    I have wasted many hours being turned around in circles with Cox Internet customer services. All I can say is just because they said something is a certain way doesn’t mean that it is. Most of the agents will tell you what you want to hear and then it won’t add up when it comes time pay. I have been on so many calls and they all tell you something different. I tried to get the supervisor on the line so he could play back the recording of my last conversations and they left me on hold for an hour and never picked up. During that time I was in a chat trying to figure out who I could talk to make a formal complaint and no will ever allow it and the they just disconnected my chat when they figured out that I wasn’t going upgrade.

    It is obvious that this company doesn’t care how you have been treated as there is no one to talk to aside from the person who answered your call. I wish they would listen to my calls because I was very specific with 3 different people and I asked very clear questions and they just outright lied to me each time. Once I was off the call I got a verification of new services and they had me paying 50% more than was discussed. So I had to get back in the phone and cancel my service. Watch them closely and make sure you are getting what you pay for. Anyways they may have me pigeoned holed as the only viable option for internet in my area but the minute there is a better option I will jump ship and never come back. It is laughable that they keep trying to get me to switch my mobile service. I will never use them for anything I am not forced to use them on.

    The service is terrible, and on top of that, when it came to burying the cables, they did a terrible job, leaving a mess in my yard. The price is ridiculously expensive for a service that doesn't work most of the time.

    I have been without internet service for two days and will go into a 3rd. Went through all of the troubleshooting and they had me go buy a new modem, which I knew was not the problem. Now, I wait until late tomorrow for a tech to look at the connection to the house which I know is the issue after spending hundreds of dollars for no good reason. We pay a ridiculous sum for their "best" service. I work from home, as does two others in my household. Based on this, what would EVER make want to get their mobile service?

    To make matters worse, we were disconnected from the tap plate by a Cox technician yesterday and today, they don't know what is wrong. Whenever Google Fiber is available for my area, I will switch immediately. I have tired of decades of monopolized substandard offerings that increase in cost and decrease in value with each passing day.

    Cox Cable raise my bill by 26%. I called them on December 30 and try to figure out what was going on. They would not help me so I told him to cancel my service. I called them four times. Finally I talked to somebody I do believe on March 4 or March 5 and told him I’m not paying my bill. I told you guys to shut my service off but they kept billing me. Now I have an outstanding bill for $417.86. I don’t know why because I told them to shut my service off on December 30 And they would not until I finally got a hold of somebody and they took me serious in March and now they’re trying to backfill me for everything. I would not go to Cox cable because if you have a problem like this, wouldn’t you tell him to shut the service off? They won’t do it so they can still charge you. I never was late on one payment. I had no late fees until they raise the price. I told him to shut it off and they did not.

They overcharged me, after call, they issued me a gift card, which is not working. I never got to use it. Call the debit card company and Cox customers service, the agent tells me to retail.

    We've been Cox Cable customers for years but the BUCK stops now! As several other Raters have reviewed, Cox Cable's monthly (Basic service) bill has gone up monthly almost $300 and they use retaliatory tactics to coerce you into believing the reason for going up on their bill is acceptable. For example, when I spoke to the Executive Resolution Specialist -Executive Escalations Team, they discovered I had a "promotion" that expired for the reason my bill was substantially rising, I knew nothing about any promotions. Now they say I have another promotion expiring in March but after will cause my bill to increase ONCE AGAIN, Cox Cable has graciously cut a few dollars off the new bill (which is still much higher).

    I am a senior and a retired law enforcement officer on a fixed income. Cox Cable does NOT give Senior or Veteran discounts, however they will discount you if you are on EBT. After pondering this I have decided Cox Cable is an Empire apparently and they aren't required to do anything to help me. I contacted The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. They closed the case. BBB has numerous (and I mean NUMEROUS) complaints on Cox Cable but they aren't doing anything either. I won't stop here. It is my opinion that Cox Cable has reeled in all their glory and keeping it in Ft. COX. Other small businesses don't have a chance to catch up to them and the government is not helping either at this point but I think THAT will change shortly. This company does not have to cater to anyone. Cox Cable doesn't have to help anyone but they will keep making their Empire stronger until someone with authority steps in.

    I have had Cox for years, it is the ONLY high speed option in our area. We are currently on our second modem/router in less than a year and having problems with that, they have replaced everything from the coax to the box controlling the string of apartments in our area. Still having internet drops where I have to go up and restart the modem. So I thought I would buy my own modem. Went to their website of compatible modems and bought one. After 1/2 an hour texting a tech, I was told it was not compatible. Returned it to the store and got another one that was on their list. After 40 minutes on the phone and 4 different people from tech to sales to promotions and back to tech, they tell me this one isn't compatible either. Don't trust their compatibility list, it isn't correct.

I am not even going to go over the poorest programming for the money. Since leaving I livestream everything for a fraction of the cost, no 11 commercials every 11 minutes.

    I am extremely disappointed with the customer service provided by this cable company. After three attempts to schedule an appointment for a technician, the company provided inexperienced technician, canceled on me twice, each time without providing a clear explanation or offering any viable solution. When a technician finally arrived, it was evident they were not properly trained. They were unable to resolve the issue, leaving me with the same problem I had from the start. Escalating the matter to a supervisor was equally frustrating. Despite promises to address the situation, no meaningful action was taken, and my concerns remain unresolved. The lack of accountability, repeated cancellations, and poor training of staff make this a company I cannot recommend. Save yourself the headache and consider other options.

    As of 12/1/24, Cox stand-alone internet costs $166.25 per month! For $20 more, I can also get 75 cable channels. I have been a customer for over 20 years. The best promo they could give me for cable and internet is $185/month. My internet is listed on my bill as being only $52.00. Why is stand-alone internet more than THREE TIMES the regular price? Not only is this unethical, but probably illegal, too. Price gouging at its finest. Cox has probably figured out that most people are cutting the cord and going to only internet and streaming somewhere else. So basically, we are paying for all the other people who have bailed on them. Cox is ripe for a class action lawsuit with unfair business practices. I would take my business elsewhere, but they are the only internet provider in my neighborhood. Someone needs to investigate their pricing structure.

    Cox Cable is getting a significant increase in December. If you view your bill, you will see that some of the increases are astronomical! I had a contract with them until 2026 but they are not abiding by that contract, saying that it was a "term agreement" not a contract so they do not have to abide by it. I was told that the economy is bad. Well, well, I didn't know that. The "customer service representative" (and I use that word lightly) didn't even know what my monthly bill was. I asked her how much it would be and she said I was currently paying $256.00 so my bill would be $266.00.

    Problem one: my bill is NOT $256.00 and never has been. I don't know what she was looking at but she obviously didn't know what she was talking about. When talking to a supervisor, turns out the bill will go up $16.00 and not $10.00. I really liked the contour thing with pause, rewind, and fast forward, but I can tell you this: it ain't worth $266.00 a month and they can go up any time they please, contract or no contract. If at all possible, go somewhere else. This company is horrible and the training leaves a whole lot to be desired since they can't even read the screen that's in front of them.

    I have never dealt with a company that was so unethical, imcompetent and unprofessional. I cancelled my internet service early May 2024 and was told to throw away the modem b/c Cox was getting all brand new equipment. Unfortunately my mom passed away the end of May and I wasn't aware that Cox continued to auto-bill me $90 a month for the service. I didn't notice it until the end of August. When I brought it to their attention, after several calls and so much time, they wouldn't give me a refund. I couldn't even get a manager on the phone to speak to me. I was then told if I don't return the equipment, I'll be charged another $230+. I fought this too but to no avail. I only paid the equipment charge so it didn't affect my credit. Essentially Cox stole apprx. $600 from me. If you need internet or tv service, do not use COX, - contact Verizon. They are the best.

    It’s great when it works but routinely is down over the last month. In addition, goes out sporadically for a few minutes at critical times. Staff can do nothing except sometimes apologizes. Often blames my equipment. Either way, I end up without internet for hours each week. No reason other than there is an outage. Today they blamed my equipment.

    Often I know there is an outage long before they inform us there is an outage. Customer service provides platitudes. Worthless customer service and support especially when already resolved. Won’t explain what the issues have been. Just focused on all is working now though just had another issue that wasn’t an outage expect for hours. What’s the issues that cause the frequent outages. Individual outage today was at most critical time. Technology: can’t live with it and can’t live without it. Great when works. Horrible when it doesn’t. Outages that lasted much of the day on Sept 20, 24, 25 & Oct 13.

    This is the worst customer service I ever received. When I first had Cox install internet in my home they pushed me out an entire week but then in the date of service installation I waited for 4 hours and nobody showed up. To make things worse, when I called I couldn’t get a hold of anybody. Now I am having trouble transferring my service to my new address. When I first called I specifically told the rep on the phone that I needed service to stay in at my old address for a week and turn it on at my new address sooner. He said I would just have to move the mod m box to my new location and that was it. That was a lie. All they did was turn it off at my old address too soon leaving me without internet and when I reached out online, all their only solution was to try to upsell me. If that wasn’t enough, the next day when I got it turned back on, I told them to move the transfer to a specific date which they never did. And now that the transfer was completed my internet is not working and they refuse to adequately compensate me.

    Cox Communications is a direct portal to Hell and once they have their hooks in you…Believe you cannot extricate yourself from their greedy claws. I have been a customer for decades, bundled with TV, phone & internet service spending literally thousands of dollars annually. Over these decades, every time we experienced a “problem” with their service…They send some technician over to replace cable. Look at the photos, my house has 50 miles of coaxial hanging off it…Literally! The workmanship and shortcuts taken are abysmal. So last year when I was planning to replace my roof and fascia, they sent a guy out who said, "We could rip out all the cable hanging off the house (and inside cable too) and run a single short line into the house and run everything off WIFI…no charge. It would take an hour or two at most." However, it rained constantly that Fall season and our project had to be postponed.

    So I contact them today to schedule this and now they tell me they want $100.00 for the work. Now maybe I’m just in a mood or maybe Cox has become ridiculously greedy but this bovine excrement FEE just infuriated me to my core and compelled me to choose to remove Cox from my life. Their service has been problematic all along anyway, regular outages and shutting off service because we missed a payment date by a week. See what should be their logo in the attached pics. Cox Communications sets the Customer Care bar so low…You need a backhoe to find it. So I am now cutting the cord, ripping all their cable (that hangs like thick spaghetti) off my home and getting a competitor's service and television apps (which I use more & more anyway (because there’s nothing good on Cox TV ever) and the savings will more than pay for the change.

    If you don’t have sufficient grief in your life…Cox is there to provide it. If you wish to remove grief, cut the Cox cord like me. They do not deserve any customer loyalty. They do not care about being loyal to those stupid enough to stick with them despite their miserable service, dumb policies, poor workmanship, outages and added fees. Cox sucks. If they sucked any harder, they would create a black hole and drag all of humanity into oblivion.

Today, I had 2 small issues, it took me 2 phone calls, (the first one gave me incorrect information, so I called back), to get the issues corrected.

    I've had Cox bundle service since they started their operation over 30 years ago. There have been issues over the years, but not like recently. Renegotiating rates every 1-2 years has become a hassle. Unfortunately in the last couple of years, TV service has been at its worst. It's out more than it's on during extreme weather; heavy rain or intense heat. After having all equipment inside my house and out replaced, I'm told the issue is with the main lines. I don't understand why it's so difficult for Cox to fix. Except for a very few, and I mean a very few, customer service is the worst. They're rude and rarely helpful, feeling as if they're reading from a script. I write today because my service is once again out from the heat. In all good conscience, I do not recommend Cox.

    Unfortunately Cox is about the only option for internet/cable in this area; we are constantly having outages, especially when tourist volume is high. They closed the Destin store, so Ft Walton is closest to change equipment, which keeps failing. Customer service on the phone takes forever and when they determine that they cannot help resolve your issue, it takes almost 2 weeks to get an appt for a tech to come out and warn that you will be charged a service visit fee. Cox charges extreme monthly payments for less than marginal service. Will likely drop all TV services and switch to streaming services only, however, I don't trust their internet speed to function properly. Many times when the speed has been tested, it does not come in at the rate they are charging for the service.

    If you value your sanity, avoid Cox Internet at all costs. This company has redefined incompetence with their astounding ability to combine exorbitant billing with abysmal service. Despite paying premium prices, I have been graced with an internet connection that simply doesn’t work. Upon calling to report this issue, I was met with the feeble excuse of a fiber outage that was allegedly being fixed that same day. Here I am, four days later, still without internet.

    Every day, I’ve dutifully called their so-called support line, only to be fed the same tired lie that the issue is being resolved and moving "in the right direction." The reality? My internet remains down. Cox blames an outside company for managing the fiber, absolving themselves of any responsibility while their customers suffer from their blatant neglect and mismanagement.

    This farce occurs like clockwork every monsoon season, making it impossible to get anything done, let alone maintain a remote job. The sheer frustration is compounded by their rude customer service representatives and unhelpful management. They're quick to hound you for payment the moment your bill is due but vanish when it's time to provide the service you're paying for. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

They apologized and said it would be taken care of. One month later, another bill came, this time with an additional $50 charge for a 'returned payment fee'.

    Even though Cox was aware of my mom's death, when I called about this $80 bill, the agent asked if my mom was available to verify that I could I speak to the Cox agent about the account. This company has incredibly poor and inefficient automated systems and does not know how to handle everyday occurrences, like their customers passing away. This experience has been absolutely terrible. And worse, when trying to reconcile this, the agents say they are unable to change the situation on the system side and everything is automated.

    This is likely the worst large cable, internet & home security company you'll find. If you're in their area I strongly suggest going with Dish Satellite if you're able to. They're not perfect but guess what? Their service has far more channels & less issues than Cox. I had Cox for yrs in 2 states by force, because I was in their monopoly. They're ruthless, expensive, rude, not customer service oriented, lack appreciation nor understand, that without customers they wouldn't have jobs. The service constantly went down with zero explanation as to why or notice! So if you're watching a football game, good luck! It might go down on that big play for the win!

    Their security system once installed you can't get the motion detector, smoke detector or door alarms removed. The technician will tell you it will damage whatever property you're in. If it's an apartment you will be charged so best to leave it there. If you don't return it to its normal condition you run the risk of the landlord charging you for damage anyway. I got lucky, my prior landlord didn't charge me but it was still risky. I was forced out of my unit due to major construction flaws. Huge expense & inconvenience having to move 3 months later especially since, City inspectors are inept, but give new construction Certificates of Occupancy anyway.

    I sued the landlord & won for not making accommodations, which legally they were required to do since the flaws were not my doing. They refused, then lost in court. Cox refused to let me off the hook & tried to charge me $1200 for contract breach on something I couldn't control. If I refused to leave they threatened to evict me & physically toss my belongings on the street. Never rent from cruel vicious landlords! We fought for a long time before they finally left me alone. I refused to pay them & DARED them to ding my credit! I know how to fight back on credit issues. I strongly suggest getting Dish, not DirecTV because they have contract nightmares when it expires. I've heard too many complaints.

    I've had Dish for 3 yrs. As I said they're not perfect but better than Cox & if you live in apartments where they don't allow you to have satellite dishes, attached to the property they have what's called a Sled. It looks like a bear trap & comes in 2 sizes. I've used it now in 2 apartments & it's fine, it prevents attachment to property that you don't own. You may need to get Cox internet but good luck with it because it crashes all the time. Hughes is not a good option for internet. If you're able to get someone else's internet service I would try to do that. I've had yrs. of horrible billing errors, service issues, terrible customer service, equipment issues & even no concern from corporate from Cox.

    Use Simpli Safe or another security company. I'd steer clear of ADT & Vivint. They have their own set of problems. Do your deep dive research on any company you intend to use. They'll tell you anything & price shouldn't matter. You get what you pay for. I've had experiences with every cable company out there except TDS. We had their wiring in an apartment complex, the internet crashed for several hours numerous times, always when no one could get to us & while I was working since I work remote. So I have stories on all of them! Proceed with caution if you're stuck in a monopoly. I only have TDS now & none of the apartments in my area unless, they're really old have their service or even allow it. That's why I have Dish.

    I won't give it up unless I'm in an area where I know the cable company to be better. I don't do streaming anything. I like live TV & won't settle for streaming. The FCC says that it's illegal for any landlord to not allow you the option to have cable TV. Why? Because your cell phone will not give you all of the important emergency alerts. Live TV will faster. I don't live on my phone either. So far none of them I can attest to are great or perfect. They're super expensive with terrible customer service & sub par service.

    Just my experience to help someone avoid a tragic error. Make your own decisions, I'm just giving you my experience to help you know what problems you may encounter just in case you do. The billing errors with Cox were out of control. I think I got free service for months due to their errors. I was able to call them out on it every time because I kept & READ my bills! You have to or you'll be cheated for sure. Good luck folks!

He was very deceptive just to get his commission and credit due to providing false accurate information.

    I called Cox as a loyal customer several times to discuss this and they even refused to allow me to speak with a supervisor regarding this situation. All I received was dismissive pretend friendly behavior not one person said that they would report this Sales Rep and honor his promise that I was given. Also Cox Mobile is terrible and I'll be switching that soon when I signed up it was mentioned that it would be 1GB of Ram plus unlimited talk and text for $15 a month.

    My elderly mom has had Cox Cable for many years, so you'd expect she'd be treated well as a long standing customer. Her service is frequently interrupted either for outages or maintenance. When that happens, the TV goes down & she cannot use the service. It does not self-correct. She has called in for assistance but the customer service agents are not prepared to walk her through how to reset the TV. If we are around, we will call in for her & have them walk us through it. Even though we are more tech savvy, it is not an easy process to get the customer service agent to know what's needed to restore the TV. It's all been made too complicated in my view.

    In addition, the customer service support is geared toward sending people online. Mom used to get Cox internet service, but that also went out frequently so she stopped paying for it, so we cannot access Cox online support. Now Mom needs to move. I called yesterday to ask that only her phone be moved & that she be credited for this past week that she has not had cable. The Cox rep confirmed that there was a cable service outage a week ago, but would not give Mom credit for the time lost. I'm really fed up with them! There are multiple records on Mom's account of my calls to get stuff fixed. Yesterday, I asked to speak to supervisor to escalate the request to get service credit, and even though the rep had put me on hold multiple times to go speak with someone, she said a supervisor wasn't available. I said I'd wait. She took me off her phone line & told me she was putting me into the "supervisor's queue".

    I wasn't born yesterday, but I played along in good faith hoping someone would come on the line to speak with me. Nope. Today I went online from my home to try to check whether the request for the phone COA was in place, but there is no evidence that the request was acted upon & no one to talk with. I went online because the number I called yesterday indicated that they are closed. Searching their webpages & using their Chat, I found a number that was supposed to provide support from 10am-6pm ET today, my call to 888-246-1778 yielded the message that "our office is currently closed". I have to say that this instance is similar to my years of experience with my own & my Mom's Cox accounts. I was so happy when we moved out of the Cox area a few years ago.

I've spoken with over 15 employees about this and they all make me repeat the information and tell me another dept will help me, then they transfer me and make me do it all over again.

    My 89 year old father became ill and went into the hospital and died 4 days later. As I was helping my mom with funeral services and other death responsibilities she made the comment that some bills were due. My father always paid the bills. She got the checkbook and paid some bills. The Cox bill was overdue because my father was in the hospital dying. We drove to the post office and I personally handed the bills to the postal worker. Later that week my mom went to a local Cox office and tried to change the bill to her name since my father died. Reggie told her the check hadn't cleared and told her not to pay anything yet. He said she would have to open her own account and he set up an installation date for next Thursday.

    Well, this weekend Cox turned off her service, so my 84 year old mom now doesn't have a phone, cable, or internet service! The service location is the same, just a name change for the bill was needed. My mom is going back to the store tomorrow to try and get this situation resolved. Cox has added a late penalty fee to the bill and is trying to charge my mom as a new customer now! This company is inhumane! My parents have been Cox customers for close to 40 years and this is how they treat their customers? All the other bills my mom paid that day have cleared the bank, only Cox is still outstanding. I can't believe Cox cable can be so cold and cruel.

    I ordered MGM+ and Cox’s system refused to allow access to On Demand programming. I contacted customer service FOUR times. Terrible attention to the issue. After TWO HOURS of attempting to diagnose issue, I finally was able to get them to cancel the subscription since their connectivity is AWFUL. My sincere advice as a Cox customer is to never, ever, ever order a subscription service through these charlatans. Simply order the service direct from the provider. That way the service will actually work. Cox is sluggish and molasses-slow with terrible customer service. Disgusting corporate juggernaut that cares not one whit about its customer base. It should never take two hours to solve an issue when Cox Cable is supposedly the best in the business at offering entertainment to its customer base.

    Three days ago I spent one hour and 42 minutes on the phone with four different technical service representatives explaining that I had a defective pod in my Cox MESH system. The first representative escalated my call to an "advanced" rep. who told me that they would replace the pod and that he would transfer me to an agent who could help me. Of course that agent disagreed and told me that Cox wouldn't replace the item and that she could transfer me to a different agent to discuss this. After a very brief and cordial visit I was cut off in the middle of that conversation.

    I called tech support back and the person on the line said that I needed to have a technician come to my house so one was scheduled for three days later between 1 and 3. That afternoon around 1 o'clock I received a message that the technician was delayed and that it would be between 3 and 5 before he could show up. At 4:40 the technician arrived and after I told him the problem he told me that he was told it was a different problem and he didn't know anything about the Cox MESH system. Now I have another technician scheduled to come tomorrow between 8 and 10. Hopefully that will be able to help me.

I keep BER testing notes about readings the technicians are getting. I've triggered pole maintenance by COX and this has still not fixed my issues. Even with working I run an E-Commerce business which requires me to attend, and host many zoom meetings. Most times I can't keep a meeting going, audio/video repeatedly goes out.

    As I am writing this today I am trying to watch an episode of HALO. An hour show I started an hour ago to the minute I have only managed to watch 8.5 minutes worth because my internet continues to go in and out. They push their package on you saying you won't have to pay for repairs if you add this protection to your bill. Shouldn't have to anyway since the service never works. In all honesty with this lack of service, and knowledge my service should be free for the remainder of my contract! It seems to have been good for a little under a month since last tech visit, April 16 2022, and now all this week, nothing but in and out spotty service.

    A note about the customer service. They seem genuine in wanting to help but are reading off a script. It always comes down to how many devices they see connected. For them, anything more than a contour box is too much. Per their own techs, devices connected is never the issue yet they peddle this as the customers fault. Also if anyone has issues with their contour recordings, this is an issue with them however they will not disclose this. They have cloud issues and this has been an ongoing issue for quite a while now. You can do the research on this for yourself. I wish there was a better option out there for internet, but at this point, dial-up is faster IMO.

    We had Cox for about 5 years. After selling our home to downsize, we rented An apartment for 7 months and supposedly transferred our Cox account. My wife received a text message with a fantastic rate. Needless to say, when the bill came it was around 60.00 more a month than quoted. We called Cox and basically received the run around. We were connected to a hospitality division, in which they adjusted the bill somewhat. That lasted for one month and again no one could help. We went back to the Manchester store and one girl told us when looking at our text that it was a computer generated mistake. I finally talked to one young man who said we were in the right, tried to fix the bill but couldn’t, so he gave us a credit for the month. (Actually the next month I called and he adjusted the invoice again) Unfortunately he left Cox.

    When we moved, we switched providers due to the hassles with chasing down billing issues. When I cancelled my Cox account, the agent was very nice and offered me the price I received in the text. However, I had everything in place and decided not to stay with Cox. I discussed my balance with her as the month was prorated.

    Now, after 3 different discussions with Cox and everyone passing me along, I am being hit with a termination fee…my point; I did not sign a contract as I am month to month.

If you have any features /services on your Cox account and if you want to have any removed, they will make it extremely difficult for you to remove because they want to keep billing you. If you call or chat online to try and remove any service, ask for a confirmation# or a work order# as they will continue to charge you with hopes that you will not notice.

    If it is still on your account and make another attempt to contact them and if you do not have any proof, they will insist that the request was NOT completed previously and they will NOT credit you. Unless you get a confirmation and are able to prove that it was removed, you will keep getting charged.

After almost a year of fighting with them to maintain at LEAST 3.5 MBPS on my 50 MBPS plan so I could work I finally gave in and upgraded to the 'gigablast' program. This helped by upping my speed to a usable level (over 3.5 MBPS). Performance has NEVER exceeded 50% of the advertised speed and often is a fraction of that. In addition the service has routine outages. FORTUNATELY my new employer allows me to use my hotspot or else I would have been fired long ago. I get disconnect on average 5-10 times a day. I would use ANYTHING ELSE if there was a reasonable competitor in my zip code. In summary, the service is horribly unreliable and the advertised speed is a complete lie.

    We would lose WiFi totally numerous times a day. When this happened at night we would get text messages from our security system, because it used WiFi for communication of base station to sensors. Many nights we could see there were 5-8 outages, which meant our security system was down too. Cox researched & said these were outages in our neighborhood, not anything to do with our equipment.

    I asked to cancel since we couldn’t depend on our security system. The agent talked to a supervisor who said we could cancel without paying the $200 termination fee. After we had Zona installed (which is fabulous) and had switched TV providers we called to cancel service. They said we had to pay the $200 early termination fee. I explained that the supervisor had said we could cancel without a fee because of the verified outages that rendered our security system useless. They wouldn’t let me talk to a supervisor at all. I called back several times & tried again. I couldn’t dispute the $200 fee on my credit card because I had signed the contract. In the end I made the $200 back in 2 months because I am paying $100 less a month for Zona & streaming TV.

    My Cisco receiver was working intermittently. I took my receiver to a COX store on Thursday. They gave me a new one in place of the one I returned. It took about an hour to drive back and forth to the store. It took about 30 minutes to get the replacement Cisco router at the store. I hooked up the receiver. The most basic part of the receiver, which is the ON/OFF Switch, did not work. After doing some testing, I called the helpline. It took about 40 minutes for the Tech person who had difficulty with communication to say the receiver is BAD.

    He recommended that I go to the store – how convenient of the Cox Business. I asked it is the responsibility of Cox to send a replacement to my home today. He said he will put the order today and it should take 3 to 5 days for me to receive the receiver. I said this is a poor service given that I did my part of going to the COX store and was given a defective receiver.

    I spoke with his supervisor. He said he can TRY to have it delivered the next day (Friday), or more likely the day after (Saturday). I received an email on Thursday that I will receive an email to know about the delivery day/time. I checked email multiple times until Friday morning. I received an email from UPS (a shipping company with unreliable service). It said the item has been received in the local warehouse and will be delivered by “Friday, May 21, by 7 PM”. Needless to say, that did not happen. I checked email this morning (Saturday) to find out the delivery is scheduled for “Monday, May 24, by 7 PM”. The representative of the COX company does not even have the decency to contact me. And probably no one else.

    I suspect they already know who they are, how they do their business and are focusing on spending less and getting more money from customers – the whole system is created to make them more money with the least amount of expense – that is the ultimate new CAPITALISM – make the rich richer and make the middle class poor and make the poor to despair and become hopeless.

    Now, you will be the judge. Cox is a company with less than average service all around. What kind of company gives a “Brand new electronic device” that has the lowest level of quality control (ON/OFF switch works). The box was new and shiny. The receiver is probably a third-rate refurbished item. Greed for this company (and others) knows no bound. Given the poor service, a COX salesperson has the audacity to send an email to come to my house and sell me security. I suppose they are trained the way their bosses and learn their ethics from their CIO, CFO, CEO, and others in the COX management.

    You see, they keep selling services which they KNOW they don’t have the capability to deliver. In my area, I am told, it will take at least 6 more months before they can decide when to add a unit to provide low-end data service. They know this, but they are happy to charge me for 1/5 of the data bandwidth they are charging me. Is this stealing? Is this unethical? Is this right?

    Should we as citizens expect our local, state, and federal governments to let these companies mislead and mistreat consumers? Such companies create deep pockets for some people across the board to look the other way around and be (re)elected to enrich themselves and their bosses (companies who their backers and essentially vote them into their government).

    P.S. ***** We are experiencing more and more problems. This, I congratulate the City of Scottsdale, Arizona Corporation Commissioner, Attorney General, and the Governor who have done their duty and due diligence to support COX BUSINESS. In contrast, I give my condolences to many people like me who have become a new kind of slave to the BIG and ULTRA BIG businesses. *****

I asked to not have a contract in the beginning and the lady I spoke to said it would be an extra $10. I said ok. They put me in a contract anyway, and made me talk to 100 people before I finally was done with it and gave in to their manipulation tactics just to stop arguing.

    When finally closing my account (thank God I moved to where I don't have to have their service), the lady on the phone told me 3-4 times that I would not have any other bills. She lied.

They have "limited promotions" that end without noticed and skyrocket your bill.

    Today when I tried to see if there was anything I could do to lower my bill after telling them I no longer needed cable, the salesman said he had a promotion bringing my bill from $149 to $122 without discussing any changes in speed or removing cable or anything, just a "promotion." I forgot that our bill had gone up from $136 to $149 and said that was barely a $10 difference and from that point on he condescendingly used my name in every message. "Actually Elyse what I see is..." I had a gut feeling he ignored me when I said I no longer needed cable so I brought it up again and turns out that brings it down to $95 but he tried to tell me "you get more of a discount if you bundle."

In my opinion these Third Party vendors have very little experience; I have asked a couple of them about their experience with Cox and they said they only had been hired and trained recently, so they had very little field experiences to assist them with their review and completion of work I requested.

High pricing for cable TV, must have landline for bundle of TV, cable and phone for bundle package when most users no longer use landline. Some discounts offered for new users only, long term customers are not offered incentives and receive poor service.

    Cox is highly overpriced and delivers sub-par service. There is always something going wrong, from frozen channels to disappearing "saved" recordings. As is the case with all cable companies, they claim to offer many channels but the lineup is not as extensive. We can't wait until our contract is over.

    Cox Cable has been around for a long time but where I live their Wi-Fi is not good even though I've upped my Wi-Fi speed. I have a granddaughter that in school it still does not meet my needs. I mean I'm paying premium price for their services but it's not good. It really it surprises me that the majority of these companies have a monopoly on their services. The services should be cheaper.

    My reason for being disappointed and dissatisfied is simple. There is no other choice in southern Orange County California. We're supposedly living in a modern free market economy, however Cox Cable and its other major competition AT&T seem to have a no competition pact between them, in which AT&T covers the southern portion of my Congressional District, which is northern San Diego County and Cox covers the northern portion, which is southern Orange County. This impacts me as a retired combat veteran on a fixed income, because with AT&T I would and did qualify to pay $9.99 per month for basic WIFI, but with COX, who has no low income program, I'm forced to pay $44.99 per month for basic WIFI.

    If you can, avoid Cox Communications at any and all costs. I unfortunately can't, as my only other choice is DirecTV and I won't get involved with them. The equipment COX uses is for the most part outdated, very weather sensitive, and not always reliable. This was told me by a supervisor who was at my home repairing my internet outage, which is at least once a week. When you call customer care, you either get someone who does not fully understand English, or someone who talks over you rather than listen and wait to respond. All promos they have are for 'New' business only and rarely do they tell you or offering anything unless pushed to long term clients.

    Also check your bill closely. Has a habit of creeping up a few cents here and there almost every other month, without proper explanation. Their out is always Government Taxes and Fees. Do they have any clue a pandemic is going on, but more to the point, do they even care?? Highly doubtful on both counts. If you have a choice other than DirecTV, use it.

They don't keep track of what they promise how the payments will be. I have the E-mails to prove what discounts they had originally provided, they seem to lose them a month later with new increased service bill.

    The only sad part, Cox is the only provided in my area, its a monopoly here in San Diego. Slow service and the overbilled with promises of some kind of a promotion they lose ten days later. And the internet keeps dropping off often. Customer service personnel are becoming rude. I had to cancel TV Service. And just keep the spotty internet.

Also, the previous owners cut the lines in the crawl space. (Craw space is very large). I called for a Cox Tech to fix the issue. First Tech said Cox has a third party that will do the work and set up an appointment for me. The Second Tech said that Cox doesn’t uses a third party and I should call an electrician. Electrician told me he can’t touch Cox’s wires and to reset up an appointment with Cox.

    The final Cox appointment was interrupted by an area electrical outage for 10 minutes. The Tech could not work on anything with the power out. The Third Tech said to reschedule for later in the day which he verified of an opening. The Tech moved on to the next appointment. When I called Cox Dispatcher I was told that nothing was available. 4 attempts with no apologies or attempts to rectify the situation. To sweeten the pain I had to pay $300 to close my account.

I signed for them because of the good deal I was offered otherwise I would have gone to other providers. Not even loyalty manager can help me reduce my rate back to how it was or waive the ETF to look for a better deal. So now, instead of keeping me as a customer and look into waiving ETF so they can sign me up for a new bundle to help me reduce my bill, they didn't offer that rather they'd rather steal $100 ETF from me and lose me as a customer.

So she says she can get me a price of 253.46 including tax and gives me a credit of 16.59 which is a partial month charge for the contract that expired and tells me to take that much off this bill and not pay it. So I ask her about the charge for what I didn't pay last month and she says she can't help me as I owe that even if they told me not to pay it. So I asked if next month they will come back and bill me for the 16.59 she has just told me not to pay? Because that is exactly what happened this month.

    When the internet is working, it's usually going at a fast, steady pace. That's the caveat though... it has to be working. At least 2 to 3 times per week on average, there's no internet. The time before this current 8+hour outage, the internet stopped working on Thursday (4 days ago). After holding on the phone for 22 minutes, I was told a technician would hopefully be at my home Monday to look at the problem. Monday!? Is their bill reduced to reflect the numerous outages? Of course not. That would be ridiculously fair and would indicate a smidgeon of integrity. One never has to worry about being treated in a manner that could reveal that dreaded "I" word (integrity).

    Cox appears resolute in its stance against ever working under the veil of honesty, fairness or financial integrity. I suppose when your business is as large as Cox, there's no need to make sure customers get what we pay for. In fact, they seem to only ensure that customers never get what we pay for. It would be the same as ordering a burger, fries and a drink at a fast food restaurant. You pull up to the first window and pay, then you proceed to the next window to receive your order. The woman opens the window and hands you a note that reads: "Dear customer, we're sorry but we do not currently have any food at this location. Please return in 2 days to place your order again, pay again and we'll let you know after paying if we have any food at that time. Thank you, chump. What are you gonna do about it anyway?

    I’ve had Cox cable/internet since college (15+ years). I realized it was more expensive than other providers but there was initially convenience and familiarity each time I moved so I stuck around. Over the past few years, cost and needing repair services has increased considerably. I was frustrated but talked myself into staying with Cox.

    Recently (9 days ago), my cable service was interrupted and the initial repairman was unable to fix it (5 days after it stopped working). I was given an “expedited, high priority” ticket number and was told later that day the guy nearby would come to fix it even if I was gone. That was 4 days ago. Each day I’ve called to ask where we were at/when is a tech coming/why hasn’t anyone contacted me etc. Each time I was given bland, ambiguous responses and apparently no one knows anything about anything even with a ticket number. When I called today the representative said he didn’t show anyone scheduled to help me. I asked why no one had conceded that and fixed it days ago when I called in and he didn’t know.

    I asked for the loyalty department and explained my frustration. The loyalty representative was hardly present and once again had no idea what I should expect. I told him I don’t need an appointment from him - I needed him to convince me to stay as customer paying 270$/month after getting pushed around, ignored, avoided, and insulted. I said if you don’t want to do that please transfer me to a supervisor or someone that will... he said okay and hung up. I called back and was disconnected again. Pretty awful.

    I received a another rate increase on my May bill. By the way, Cox will go up on your bill 2-4 times a year. I called on 5/19 to cancel my service and was disconnected after going through 15 mins worth of prompts. I called back on 5/22 and after being on the phone another 30 mins the girl took my bill back down to under the original amount. She said I will have all the same channels and said it would be reflected at cox.com in 24-48 hrs. I was unbelievably happy. I received a bill reminder on 5/26 and it was for the original amount. The bill had not been reduced. I called AGAIN and AGAIN was on hold for almost 20 mins.

    When the Cox employee answered she was extremely rude from the start, which automatically put me on the defensive as I had already spent so much time trying to get this resolved already. She reviewed notes and then began to exclaim in an obnoxious tone how there is no way the girl could have taken my bill down to $158 (her exact words and I had not mentioned to her the amount it was taken down to). I was set back by her rudeness and asked for a supervisor. She said she had one available but was not going to bother her with this as I owe the $180 my bill went up to originally and hung up on me.

    I called back, spent another 12 mins on hold and Daniel came on, I explained what had just happened and asked for a Supervisor. Daniel said he was a Supervisor and said he would look through the notes. After another 10-12 mins he came back on the phone and said he couldn't find anywhere it shows my bill had been reduced. I asked for all my calls from May to be pulled and reviewed. He said he would put in the request and would email me in 24-48 hrs with a time he will be calling me back. I never heard from Daniel so I called Cox AGAIN on 6/1.

    Waited on hold for 12-15 mins AGAIN. I explained everything AGAIN and the Cox employee said there was no request for calls to be pulled and no notes on calling me back from Daniel. He said he will put in the request for review and call back. Today is 6/2. I am still waiting on a call back. I am filing a complaint with my Attorney General and also with my Senators. If you use Cox services, you will experience this also. Just read all the reviews from everywhere on the internet. I can't believe our government lets Cox get by with their shady business practices.

    For over a month, we have had technical issues with several cable channels. It is affecting CNN, Fox News, Food Network, BET, MTV - and I have not finished checking all channels. Finally reported the issue 3 weeks ago. I was talked into buying the inside wiring coverage in case the problem was with my televisions or wiring. Once the technicians came out, they said they would not be able to come inside due to Covid, which makes sense, but it does not make sense that I was talked into that "premium" service option. I was told I'm committed to paying for it for 3 months minimum. Two technicians have been here, and they have said that the issue is in the line to the street and that it was escalated to another department. On May 14, I was given a prorated credit for each day I did not have complete service which was $47.

    Today is May 29, and the issue is still not resolved. First I called tech support, and they told me my ticket was closed on May 13. When I had called to get the credit, they told me the ticket was still open. So this does not make sense. The tech support today set up a new appointment for someone to come out today. Basically, they are starting from scratch. I then was transferred to billing in order to get an additional credit. Today they are saying (and I escalated to a supervisor) that since I have some service, the most they will do is give me a $20 courtesy credit. The country is rioting and the world is sick, and I can't watch either news channel. This company does not care about their customers or the quality of their service. I've been looking for alternatives and the only thing I can do at this point is cut the cable cord. So disgusted with how I was treated today.
