill?
You can pay online only if you have the account number and password. If you do not have login access, call Mediacom customer service and ask to pay by phone. Have the account number ready. You will need to provide your own payment method, but the payment will go toward the account you name.
Is it safe to pay my bill online?
Mediacom's website uses encryption to protect your payment information. Do not share your password with anyone, and do not log in from a public Wi-Fi network if you can avoid it. If you see charges you did not make, contact Mediacom immediately — they can dispute unauthorized payments.
Why is there a fee for credit card payments?
Credit card companies charge Mediacom a processing fee when you use a card. Mediacom passes this fee to you. Bank account and debit card payments have lower processing costs, so Mediacom does not charge a fee for those methods.
