If you can avoid! Paying over 300.00 for the top wifi and can’t run 2 tv’s and cellphones off the wifi. Call customer service and their solution is restart! There is an outage at least twice a week. They don’t offer any other cable services in this area. Avoid if you can!

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 signed up for home internet and mobile. They gave me the wrong speed, and refuse to give me the internet discount since I signed up for mobile. Bad company, with unnecessary data caps and bad service; with a monopoly in the area.

I came out this morning and found one of Cox Cables distribution lines was about 2' off the ground where people could trip on it. I opened a chat with them about their cable problem and it took ~1 hr to get them to schedule a tech to come out and look at it, but it will not happen for a day. They clearly do not care if anyone gets injured from their cable being at trip height and made me spend way too much time flagging their problem.

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.

I switched to COX and they were supposed to have a higher speed. Their customer service is terrible. I keep getting outages in my area, and then when it goes back up the WIFI is super slow. I tried to call COX to ask about a different Wi-Fi device and because there are intermittent outages the COX phone system says they can't help and hangs up on me. I want to talk to them about the WIFI device. Since I've switched to COX it has affected my work as I work from home, and to add insult it's twice as expensive and I can't get any support.

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.

I ordered COX internet, set up installation and was excited for new services! The installation day came and went. No one showed up. No one even called to let me know anything. I reached out through the chat they have and was told, "We will let your technician know." No one called. I rescheduled and yet again, no one showed up. I honestly do not even know what to say. I called back and asked if they can give me a discount or incentive to follow through with my order. The reply: "Before we can provide anything you need to start services!!!" I had a very negative experience and decided not to go with COX.

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.

I’m not actually a COX customer- Thank god! In the last 3 months I’ve been receiving my sisters, my parents and the gentleman who bought my last home 5 years ago bills to my email account. At the bottom of the bill it states, “If you received this email in error, please contact Cox at 800-234-3993.” I did just that, spent 15 minutes with 2 “lovely” and very customer oriented individuals who told me there’s nothing that can be done. They went on to tell me the listed account holder would have to had provided my email address for me to receive their bill and only they can remove it. Interestingly enough, those individuals haven’t been receiving their monthly bill. Way to go Cox. I see nothing has changed since I chose a new provider 5 years ago.

So, since BEFORE the storm on Tuesday (the Tornado that hit Parma), the service has been in & out & I work from home. I can't have this. They are supposed to be putting fiber over here, which I am patiently waiting so I can leave Cox. My internet has was back working since the storm, but back out again. When I talk to the rep, who I could barely understand, first he said there were "outages" in my area, when I went off on their ability to handle a little wind (again, AFTER the storm), he then put me on hold again for 10th time, only to come back and tell me, it is interrupted because they are building it to make it more reliable...huh? We're making it worse, so you can enjoy it better! Did I hear that right? Cox is truly THE worst internet service that is surprisingly one of the largest. As SOON AS AT&T gets fiber here, I-AM-OUT!!!! They should be tired of giving out credits. Also, we all should consider a Class Action Suit, just saying.

Unfortunately the cost of my service continues to escalate by an appreciable amount annually, and unfortunately the service I am provided continues to de-escalate, as it gets worse and worse as time goes on. 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. Total time spent on the phone was just shy of 1 hour! And part of the problem is that as I was transferred from one unknowing to another (I believe I spoke to 5 different people), only the final person spoke clear English, the earlier ones were not understandable, as they barely spoke english, and this is a big time problem with many company's support staff.

Not a good service. I have 500 mbps and 500gb a month. I have to call Cox every two weeks cause all of a sudden my Xbox won’t connect but everything else will. When I call them they fix it but why do they keep making me have to do that. Now I’m trying to call and they say there is a outage in my area but if there was an outage in my area and that no one can speed it up? Then why will my t.v pull up Netflix or Hulu or YouTube. My phone works with cellular turned off showing WiFi signal. They just don’t want to deal with their CUSTOMERS. Imagine that. A company with very bad customer service. They suck but it’s monopolized so we can’t do anything about it. They are the only internet around so they hike the prices and lower the service.

Absolute garbage. I moved out of my last apartment on May 30, but then got billed for June and July. My account's been closed, but my card got auto-billed regardless, and I’ve now called about 5 times (separate days, each call a long obnoxious experience of being passed like a hot potato to various departments, having to re-explain my issue to each new person)… Several official requests for refunds of my stolen money submitted… All subsequently denied by management with no satisfactory explanation, prompting a new call. Cox literally just billed me for months I was no longer living there, the internet box UNPLUGGED… Stole my money and refuses to refund me. Insult to injury, I get an exhausting frustrating runaround every time I try to address it. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Terrible experienced, everyone should boycott this company. I only spoke to one person that was nice, one out of 6, that is horrible, they should not do the job if they hate it so much. We tried to get cable and told us they would be at my mom's house today, nobody ever called then later I chatted with someone online and they said she had to pay for installation when nobody ever told us that, nobody in this company knows what they are doing, nobody notates the account to read the last comments.

Cox is fine until you need something and then their customer service is impossible to deal with.

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. Cox Internet excels only in delivering disappointment and disservice.

My mother passed away in March. Within 5 days, I had contacted Cox to let them know about her death and returned the equipment as instructed. Her account was given a small credit for her overpayment. Two months later, a bill came to her address for $30. I called Cox to straighten this out. 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. Cox is making the decision to pursue a $30 charge on my mom's account even though she has passed away. It really is a terrible company.

So let's talk about how horrible this company is when a customer passes away. I'm trying to help my younger brother in the wake of his mother passing away and I needed help switching some information on the account as well as politely asking if it would be possible to waive the last month's charges as the customers (my brother and stepmom) were understandably not at home. As someone with about a decade of customer service experience, I really thought this would be easy. Not at all. The first customer service agent was not even listening and asked if my stepmother could "come to the phone". When I spoke to a supervisor, she told me that I had to go to a store and it was likely they were not going to help at all with waiving a charge but "Cox is there for their customers". You guys are ghouls and I hope you have these same difficulties when trying to navigate a loved one's death. Grow a soul.

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!

I currently only use Cox for Internet and Mobile their Internet speeds are great and reliable. However please be aware of a typical sales representative they have name Victor **. When I switched my internet service to my new home address he told me 2 inaccurate pieces of information that nobody at Cox Communications did anything about. The first thing he said that the modem would be free and that I would receive a $100 gift card. Well I never received the gift card and I am now being charged a $15 a month rental modem fee. 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. What I wasn't told is that there is an overage fee for additional gig of data you use. So I am going to be charged $32 tomorrow just for Cox Mobile alone.

This is the worst wifi I’ve ever experienced. The customer service is awful and they either don’t know how to do their jobs or are waiting to screw people over. Some people pay $40 for the same exact wifi that other people are paying $100 for. And if you do cancel, they deactivate your account immediately so you can no longer access your proof of payment history and then make you repay $300 for a router that you have already paid for saying “sorry you have no proof you paid it because you can’t access your account.” My husband paused our wifi, paying $10 every month, while on deployment for 8 months. How did they repay him? By canceling his wifi subscription for no reason, not refunding his money, telling him not to return the router that he had been paying monthly for, and then months later they come after him with a $300 charge to repay for the router again. They are absolutely awful people.

What a total rip off! Back in April 2023 I called COX to cancel the service. Years into the service I noticed they continue to charge me for service stating I had a contract, I later found out there was no contract or need for their terrible service. My mother pass on April 2023 therefore I try to cancelled and they stated no problem and they continue to charge her estate until now. So basically, they can choose to charge you whatever they wish and for the longest time if you don’t catch it, we were out the $950.00. A total rip-off.

What a total rip off! If you have any service through COX I advise you to check your bill with on their website or on your paper bill. I was getting a paperless bill since I first started service with COX. I would simply pay the bill and move on. Two years into the service I noticed they were charging me with a Homelife service I was not using or authorized them to put on my account. After I called Cox to discuss this issue, they told me even even though the service was not provided to me since December 2021, I am only due two month reimbursement. So basically they can choose to charge you whatever they wish and if you don’t catch it, you were out the money.

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. Will be looking for another option for my mom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Then they hit me with a $100 in person service fee that I was NEVER told about and no one ever needed to come out here in the first place. Their customer service would only give me a credit of $30 on my account which turned out to be $26.

This company does nothing but rip me off. They don't understand that people can't always afford this stupid fees and fail to notify people when a fee is going to occur. I think calling your customers liars is very insulting and is a poor business practice. Failing to help when the customer is struggling shows no sense of compassion nor good customer service. I will be leaving a poor review for this company as I've had NOTHING but issues with the company for many years. This company does right by its new customers, but loyal customers get crapped on in every way possible.
I am a struggling healthcare worker putting my life on the line for the public and this company can't even excuse $40 they are stealing from me so I can feed my child. This is horrible service and this company needs to be ashamed of itself for treating its customers like a paycheck rather than real people. Simply inexcusable and a disgrace of a company. Thank you for the absolute worst experience with a company I have ever experienced.

I have had Cox for 6 years now and unfortunately, they are the ONLY service provider in my area. Every year at the end of the year, I have to call them several times to try to resolve a billing issue where my bill suddenly goes up (without warning) $50. Every year, they send me to the customer loyalty department and work with me to get my bill back to what it was. It is good for a month and then suddenly, my bill skyrockets again and I have to call them. This year was the same things. They fixed it, but didn't tell me they removed a feature I use often. I called them back and they were able to reduce back down to almost what it was with an additional $13. One month went by and it was fine. Got my bill again, and it is back up to over an additional $50. No consistency or honesty about their services or what they are really doing. 6 years I have had to deal with this. No integrity.

Signed up for Cox Internet and TV to go in our new home. Five days after setting up the internet a service technician disconnected our cable at the main junction box "on accident." We have now gone an additional FIVE days with no internet or TV due to their own error and they are in no hurry to send anyone out to correct their mistake even after six calls to their service department.
Like many these days, my job is 100% reliant on internet access and I am unable to work due to their error, but they don't care and just keep giving the same scripted speech about how we have to wait our turn while they carry on with other appointments until they can "eventually" get someone out here. Absolutely horrific service! Any company that has any true sense of customer service would have gone out of their way to send the technician back out to immediately correct the error they caused.

They are lying and playing with me. The sales representatives are dumb and totally untrained. They cannot see the need for me to order a technician to come by for the installation of my modem. I was advised that this is the case by talking to three customer support "specialists". I scheduled an appointment. However, despite that, they are "trying" to accommodate my free time with the availability of the techs, at some point they rescheduled twice my appointment. The first time they even did not bother to send me an email. It was an act of revenge, since I was so pissed that Cox does not have any integrity-doing what they claimed will do.

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 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.

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. *****

Cox USA dependable company. You can usually even talk with a human if you like I use the online help. It is easy to get to and explanations are way to get too. The the direction/instructions are in easy to understand Layman words.

Frequent dropped service often blamed on user error and request to reconnect modem. 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.

Living here in Las Vegas, COX is the only one better to have and their WIFI Internet is very reliable. Although the prices they have are expensive and so every 6 months or so I call their Loyalty Dept. If they have any good deals. I always suggest that prices for Retired Seniors including Veterans should be affordable.

Solid stable internet vs others/home land line good/higher cost than others and very frequent constant price increases/fair customer service - on site techs are good and are very knowledgeable and friendly.

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.

Current cost is a bit high so I am looking at most TV streaming services, AT&T, DISH, Google TV, YouTube TV... Looking for local channels, movies, BritBox, HGTV without having to take on the cost of channels I rarely, or never watch.

Unreliable service and the DVR service which is third party is awful. It’s always going down, and the internet service is not as good as its advertising. The DVR service which is an extra charge is not time synced to real time. The service either starts recording too late or it ends too early.

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. It shouldn't be its high as it is and they need to be working better to improve WI fi Internet in those type of things so that people are not having to buffer all the time.

I moved 7 miles and they raised my bill 25%. It took hours on the phone with Cox reps and 4 Tech visits to get the system working. They allegedly sent a tech to check my condo building but when the system didn't work they send another tech who found that they had data filter on the incoming line. TV didn't work, internet and landline didn't work for over 2 weeks. Landline didn't work for over 2 months; they kept resetting it. Now periodic outages of TV. If I had another choice I would switch companies.

They always raising the bill. Constantly have to call to fix. Getting really old. There's nothing even one to watch. Most cable companies are money hungry and always trying to rip off the consumer.

Just got service. Fair monthly payment, helpful customer service employees and can rate after a few months of service. I previously worked for Cox and was a happy employee. So be fair I would need service longer to give a fair opinion.

Very happy with Cox. Always willing to assist me when I have an issue about something. The technicians are well trained and eager to assist. I have been a customer for 20+ years....and would never consider changing. Friends of mine have other companies and are always complaining. I have nothing to complain about...Very satisfied with Cox.

Good service but again price was increased. In this economic environment it is not easy to continue service. Basic internet and tv are almost double the introductory promotion which I think is not fair.
