I was a customer for many years. When I was moving out of state, I scheduled my service to be disconnected on a certain day, the day I was moving. I also returned my equipment the same day. I was current on my bill, and my final bill should have been pro-rated for the 11 days of my final service. That’s not Cox’s policy I guess, they charged me for more than a full month. After speaking to 3 different people, my bill was not rectified. I have to pay $284 for 11 days of service, or have it go on my credit. Scam artists!

I contacted all of my Utilities companies including Cox the moment I realized that we would be under stay at home orders because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The customer service assured me that they would make a payment arrangement for outstanding balance that I had because my business was forced to close and I have not yet received a Unemployment check or a stimulus Cares Act check. I have money and I had always Paid my bills on time.
Cox turned off my service and I just got my Unemployment processed today after call the Las Vegas office 200 times a day with no response. Today I called Cox to arrange to make payment and they told me that to turn my service back on I would need to pay the full balance. They would not even give me a payment arrangement and they added interest and fee to the bill. Disgusting low life company and I will never do business with them again. What kind of company does this to hard working people. I am writing a letter to the Mayor to complain, FCC and the Governor. We need to get this company shut down and get more competitive companies to do fair and honest business. These people don’t deserve our business. Down with Cox.

Anyone that has been having internet and cable issues with Cox Cable in the greater Phoenix area, please be aware that Cox has been upgrading their service for last 4 months and this has been blamed in everything being home during quarantine! This is not the case. Cox is defrauding ever one of their customers in the Phoenix area by having everyone pay for full service while supplying less than 10 Megabytes per second (Mbps) of download data, when paying for 150 Mbps. Which means I and probably you are only receiving 6% of what you are paying for. This is legal theft!!

I needed internet service due wanting to work from home, the virus has a lot of layoffs, and now stuck more at home than ever. In Jan before all this happened, but heard on news what was going to be happening to us soon I saw ad for internet at the fastest speed for 40 a month. I called to ask if that possible. I was told for twelve month promotion for 40 a month. I even got a email in writing before started. My first bill was correct but promise to pay with my then account was hacked and then had to make payment with a new account and change passwords and everything.
Money was taken out my account and being a prepaid not many options. I decided to open real checking account and made the payment. My next and proceeding bills were 110. I spoke and spoke to representatives. Our area is shelter one place, and we are told our service wouldn’t be interrupted. I then went down after finally after a month of filling in unemployment since I was laid off, I went to Cox store since they couldn’t give me my offer and I told I had it in writing. They over the phone said the store could see the email and fix it. I went down to show email and pay my bill in full. I had to wait outside for 25 minutes and it now over 100 degrees outside. I spoke with one person as I try to get the email. He said, "I done talking to you." Even didn’t have a chance to show email. The manager then came up and said couldn’t give the price even had it in writing, and to speak to customer service manager over phone.
I was very upset how I was treated, even I was not in wrong. I would never sign up if I had knew my bill would been that high. Then my service was disconnected before I could call since they was closed since this was after 4pm. Now my service off, I Uber down there for $30, stood in the heat and still Bill not resolved, my service is off and now I have no internet. She didn’t even tell me it was going to be shut off today as we are talking about the account. I really don’t think we as human beings should be put through this drama for a service we are paying for. If you tell us our bill is this amount and then say "Well it was that price only for one month” that was never told to me. That was never said. I asked multiple times and had the email sent. Now it like too bad. It just wrong.

I am also an Xfinity customer and was delighted when they offered select free additional premium channels for a limited time period understanding that many were at home observing stay at home orders due to the coronavirus. When I got back to Rhode Island (and observed a 14 day voluntary quarantine) I immediately called Cox to find out if they were extending a similar offering or providing specials on packages. I was met with a resounding NO.
I was informed if I wanted any additional channels I would have to pay. So to have added entertainment during this period where we must stay at home I am in a position to give Cox extra money... yes, at a time when our income is suffering from reductions. Thank you Cox for your generosity!!! Register me as a very disappointed long time customer. We are all doing our part. This shows a definite lack of customer appreciation. I will revisit my options the moment stay at home is lifted and shop for other cable options.

I have used Cox for decades mainly because it has been the most convenient for my needs. I am extremely disappointed that they continually raise my rates and I have to renegotiate. I waited 3 hours yesterday and still didn’t get my issue resolved. Called back today and had to reduce my current service to get a rate similar to what I was paying 3 months ago. It is sad when new customers get better rates and service than loyal customers that have paid regularly and have stayed with the company. I will be researching and looking for a new company. Plus my signal is not what it should be.

Worst cable/internet company I have ever done business with. Incredibly hard to get in touch with, extended call wait times, and service is sub par. Had to call a repair guy to my residence on multiple occasions even though my service was only for six months. When I switched to another provider (due to horrible internet connections/cable outages), they charged me $197 and claimed I did not return a piece of equipment even though everything was returned with a tracking number and in the same box. Poor excuse for a internet and cable company. Should be shut down.

Multiple times, I was quoted one price for a year and 3 months later, the price went up. I'd be billed half way through the billing month. I'd call again and would get a lower price "for a year" and 9 months later, halfway through the billing month, I'd a a substantial increase and have to call again and would be told one of the promotions expired, etc. I went through this for 2 years before finally canceling my TV service. I turned in equipment and now have a $57 charge on my bill for equipment they are saying I did not return, when I have a receipt sitting in front of me clearly showing that I did return it. This is a horrible, dishonest company that, if I had a choice of other providers, I would not deal with.

Cox Cable is the only company in our area, and after a few months with their crappy service the company decided to increase my bill from $112 to $117. Who regulates this company? I didn't sign for a service that a company would charge extra in a sneaky manner over time.

I have been a customer for 20 years and moved 3 months ago to a new home and I have had nothing but problems with both my TV and internet. I have had 8 technicians to my home and spent countless hours on the phone trying to get them to fix their problems. They charged me every month premium prices and like a dummy I paid every month. They have a monopoly so they can just step all over you. They are rude, they interrupt you and talk over you, will not fix the problems (especially Shawn a cox employee # **). Las Vegas and other communities need to stand up and stop monopolies because they can rip you off without consequence. Such a scam...

San Diego Cox Communications. I moved and canceled my service. No problem... or so I thought. I forgot to change my Cox email to a rarely used app. Of course, I just needed it. I couldn't change to a new email... blah, blah. So I called Cox to see if there was some way to access it. Martin answered my call and after hearing me ask if there was some way to access my email. He switches me on hold (without warning). Then I hear him joking with someone. I tell him I can hear him. Again I hear clicking... no sound, then I hear him trying to sell service. I tell him again I can hear him. Click, then no sound. Then HR's back joking with someone. WTH? MEANWHILE I'M ON THE LINE FOR OVER 10 MINUTES! Martin needs some retraining... and Cox needs to think about their phone equipment! For a communications company you would think they had good equipment for themselves. Grade of F.

I live in Chesapeake VA and our Cox cable will go silent at random times throughout the day lasting an hour at a time. I contacted Customer Service and they did not fix the issue and gave me a $10 credit. I pay over $200 a month for this service. What is a $10 credit going to do for me when over 50% of the time I can't actually watch the TV with sound. Extremely overpriced cable. I will be switching as soon as possible.

We had a high wind, 60mph rain storm here in Norfolk Virginia on 2/08/20 and for 7 days straight I've been complaining about the service having erratic speeds all over the place. I pay 95.00 for 300/30 service and now get wild swings especially on upload from 5 to 30 when it is supposed to be 30 solid. Every day I call I get put through the same routine, constantly saying/asking how old is the modem, how old is the router, even though they are premium and new... Constantly trying to sell you equipment... When finally it always turns out to be line problems. They have been in this area since the storm twice trying to fix what is to this date... Still broken, always blaming or trying to sell you a router, modem, or especially a 10.00 a month repair service coverage plan... Look fix the problem... This company is pulling some shady sales and service tactics, avoid them.

I have had DirecTV for years. My father in-law moved in with us and said he wanted Cox since he’s old. He didn’t want to learn anything new. We called to order cable and internet. I asked if they broadcast in 4K like Direct she said yes, then someone else got on the phone and said, "I don’t know." I still don’t know.. I wanted the best, latest and greatest fastest. She was supposed to call me back. Never did. I called her several times. Never called me back. Finally I just ordered from someone else. Still don’t know about 4k. Also speed says gig but it’s not. One said I need fiber. The other said no. So I don’t know. I pay for it but only get around 300. Received Contour box and router guy hooked it all up with Homelife. Didn’t know how everything worked. Smart bulb is broken still.
Watching recorded programs errors out, picture stutters, blurry, sound drops etc. We are afraid to fast forward. It may get stuck or no sound for a min. Might even error out. Pause your show? It will start after a couple mins in the background or some old program you were watching behind the screen saver. Cox is the worst! They have encouraged me to explore cord cutting and dumping the whole thing. Do not go with Cox. Better to get an antenna on your home and share your internet from your phone. Worst cable ever.

I went to Cox.com to purchase new internet & cable services for a home I am moving into in a week. After 2 hours of live chat help to get my order to go through, with gigablast internet I was prompted to call into a live agent to complete my order. They said gigablast is not available in my area for 3 weeks because fiber optic cable is required. I said, "Let's go with the basic cable until then". The live agent then told me no internet is available because it requires fiber optic cabling. She lied. I said, "That is not true. The location I am in right now has Cox cable and does not have fiber optic cabling". She ignored me and lied again. Then said in the meantime I cannot start my bundled service offer until cable & internet are both installed, which is a $110/month difference. So first a bait & switch, then flat out providing & doubling down on false information, while offering zero other solutions. Good luck to anyone else that has to have Cox!

So we have Cox telephone and internet service at our home. We were really having a problem with our home internet and called for service. Since I know little bit about router and modem, I advised the tech to change the modem. He didn't listen and change some kind of filter on their line. Well, problem didn't get solved and I called again and 2nd time the technician changed the router and problem got solved. But guess what, today I found out they have charged me an extra $75.00 on top of my regular bill. I called Oklahoma residential customer service and wanted an explanation, Well the representative said for technician to come there now they charge a fee!
Can you believe this? I pay every month 10.00 for the router to have exactly what? Can you believe this. This is a scam business. I asked the representative and she said this is a new rule. New rule for what? If their router has some kind of problem then why should I pay for technician to have it changed? This is ridiculous. I am going to change my service at home and Cox can cheat people all they want! This is sad that there is no more honesty in the business.

So when moving here in 2005 I contacted Cox for services. Kept them for 2 years and then canceled due to apartment complex not allowing them to do service at their complex. Anyhow moved and got a different service. Cox begged me and conned me with a $200.00 dollar gift card. Upon going back to their company they promised me that I would only pay $120.00 for the entire time in which I would be with them. Well they lied, the 1st month yes $120.00 then 2 months later, $133.00, 2 months later $145.00. My bill has gone up to $255.00 a month. I refuse to pay this company almost $300.00 dollars to look at TV, they do this thinking we need them.
I have decided to go with Sling, Hula or anyone else for $40.00 bucks and get internet for $40.00 bucks a month than to pay these people $300.00 dollars. I hope everyone would cancel their services with this company so that they can file bankruptcy and go out of business. This is so unfair and unacceptable how they prey and treat customers. They are at home looking at TV for free and treating paying customers any kind of way that they want thinking since this is a necessity they can take advantage, well sorry COX you will not be getting any more monies from this person.

Advice, when considering TV cable service, take your time and explore other options first, Netflix, or other cheaper svcs first, if you sign up for cable/TV svc with these shysters and dont keep the service for 2yrs, you're charged a hefty $250 or more cancellation fee, also outlandish Bills, that will forever increase, buyer beware.

I had Cox Communications basic cable in West Warwick Rhode Island. It was $41 a month but my package came with zero cable channels. All of the channels were basic antenna TV from around the nation. The last month of service the cable box didn't work half the time. All the channels were very boring. After 11 months of dealing with this fake cable company.

Cox has so far been a horrible experience. We initially signed up for internet only. $108 for what I would call basic internet for minor streaming and internet access. Then we added cable for what was supposed to amount to 154 with the bundle. First bill was $451!!! We went ahead and paid out to a zero balance after repeated call ins and chats with representatives, after being clearly advised that it would be 154 monthly moving forward. They still have not come out to bury the cable lines that are strewn across the front yard three months later. I called to inquire when that would be done. They did a service request for that only to have someone come out and say that they do not handle that and they they would send someone else out to do it. Then charged me another $55 for that!!!! Just got out next bill for 265!!! This has been a horrible experience. I would not recommend to anyone looking for cable or internet to do business with them.

This review is based on Cox Cables failure to honor or abide by their own promotional pricing. At the time of this writing I’m sure my account with Cox Cable has been or will be turned over to collections and this is yet another attempt to straighten out my account with Cox Cable for being charged an early termination fee of $170 plus tax.
Beginning in January 2019 through April 2019 I received a total of four promotional mailings from Cox Cable advertising “Best. Offer. Ever. Great price. 3 years.” This promotion advertised that “You deserve peace of mind when it comes to your monthly bill. Know exactly how much your going to pay for the next 3 years.” “Take advantage of our best offer ever.” “Until 2022 with no contract”. The promotion included “Free Equipment Rental. No Contract.” “Stable pricing. No annual contract. Includes FREE pro install, FREE Panoramic WIFI Modem rental and FREE HD receiver rental”.
In March of 2019 my tv/internet contract with AT&T was up and I thought that it would be the perfect time to try Cox Cable since I did not know how much longer I would be at my residence in Oceanside CA. I felt that the promotion offered by Cox Cable couldn’t have come at a better time. Biggest mistake I’ve ever made.
As advertised I could sign up for this promotion either by calling (855) 816-7384 or online at cox.com/best offer. I signed up online and chose the Internet Preferred & Contour TV advertised at $114.99 per month. I did opt to add two mini set top boxes for a rental fee of $2.99 each per month bringing my monthly charges to $120.97 monthly before taxes. I took screenshots of the order showing the cost before taxes as well as the promotional information. Upon receipt of my first bill dated March 6, 2019 my services with Cox Cable had been bundled with a 24 month agreement. In addition I was charged for the “FREE Pro Install, the FREE Panoramic WIFI Modem as well as the FREE HD Receiver rental”.
I called Cox Communications immediately and voiced my concerns with the charges. I spoke with three separate Cox representatives and although the charge for the pro install would be removed none of the Cox Cable service representatives I spoke with had any clue as to what promotion I was talking about. I was told that a request would be put in to review the account and/or promotion and to wait until the next billing period.
Upon receipt of the second bill the charge for the pro install was removed however the charges for the equipment rental remained the same as well as bundled with a 24 month agreement. Month after month the bill remained the same... all services bundled, a 24 month agreement and charges for the Panoramic WIFI modem rental and the Contour HD receiver rental.
Eventually I went into the Cox Solutions storefront with copies of my screenshots, a copy of my first bill as well as the promotional mailings. I spoke with Carolina who was a “Solution Specialist”. Once again this person had no clue with regards to the promotion I signed up for. She told me that the charges were correct whether bundled or unbundled. She said that the only problem was that my services were bundled with a 24 month agreement. She took copies of all my documentation and said that she would submit a request to have my services unbundled and to once again wait until the next bill. Ironically, I received the fourth promotional advertisement from Cox Cable in the mail when I returned home after speaking with Carolina at the Cox Solutions store.
After receiving yet another incorrect bill, being fed up and frustrated I called Cox Cable on September 23, 2019 and canceled my services. I spoke with Mark. In all my dealings with Cox Cable since March of 2019 through October 9, 2019 Mark was the only representative with Cox Cable that I spoke with who was familiar with the promotion which I had signed up for. Mark said that it was actually cheaper to have the services bundled and that if I were billed correctly with the promotion I would have paid $5.00 more per month. It was more important to me that Cox Cable stand behind their promotional mailing, unbundle my services, no contract and no fees for equipment rental than to be concerned over $5.00. Mark did say that I most likely would be charged with an early termination fee and would I consider keeping Cox Cable if he gave me one month free.
I also received an email from Cox Cable offering me 40% off certain services for one year if I would reconsider coming back to Cox. I declined because from day one I was being charged for something I did not sign up for which had been brought to Cox Cables attention numerous times since receipt of the first bill.Knowing that I was required to return all equipment within 30 days of cancellation I used Cox Connect to communicate online with a Cox representative at which time I asked for a free box as advertised to return the equipment and was advised that I would receive the mailing box within 3-5 days.
As of today’s date November 19, 2019 I have yet to receive that mailing box. Needless to say the last thing I wanted to do was to have to go back into the Cox Solutions store to return the equipment. On October 9, 2019 I returned the equipment to the Cox Solutions store and attempted once again try to solve the issue of the early termination fee. I spoke with Sr. Sales & Operations Specialist; Danielle. I explained the issue, showed her the original four promotional ads received in the mail, copies of my first bill, screenshots of the initial online order as well as all my notes. Danielle did confirm that the request from Carolina to unbundle my services with no contract was submitted but subsequently denied. How can Cox Cable deny their own promotion?
Danielle then proceeded to advise me that if my services were unbundled I would have paid $11.00 more per month. So... would the charges be the same, $5.00 more per month or $11.00 per month? She then reiterated the fact that a person can “make changes to their Cox services without paying an early termination fee within 30 days of your Agreement or 7 days from the date of the bill statement, whichever is later”. Danielle did not acknowledge the fact that I did call upon receipt of my first bill. The Pro installation fee just isn’t removed from your bill by itself. Danielle was very indignant when she asked me why I did not accept the offers for one month free or 40% off certain services for a year. Either way it would still have required a contract or agreement which defeated the sole purpose of my signing up for Cox cable to begin with.
Lastly, Danielle proposed that I meet her “halfway” with the early termination fee. Once again I declined. This entire situation has taken up so much of my time, created a tremendous amount of unnecessary anxiety and frustration and simply could have been avoided had Cox Cable backed up their own promotional advertisements and pricing. If that’s not false advertising then I don’t know what is. For the record and whether my calls were recorded or not I have spoken with the following Cox Cable representatives: John, Jamie, Jenna, Monica, Carolina, Angelica, Mark and Danielle.

We had a rental home we were remodeling and then going to sell. We made it VERY clear our requirements:
2) We would pay for the equipment, so we would own it--with the exception of the router. That we rented, knowing we would pay for it when our contract ended.
It is clear in our e-mails--we have the proof--what we were asking for. When we sold the home and I called to cancel, the representative said I had to pay out the rest of the year's coverage--I had a contract. Of course we did not and asked her to produce it. She couldn't, so that was cleared up. As far as I knew we had paid our account in full. For starters, there was still a month to pay for service that I was unaware of. They could have told me that at the time and would have paid it. I saw it when we received a late fee bill. We paid the month. That is when the 'fun' began. We were told that we were being charged for equipment that wasn't returned. That was the first we were ever informed that there was equipment that was not ours.
However, I found an initial e-mail that clearly states: Your free Homelife Automation base kit includes the Homelife Hub, 1 HD Camera, etc. We paid approx. $800 for additional equipment. The Homelife Hub is one of the parts they say is there property and we did not pay for it. They say it can't be rented. However, if it is stated that it is included in the free Homelite kit, how can it be theirs? There is no * by it, no fine print.
Additionally, I was able to identify the date and the person whom we spoke to. The calls are recorded. A Supervisor said they would listen to it. That was the end of that. Never heard back from them. However, received a Collection Notice and they filed a collections on my credit report. The supervisor I spoke with today, said none of what I said mattered. As far as Cox was concerned, the equipment was written off and my account was sent to collections. This is the first time I have ever written a complaint about a company. It is a horrible feeling to have a big company have me/anyone 'over a barrel and no rights--they have the right to ruin my credit.

I opened an account with Cox in July 2019. They scheduled to do an install and then realized they needed to install a "Tap" on my telephone pole and then began that process. They provided me with a SR ticket number and said it would take 6-8 weeks. I waited patiently then around 8 weeks I called and they said my ticket had been closed and the work was completed... Great so they scheduled another install where you need to stay home and be present. The Tech comes out and says "NO the work has not been completed, I can't do the install. They need a bucket truck." Then I call and they provide me with a escalated ticket number.
6 weeks later and multiple hours on the phone with cox they tell me the ticket was closed again. NO work completed at this time. They send out another tech for him to say the same thing. "Work was not completed. I can't help you." I had the escalation team involved and I asked, "Can we please call the Maintenance department to get some sort of update and why they keep closing the ticket." "NO we cannot call them. We can only communicate by email and by tickets...." which is crazy. We are almost to Thanksgiving and still have no service. NO one seems to know why this is happening. Each time I call I get transferred 5-6 times before someone will actually help me with this ticket. Horrible customer service and clueless employees.

Every year I have to call about my bill increasing by about 25%. I am not under any contract and after I complain they lower it back down to the original price but want to cut back service. The equipment is poor quality. I have to exchange the box myself twice a year. They do not provide any type of surge protection on their cable and have damaged my home stereo equipment twice.

I'm a web developer and it takes an extraordinarily large amount of time for Cox communications (ISP) to propagate the new DNS records making it difficult for my clients when I can't do anything to change it. Even if I change my TTL to 300 (5 minutes) Cox doesn't propagate it quick enough. It's been 24 hours and my clients site is live on Version, AT&T, Sprint, CenturyLink but not Cox communications. It's apparent that either they're either having issues and or configure their DNS servers to cache for long periods regardless of the TTL value.

I was first disappointed with my initial contract. This contract was not explained to me, was not what I wanted, was the wrong price when it showed up on my account and the lady that set me up for the account is “no longer with the company”. I recently called to try and adjust my plan. I was trying to eliminate my cable and home security, which I do not use. I only wanted to keep my 300 mb/s internet.
To my surprise I had a 3-year contract that, if broken would be a $248 charge. And then if I just opened a new internet plan (the same internet I already have), I would need to pay all of the install fees and then my bill would drop from $149 to $119 per month. AT&T was much friendlier and understanding on changing my plan. Unfortunately they were not available in my area. After this nightmare is over I will never sign up for Cox again. The individual in the retention department was very bitter about receiving my phone call. When I would ask if there was anything he could do he just mumbled under his breath “Well you are signed up for the bundle of $149/mo for three years”. It was as if I was talking to a recording.

The only problem is I can tell you that you owe me a million dollars and if you don't agree to it, it isn't a contract. Contracts don't work by declaring that there is one and if the other party doesn't disagree then BOOM it's a contract. Also, I don't even get bills, I'm paperless soooo I'm not sure where this mysterious bill went to? Also a problem with this technique, did you really send it.... Are you just claiming you did?

For the love of god people DO NOT GET COX for anything, look for someone else. They screwed me over so much in the beginning it was ridiculous. First they installed tv and internet. Internet was nowhere near the speeds they promised. I have the Gigablast and was only seeing like maybe 200mbps. So they blamed it being on the original power wire that goes to the box and they will need to replace it. Was told by technician it would take 2 weeks. So I said okay and waited, two weeks came by and people came out to mark utilities etc... But no digging.
Now remember you only have 30 days to cancel. Now they sent out two more technicians and they said there is no problem with my service that they could find and I was only receiving at best 400mbps, they said the power wire should fix this. Now I’m waiting for them to fix the power wire and nothing, I called and called and they said it was scheduled and they will be there but they never showed up numerous days. Also I work nights and when I got home to use my service it was down or super slow every single night. So I ask customer service for a supervisor/manager to come out and they promised me there would be a supervisor to come out next day. So next day comes along and they only sent out another technician. He stated that the power wire needs to be fixed and the order is pending and will take place soon. On top of that I am furious they lied about sending a technician and not manager.
So three days after that the power wire finally gets fixed and I work nights so they did the work I’m the morning. I wake up and test my connection out and nothing changed at all. I was was so furious. I called and went to cancel and I didn’t realize that the day before the power wire got fixed it was my 30 days and I argued over the phone how they haven’t provided the service they promised and they didn’t fix the wire till after my 30 days was up, when it should have only taken two weeks. I spoke to “managers” to ask to just cancel but they wouldn’t help me out in the slightest. So they contact their installers, so I called their manager and explained to him what happened he said he felt terrible and would see what he could do and would call me back. Well he never called back when he said he would.
I called in three to four different times trying to see what they could do to the same manager and his response was always, "I’m waiting on customer service management to see what we could do." On the fourth time he finally told me they could only credit 75.00 (my bill is 200-300 a month) and there is nothing else they could do about disconnecting the services without an early termination fee. So basically I’m stuck with this piece of ** company for 2 years. Please don’t make the same mistake. Literally choose anyone else but them. Plus customer service reps and their managers are very rude and don’t care about the situation at all.

If we downgrade or change any portion of the cable service the phone line gets turned off, even though we continue to be billed and make timely payments. The phone line is connected to our alarm system which means our alarm system does not function when the phone line is down.

However we would be put on a priority list for the next day (think that was bogus) as we called the next day and was told it would be the next day and would cost us $75 for cox to fix their mistake.
And this person passed us up the chain and that person put us on hold and the phone mysteriously the disconnected. Later called back (after calming down) and immediately asked for a supervisor and this person did a better job, ok did the job correctly. However she tried to push us off for two more days. But finally acknowledged we already had an appointment. The customer support people were rude and no help. Looking to switch to directv. The maddening part was there was never an apology for the inconvenience they caused.

I have had very poor service especially with TV, cable and phone here in Omaha, Nebraska and it has become drastically worse in the last few weeks. Working on the computer is like being on old broadband before I lose service all together. TV is totally unwatchable because sound comes and goes every few seconds and the pictures dissolves into pixels or the blue box comes and goes across the screen saying you do not have service over and over. This happen so often that I have turned off the TV most days. I have called so many times and received different reasons every times with no resolution.
Since February my bill went from approximately $155 to $200 and I cannot watch TV and using the computer is like being on broadband if I have service at all. I have to spend extra to have a cell phone because I am disabled and housebound and cannot count on on home phone to call for help in medical emergency. I am not getting what I paid for and I am on medicare.

I have been a customer with Cox, not by choice but because they have a monopoly, for YEARS and my bill gets more and more expensive and the service gets worse. I called after they jacked my price up by $60. I was told 4 different prices and packages from 4 different people. Finally I was told to go into the store to return the cable box and get the "app only" with HBO for $81. Awesome! Good deal! But I get there and the guy in the store has no idea what I am talking about, no notes or communication from the "phone team".
He tells me I have to call and ends the conversation by saying "and all the managers are in a meeting, so nothing I can do" clearly not wanting to help. Ok I call, again I am told that there is no deal, whoever I talked to apparently gave me false information? Everyone is all over the place. Not trustworthy! I hate that I have to have internet from them! I am always searching for another company. If anyone has any suggestions I live in Mesa Arizona.

After 12 months they raised another 10.00. There is 1tb data cap on all internet plans. My service went up to 95.00 just for internet. When I called they told me it will cost more to downgrade. Actually 30mb plan will be 107.00. I will disconnect the service. They have no courtesy & they’re one of the most expensive internet service providers in the world.

I’ve been with Cox Cable since 2012 and the past 3 yrs have been completely unacceptable. When I moved into my new house they shut off my cable/internet service 3 days early and turned it on at my new house AND started charging me when I hadn’t moved in yet. They got all the service orders mixed up so it took 3 trips for the service guys to come out. The last service guy forgot all his tools l. When he returned 30 minutes later he was unable to complete the order because he was only allotted so much time to complete it. He refused to finish the job. Over the years I’ve had inconsistent billing explanations in which they only apologized for and refused to rectify sticking me with an incorrect payment. I had to pay or they would have disconnected my service.
The latest is this weekend. I disconnected my cable and unfortunately have to continue my internet service with them because no one else services my area. I purchased equipment based on what a representative advised and paid a $50 deposit. come to find out I didn't need the equipment and 2 hrs after purchasing it they refused to return my money. After demanding to speak to a superviser he then said it they can only refund via check, not even a credit to my account and the check will arrive 4-6 weeks from now, the equipment l is 2 hrs old!!
The customer service is extremely poor, billing is inconsistent along with price quotes, every rep has a different price quote. It is very unfortunate that they are the only ones that service my area. My daughter is going to school to be a teacher and has online classes. That's why this is soooo important. I only gave them a one star credit to advance to making this complaint. They deserve no stars and it’s too bad they are able to stay in business. No competition so they can do whatever it is they want.

My name is Joanne, I moved into a place in Oceanside, Ca approx. 1 month after previous tenant moved out. She also used Cox, big deal right? No, it is! I ordered my service using my name and social and purchased the 'No Contract' special they were offering, that was my prerequisite otherwise I would have gone w/ the cheaper cable! "No problem", he said (Mike). Bill would be $135 monthly. Then the bill came in the past tenants name and yes her 'social security number' attached. Luckily I'm honest and pay my bills but if not her credit would have been ruined!! I then called Cox. They told me to come down to their office and they would fix the mistake which they said my name was attached to her social. In reality it was in her name all along! I go in and it took forever but now I know it wasn't an easy fix. They were unbeknownst to me setting up a new account altogether.
This time however they did not roll over the same "NO CONTRACT" agreement. Too easy to mention this to me but chose not to, and 10 months later I stumble upon this information, "I am now in a 2 year contract". Now thinking I’m Sure I can call and have this remedied as this ''MUST'' be an ''HONORABLE'' company who's ''WORD MUST'' be their ''HONOR''. No such luck and no apology for their mistake, no recording of the original phone call, nothing! They win, I lose for now (I will say). They said they can honor a no contract but I will have to pay the extra price for 10 months as the special in October was different in November when I noticed ''THEY'' made the mistake!!
The price is the same to just get out of contract and go to a different company which out of principal I should do. I told them that the Better Business Bureau needs to be notified and what about the past tenant who still has no idea but could she/should she ''sue'' them for such negligence in carelessly misusing her social. Now wondering if others are telling the same story, seems to be a well crafted way to make extra money for this already known ''Monopoly'' that sucks us dry even though It would behoove them to keep their few customers who haven't left them to take advantage of the cheaper ''streaming'' option! SHAME ON COX, I was mistaken. I actually believed you were better than AT&T, now I don't!!!
Reason I wanted no contract is I possibly need to move to another state where Cox does not exist and now to save my credit I will have to pay these scammers and by the way I reminded them how us Americans already have to pay to watch our backs from the many scammers out there but never should we have to worry about a supposed legitimate US company!!!! QUESTION EVERYTHING! Even though that's what I did and they still won for now, In my line of work we take care of the customer so they keep coming back and tell their friends. Dear Cox, I am a single Mom (working 2 jobs 60hrs a week) w/ a disabled child who enjoys TV as a distraction to dealing w/ an awful reality, I struggle to pay for what I feel is important but to have you screw me over and then not fix your own mistake since you train your employees, (not me) then shame on you for making me pay for your mistakes!!!

My bill just got bumped another $30 and I got a lot of double talk from them about why I had such a great deal and any reduction in the package would only be more expensive. Their goal is simply to trap customers and extract higher cash flow from them over time. Until 7 years ago I would have given them 5 stars, now 2 stars. Does the price reflect the value? At this point I really feel the price is not worth it, and is probably more connected to increasing executive pay and profits. What is more, is that I can only see this getting worse.

I have unfortunately been a customer of Cox for a little over a year. It has a monopoly over my apartment building so it is the only company that I can use down here. Firstly, I called Cox wanting only Internet. The man I spoke to stated that he was throwing basic cable in ''for free.'' When my first bill came and was more than what I discussed with the first gentleman, I called Cox to talk about my charges. It was told to me that I was not considering taxes and fees of the bundle. I stated that all I wanted was Internet, again for the second time, and that it appeared cheaper than what I was paying. I was then told that internet by itself would be more expensive than the bundle at this point because I ''accepted'' a bundle as a first-time customer.
Now, one year later, my bill increased by 12 dollars per month without warning or notice. I call Cox to discuss this issue and they state that my discounts fall off after a year (not disclosed to me) and that again, Internet by itself would be more expensive. I have never felt more strong-armed into purchasing a product that I did not want. I love my apartment, but I cannot wait to move out of my apartment so that I never have to be a Cox customer ever again.

This is not only a dishonest company but as a user, you will have no recourse. They can make any claim they want and they won't listen to reason. Here's why I say this: I signed a year contract with Cox. I'm a 55 year old man. My wife is about the same age. We use data occasionally but certainly don't sit around binge watching high def streams. In our first month, we used our internet and Cox showed us using about 350 GB of data. It seemed unusually high but far less than the 1 TB limit so I didn't give it another thought. The next month, we did nothing different and suddenly Cox claimed that we used 1812 GB of data and told us that we'd have to pay a fine for overage. They also urged us to shell out an additional $50 to get unlimited data and avoid overage fees. Sound like a scam to you? It did to me. So I decided to investigate.
I looked at the daily usage and couldn't believe my eyes. For about the first 5 days, usage was in the 2-12 GB range. Then it suddenly jumped to 25 GB or more. On one day Cox claimed that we used 192GB in a single day. That's 24 hours of 4k viewing! WHAT?! There's not 24 hour worth of 4k video WORTH viewing. On another occasion, where we did zero streaming for two days - now we'd gone over the 1 TB limit and didn't want an even bigger fine. We did nothing but browse the internet, which uses only MB of data. On those two days, Cox claimed that we used 161 GB and 165 GB of data. That was absolutely impossible!!!
I called to ask about it and to explain how ridiculous those numbers were. The first person said that he would have to escalate it to a level 1 technician. I talked to the level 1 person and she said she'd have to escalate it to a level 2. I talked to the level 2 person - who seemed like he'd rather do anything but talk to another human being - and he just said "that's what our meter says". Uh, yeah, I know Captain Obvious! That was why I was calling. I tried to get him to use his brain and think about the monstrous amount of data that 192 GB is in one day but he refused. He said that he'd have to escalate it to a level 3 person. I never heard back from anyone from Cox and an extra $100 for overage was added when my bill came in.
The crazy data numbers continue. I have a Firewalla box now that monitors usage and I pay close attention to what I use. The result: it does appear that Cox triples my usage. Where my meter says I use .7 GB in a day, Cox will say I used 2GB. If I use 10GB in a day, Cox will say I used 30+ on that same day. Don't trust them. Since the only way to protect myself from them is to get unlimited data for an extra $50 per month and CenturyLink is charging $45 per month for 60Mbps (Cox is 300Mbps but oh well), I'll soon cancel my Cox subscription and pay their fine for early termination. I'll go back to CenturyLink and will NEVER use Cox for the rest of my life!

I called the San Diego office of Cox. I went through the following process: 1) I had to answer numerous security questions. 2) I explained that my mother recently passed away. 3) She has a Cox account that automatically bills her credit card. We would like to keep that account open, without any service interruption, because she has a renter at that location in La Mesa. 4) However, we are closing her credit card, so I would like to take over payments. I want to give you my credit card so you can bill me instead.
5) I live in Colorado. Coming to a Cox center is unfeasible. I can send a scanned copy of the certificate via email – which was adequate for Amazon, United, AA, a few credit cards, and several other companies where I also had to resolve accounts or bills after my Mom’s death. 6) I asked if they can provide an email address or other direct way to communicate with someone who can help, because I don’t want to keep going through security checks and explaining the same thing over and over. I was told that the solution is easy. Just bring her death certificate to any of our Cox offices and we can help you. I repeated: I live in Colorado, nowhere near any Cox center. The Cox agent said she could not help.
SECOND CONTACT: I tried to resolve this via live chat. Once again, I had to explain items 1-6. Especially 6. I was told to contact the San Diego office, but at a different number. THIRD CONTACT: I called that number. I explained 1-6 again. Especially 6. I was told to call sales. FOURTH CONTACT: I called sales as instructed. I explained 1-6 again. Especially 6. I was told they would transfer me to a billing specialist.
FIFTH CONTACT: I explained 1-6 again. Especially 6. The billing specialist said someone from Cox would call me. I explained that I’ll try, but I’m really swamped with work, travel and visiting family. I had four flights last week. I again asked for 6 and was told that’s impossible. I checked phone logs and had spent over 90 minutes on the phone – not including the live chat time – and barely made any progress. SIXTH CONTACT: Cox in Kansas tried to call twice on Thursday, June 20. I was giving a lecture and could not answer. Cox left a voicemail, which was just silence.
SEVENTH CONTACT: I called Cox in Kansas on Friday, June 21. This is the first time I made some progress. I did have to go through the security questions, but only some of items 2-6. I finally was transferred to a polite man who changed the account to my name, SSN, PIN, and security question. He said the account assumption was successful. Wonderful! Then, I just wanted to give him my credit card number, and be done. He said: first, I have to transfer you to tech support and then billing. I said OK. EIGHTH CONTACT: I was transferred to tech support. Yet again, the security questions. After all that, she said: How can I help you? I said: I was transferred to you. I don’t know. Is there a note in my file explaining why? Answer: No. Can you check with whoever transferred me to you? Answer: No. The call took 33 minutes, and still not resolved. That’s when I gave up and decided to write this letter.
THEN: It would have been OK, but I just learned you cut off service to my renter. As per our contract, she gets a $300 credit. Desired solution: Same as always. Especially point 6. Please provide me with an email address or phone number of a supervisor who I can contact to complete this process. I just don’t accept that I must jump through hoops indefinitely to (maybe) fix a pretty straightforward problem. You can try calling me, but I will often be unavailable. Please make sure the service is not interrupted.
THEN: WRITTEN AFTER I JUST LEARNED YOU DISCONNECTED THE SERVICE!!!! Please also provide a service credit of $300. This is not negotiable. If you say no, I will publicize this beyond your imagination and I will most definitely use my Mom’s recent demise, and will also hire an attorney. Go to a supervisor as needed. I’m still coming out way, way behind.
Please also investigate why service was shut off just ONE DAY AFTER I talked to your customer service people over and over again about the problem. They were really apologetic and sympathetic. Then, who cut off service? How was that decision reached? I AM VERY VERY ANGRY!!! I also ask that someone from BBB contact me about this issue. This entity has an A+ rating. I want that lowered and I want everyone to know how Cox screwed over a customer despite knowing his mother just died and that he already had a lot of trouble with you guys.
FOLLOW UP evening of Saturday, June 22: NINTH CONTACT: I called Cox. I provided the new PIN and my SSN and she did not recognize them. She also said there is no phone number associated with the account, so I provided my number. So, what I was told by the seventh contact was not correct. This contact also did not know I’m in Colorado and the modem is in California. So, I had to repeat myself yet again. She transferred me to a supervisor.
TENTH CONTACT: A supervisor named Jackie explained that they could not reactivate my service unless the tenant gets a new modem. She said they should not have disconnected and reconnected the service, and also agreed that at least one of the nine people I talked to so far should have checked the modem issue. She provided some options, all of which inconvenience the tenant, but said there is no other way. I emailed the tenant with this info. So, as of now, after all of this, it’s still not resolved. And, due to mistakes by Cox (which a supervisor acknowledged), the tenant not only has no cable but also has to waste time dealing with the modem issue.

4 things I would like to address: 1. Monopolized Service 2. Price Gouging 3. Data Caps 4. Disregard of Current Consumers.
1. Monopolized Service. Living in Las Vegas (particularly West Summerlin) your options for internet services above 25mbps is limited to only Cox Communications. The lack of competition in this area allows the ISP to dictate prices due to a monopolized control (especially pricing) of the market. (Verified by checking the same service costs in locations in Southern California vs Las Vegas (in Incognito Mode because doing so on your network+account logged-in will disable you to check new customer offers vs service costs in other areas). They must be heavily lobbying against having Google Fiber enter this market, cause God-forbid Las Vegas locals will get to pay "fair market rates" that would be available once competition is actually a thing.
2. Price Gouging. They love to advertise that the "bundle packages" are your best bet to get the best prices on all of your services, but quite honestly you'll get hit with enough random price increases (system errors as I'm told) and miscellaneous fees that you'll recognize you're basically paying upwards of $170+ for what should be a $129.99 package. Also, for them to expect you to pay additional fees so the Las Vegas Golden Knights games can be aired on their services is baffling to me.
3. Data Caps?! So. Faster speeds usually equal better service, right? Well, if you upgrade to a faster connection or increase the speed due to more active connections in your house, you would assume that the "data cap" (which I do not agree with what-so-ever) would increase as well. Think again. The default data cap is set at 1TB regardless of your internet speed. So if you're upgrading your internet speeds to accommodate an increase in performance you should expect to pay an additional amount on top of the increased price for the higher speed/bandwidth service.
Recently, an ISP representative pitched the "Oreo and Internet Service Analogy" to the FCC saying that consumers should not expect better services without paying more money. In a high-level summary the representative tried to argue that the purchasing services is equivalent to buying "upgraded version" of Oreos. Can't expect double stuffed when you're paying for standard, right? Don't know how that Oreo analogy wasn't rejected immediately by the FCC. (Please take the time to read and come up with your own conclusion on this argument). Monopolized services need to be regulated as it is quite detrimental to consumers (enterprise and residential) to allow for price manipulation and money-grabbing tactics on a market that literally has no other options.
4. Disregard of Current Consumers. While I cannot say that the ISP's customer support team is bad, in fact their support team is honestly quite average/above average. Their policies and business practices fail to give any insight on how they value their customers. From my understanding, valuing your customers should fall in line with offering benefits/value-adds to long time customers to maintain a life-line of supportive consumers instead of adding random price increases, only allowing advertised pricing specials to new consumers, and data caps.
All in all, I do appreciate that some of the customer support agents are actually receptive to these concerns. The speeds offered by Cox are indeed great and and their services can be so much better if they catered to the Las Vegas market in a more meaningful/less under-handed way. They work diligently to ensure that there are not too many outages and the front-line employees do what they can to resolve situations, but it is absolutely mind-blowing to me that some of these practices are in effect. I mean... Come on. If you're paying for Gigablast you're obviously going to be using more data so increase the data cap or remove it for people paying for the highest tier of internet speeds...

I am paying almost $100 for the cable and when I called they told me that they would come on June 6 to install the cable and it turns out that they came until today June 12 but it's fine, I did not bother that. What bothers me is that when I chose my package, the guy told me that the package I chose had Spanish channels and the cartoons came in English, it seemed perfect but it turns out that I only have 2 channels of cartoons in Spanish, this if not I liked the worst experience with Cox.

Cox changed their cables in our area area and send a TV notice that all area receivers are retired and that we need to update our equipment free. We contacted them asking for the updated equipment last week. An appointment was made for 5:00 PM June 11. I drove 40 miles to be sure I am home. The service young man comes with a grin on his face stating that Cox ran out of equipment due to the high demand!!! He offered us to get the more sophisticated equipment immediately for an extra charge or wait indefinitely until it becomes available again!
I countered by asking, since it was their fault not to have the free ones available if he would temporary loan us the higher end other equipment until the other ones become available. The young guy goes to the car to check with his manager. The guy after contacting his manager just drives away. One thing is to not be prepared and offer prompt service but to be rude and drive away is something unbelievable.

From their outrageous pricing to their absolutely pathetic customer service, you would do well to avoid Cox at all costs. I have never been inspired to write a negative online review until now. You can call them ten times and get ten different pricing quotes, and most likely you will still get billed a different amount than the 10 prices you were quoted. Their "services" are absolute garbage - we are paying $250 a month for an internet and cable bundle that doesn't even include DVR or premium cable channels.
It is 2019 and some industries are ready to die. Cable television services are on their last legs, and the only way for them to survive is to adjust to the times and price their products accordingly. Why would anyone put up with all of the problems that Cox throws your way when you can simply use a streaming service for live TV at a fraction of the cost and no annoying installation? We are also going to use a highly rated local internet company that will be just as fast for less than half the cost of Cox's internet pricing. Please, please, please....Do NOT support this terrible company by continuing to use their products. Do your part today to put Cox out of their misery once and for all.

Signed up for new cable TV and Internet service on 3/23/19. At time of sign-up and picking up the cable receiver I specifically asked if there would be additional charges beyond the $89.99 that was quoted. The Cox representative stated that the only additional charges would be state/local taxes. At that time I also signed up for "Easy Pay" where payment for service would automatically be made each month. Funds would be automatically withdrawn on the 10th of each month.
The first bill was received on 4/10/19 and was for $119.99, not the $89.99 quoted. An additional $10 was added for the cable receiver, another $10 added for "broadcast surcharge" and another $7 added for "regional sports". None of these charges were mentioned, not even when I asked specifically about additional charges. To make matters worse, the auto pay system apparently didn't work, the first bill due on 4/10 was never taken out.
Now a total of $239.98 is due on 5/10/19 with the usual "delinquent account" warnings. This is a correct amount for 2 months, including additional charges that were tacked on. Calls to customer service provided no answers as to why the auto pay didn't work as advertised, and as to the additional charges, that was was the local store sales rep and "they were sorry for the confusion". There was no confusion, rather a bare faced lie.
Then to be scolded for being delinquent after doing everything require to set up automatic payments, and customer service not able to provide any answers other than "it should have been paid, you are signed up" indicates to me that despite the size of Cox, they are just a bush league, shyster cable company. Unfortunately in the area in which I live, Cox is the only game in town.

A month ago I received a notice that my credit score had mysteriously dropped. It turns out, Cox Cable randomly selected me to pay them $340. I had never heard of this company before. It turns out their collections company had reported to all 3 credit bureaus that I had not paid them and added a random name alias, email contact, and address to my credit reports as well as the $340 charge due. A month passes and the disputes I filed were rejected and even updated. Their collections agency had fraudulently confirmed the debt without researching anything.
I contacted their collections agency and explained. I live in an entirely different state and did not know the person that apparently skipped out on their bill. Failing that, I also contacted Cox directly. I was told by various phone support people the following: I should bother my local police and say my identity had been stolen, based on zero evidence. I should just pay the bill to make it go away. Rudely told that I must be a customer just trying to not pay his bill.
From what I can gather, they failed to have a proper contract with the original person and randomly googled someone with a similar name to pin it on. Your choice is to either pay the bill and restore your credit, or take time from your day to file a possibly false police report about identity theft that never occurred. This is wire fraud and extortion in its purest form, and it is illegal. Their requirement that you locate their delinquent payer or accuse another random stranger of ID theft is absurd. It is not my obligation to locate anyone on their behalf. They are the ones trying to scam me.

The gentleman I spoke with afterwards was it for me. I asked about any deals or bundles because I’ve been a loyal customer for 7 years. He transferred me without letting me know and placed me on hold several times before that. I was a little surprised to speak with someone new but it’s happened before.

TL;DR - Take your money elsewhere. Never sign a contract with this company if you can avoid it. Cox Communications is a fraudulent bunch of scam artists who have never had to be held accountable for their looong track record of horrendous customer service and frankly spotty actual service. Fortunately, all we really need now is reliable internet service to make this joke of a company completely obsolete due to the widespread availability of streaming services (and actual true competition within that market).
Meanwhile, things like fiber optic networks are increasingly available in many areas (including mine, so I will never be returning as a Cox customer) which makes cutting the cord very easy to manage. I'd encourage you to do everything you can to look into any reasonable alternatives to Cox for your internet/TV needs. They do not deserve your money. So trust me, cut the cord and let Cox keep their obsolete and rotting infrastructure that they want us to pay so much for.
Their internet signal failed regularly at all 3 of my most recent addresses and needed modem resets or central resets from their end at least every few days. This persisted through several modems and routers as well so hardware was not the issue. The TV service was somewhat more consistent but the ability to use their "On Demand" streaming service was a 50/50 proposition at best. This lack of quality indicates a major deficiency in their infrastructure and data delivery/transfer systems.
Further, their pricing model is designed to extract everything they can from each customer. For example they effectively force you to rent the cable box any TV services beyond what you can get via antenna. And they also install rental modems for internet access without communicating to the client that you don't own that modem (and will therefore be paying for it for years). Obviously if you know what you're doing you can buy your own and decline the use of theirs but many customers aren't aware of that option.
Further, they escalate fees progressively and aggressively year after year (all while you may be locked into a contract which promised one rate but delivers another). They have nothing in place to reward loyal customers - indeed it's just the opposite. "Discounts" are offered to new customers but never existing ones. That said, even those are a trap because the rates you get quoted will expire before your contract does and you'll then be locked into paying substantially higher rates for the duration. Of course they communicate none of that to the customer.
The final straw for me was that we suspended services while doing a renovation of our home. I verified at the time that there was no balance due both over the phone and in person when I returned their equipment. I got a single voicemail from Cox asking that I return the call but this wasn't possible because their automated system basically locked me out and hung up on me since my account was no longer active. At any rate there was no indication of what the call was regarding and I assumed they were simply trying to get me to reactivate my account. I got no notices in the mail. Nothing via email. No further calls (or at least no more messages - I'm a teacher and can't reliably answer my phone during business hours).
At any rate, I had always had my account set up to automatically withdraw/pay my bills from my linked checking account - which apparently ceased when I disconnected without anyone communicating that to me either. It never occurred to me that it was even possible I could owe them anything further after it was twice confirmed I didn't and while they had access to automatic payments regardless.
A couple of months later I get a hit on my credit report from a collections agency. This is the first I've heard of any of it. When I contacted Cox they were completely unapologetic and took absolutely no responsibility. I went about 15 years with them, never missing a payment or even being late on one to their sending collections after me over a small balance that they didn't bill me for. I have no issue paying what I owed, and in fact have done so but for a company called Cox COMMUNICATIONS, they're remarkably bad at it. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and suggest you do the same. Good riddance.

I will be looking at AT&T, along with other vendors, when switching. Unless you have no other vendor choice, I would advise steering clear of Cox. Not only is the pricing misleading, the customer service is deplorable - some of the worst I've ever experience. One agent accused me of lying when I called after a technician visited my home and told me I had to rewire my house to get unscrambled service. I explained to him during that appointment that I thought the problem was at the street. He disagreed and then canceled my appointment AFTER he was at the house.
I called Cox to discuss the issue and that was when the agent accused of lying. He said he couldn't help me since I had canceled the appointment. (Another tech did end up coming out later in the day; and the problem was at the street.) I later learned, from a colleague whose spouse works for Cox, that technicians frequently cancel completed appointments when they think they will receive a bad review so the survey won't go to the customer. Cox tolerates this behavior. Sign up with Cox only if you you like to be abused by rude agents who mislead with pricing and enjoy paying exorbitant prices for substandard service. States should make cable abide by ethical standards if they which to do business with its citizens.

I signed up for a "promotional" package. The total cost, including taxes and fees was supposed to be $70 less than the bill I received. The customer service indicated it was incorrect and said the next bill would reflect the lower charge. The next bill was still $50 over. I called again and was told that I misunderstood the taxes and fees were added later, which as I stated to them, I had the initial price in writing, including taxes and fees. After 5 months of calling and spending average of 2 hours on the phone with them, I have decided to cancel my service.
Then I receive an email stating if I come back, I will receive a 40% discount off my original services. I called and guess what, it is off the "non-discounted" price which would save me between $10-$20/month. What a scam! I have dealt with numerous companies over the United States, as I move frequently, but I have never encountered such a crooked company as Cox. Even when speaking with the customer service people, they say they know it is wrong and wish they could change the way Cox does business. It is sad, but consistent with the way things are now regarding customer service.
It is never about the customer anymore, just the fact that once you are a customer, you get no savings, only new customers and only if you sign your life away. This industry will learn that they will fail without customers and with all the apps and other options for internet out there, they will be losing customers because the technology world does not need to be connected via wires anymore and these companies will soon learn how "valuable" customer service and customer retention is to the viability of their bottom line. I have never written a review before, but I felt mistreated, lied to, and never was I, the customer ever put first.

Unfortunately, there is no other cable company to compete with Cox. I understand the others are even worse. Can't depend on their WIFI. COX WIFI is most unstable. It stops working at the worst times... In the middle of a movie or during an online class, like right now. Customer service reps are nice and they do all they can, which is always just to "send a signal" that disconnects you from everything. They send technicians who do nothing other than to "send a signal". The box in front of my house is so old and deteriorated, that cannot possibly work well. COX will not replace it, they just patch here and there. It is so frustrating that I am always in tears when I need to do something important that requires COX wifi. And I pay an obscenely high sum every month for this crap. Over $300.00 for bad service.

The only reason I have Cox Cable is the complex I live in will not allow ANY other provider in. I know that will be the ultimate reason I move. There are always ongoing problems, from billing, to internet access, to tv issues - there are too many to list. Pick a problem, they’ll have it. If not, they’ll create it. Also, they MAKE you have a landline so they can give you better rates. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a Cox landline that isn’t used and is therefore useless. If I could have anyone else, it would be DirecTV and LV.net for internet services.

On a Saturday, while researching a technical issue on Cox’s webpage I responded to their online “chat” invitation. While unable to help resolve my issue, he offered to schedule a technician for the following Monday, to which I agreed. On Monday, no technician showed during the previously scheduled time block. When I called Cox to inquire, they informed me that no technician had been scheduled, according to their records. So, I rescheduled for the following Wednesday, 1-3 PM.
On Wednesday, at 3:15, no technician had arrived or contacted me. I called Cox, and was told the new arrival time would be 4:10 P.M. I asked why I wasn’t notified of the delay and was told the technician couldn’t call because he was working on another job. When I asked to speak with the supervisor, I was told he wouldn’t be able to help me either. When I insisted, I was put on hold for two minutes, then told the supervisor couldn’t speak with me because he was on another call. No offer to have him call me back. I’ve been a Cox customer forever, but am seriously considering changing providers due to Cox’s pitiful customer service.

I have had COX since November 2018 and my service was disconnected in error at my townhouse complex where all residents regardless of apartment number all share one main address. My service was disconnected and after speaking with rep #1 (of 6 or more reps over time) I was told that someone else was identified as beginning service at my residence so therefore mine was disconnected. Mind you each resident here 50+ families do have the same main address but different names and different account numbers.
I got over this error and the same day of the disconnect I was reconnected and told that the only way I could reconnect is with a new account number in which my payment from the previous account would apply to the new account since Id never missed a payment and never asked for this service interruption. This was not the case. The previously disconnected account remained in my name and no credit was applied. After receiving a notice that my account was heading to collections it triggered a long series of me calling being lied to and calling again after finding the previous account balance is still being identified as unpaid. Long story short the reps are either undertrained or simply dont have the competence to be in the ropes they are in. Even after speaking to a supervisor I was treated as though a favor was being done by the fees I didnt accrue being removed. There is no seriousness of customer retention and it shows.

I've been a customer of Cox for a very long time (mainly because of where I live) otherwise I'd go somewhere else because of their customer service. So there's a horrible wind storm in Ohio and my cable line gets pulled off my house and is dangling between the pole, the ground and my house. I need to leave at some point and it's mainly a safety concern too! I called customer service and the lady couldn't just open a ticket for it - she said she had to "reboot my modem" to trigger a ticket. She tries that and it works, but she can't submit the ticket she gets errors.
So she sends me to advanced tech support, I explain the problem and he says he can't help me. It's not my fault the first level support couldn't open the ticket - just get me to the right place. I get redirected back to the original line where Customer Service isn't open on weekends and it tells me to Text a number for 24/7 support. I get that far and explain my situation and they state the earliest service appointment is Tuesday. Are you joking with me? Why isn't this an emergency or at least of high level? It's hopeless. They said earliest would be me calling in on Monday at 8 AM.

Moving along, I received the new modem and started the self-install procedure. The program would not accept my account number, which is the number on my bill???
It would accept my address so I continued, but after entering the MAC address the message said the address was accepted, but COX didn't support that modem, that is, the one they just sent me, but if I continued I could download a list of modems COX did support, which was a blank screen.

Customer Service is HORRID at this company. When I signed up as a new customer, I was quoted a price and was read a list of channels I would have with my cable/and internet service. I was pleased.

I even explained that I did not yet have my TV; it would be delivered in a few days, hence my asking for the channels I would have being read back to me. Flashforward 4 days, I get my TV, hook it up, and NOT one channel I asked for was available. I called Cox, and was given a complete runaround, and quoted a much higher price for what I "wanted".
Three representatives later, and three supervisors later, I am told they will not do anything and will not honor what previous supervisors said they would do. "No, you are not going to get anything..." direct from the last supervisor/mini-dictator I spoke with. I was even told by this individual that she was the highest authority. Even after I mention district managers, her direct boss/supervisor she reports to, and even the CEO...she said, "Yup, I am it."
The hubris and arrogance was overwhelming.

Cox Cable is easily the worst cable company and probably the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. Their customer service is terrible— the people working there are shockingly rude and noticeably apathetic to your issues. Sometimes my services will just stop working out of nowhere with no notice, text, or email from Cox and I won’t know the issue until I call their main line. They also randomly hike up fees— again without any notice. They have a virtual monopoly in the area which is very unfortunate for the customers who just want a good service at an affordable price.

They sent a tech out to look at it but there was nothing he could do. He did suggest to have the box in an open area so it could breathe. We had it in a entertainment center - odd to me but ok. If that doesn’t work we would need a new box. We did what was suggested and it seemed to help.
Now the shows are stopping and this time completely restarting the shows. In some cases stopping at the same point of the program. So we need a new box. However they can’t transfer the programs on the DVR so we can lose them or watch them and exchange the box. Not a whole lot of convenient on Cox at all. We have now decided to pay the discounting fee and going to Fire Stick and other options for our programs. BTW DirecTV is better in service to a point. Not saying much when it comes to Cox.

I insisted to speak to someone who might have more authority (like maybe the janitor) and finally got someone in Collections who was able to remedy the situation. Thank you Josh! I'm about to go back to rabbit ears with tin foil on the ends. (Younger folks will have to ask an older person what this means.)

This company is a complete ripoff. When we moved to Oklahoma, we had no choice but to use them for internet. The customer service is awful and they price gauge. We were paying half the price for more services, in Kansas City.

Cox is way too expensive. I have tried to get minimum service but Cox refuses to honor that request. Now they will give a limited discount for loyal customers but it seems they feel they are doing you a favor.

Our research of various providers found that COX has the best cost, reliability, service, programs and voice activated program selection. Their follow up service is exceptional and leaves nothing to guess for customers. Without a doubt COX has been the best overall reliable provider that we have ever had. No hidden agenda, prices or guesswork as to future programs and costs.

This cable provider is very expensive. If you miss an episode of a program, it can cost additional charges to watch. Sometimes I miss an episode of one of my favorite shows, and it is unavailable to watch anywhere, even for a charge. Not very happy with them.

Dishonest, uses bait and switch tactics, skyrocketing prices, and lying marketers and sales personnel. It’s a monopoly, customer has no choice. Throws in channels that customers don’t want or need and charges extra for other non-premium channels.

They made an error on my bill that so far has drawn out into a 2 year war not only with Cox but also with BBB and FCC. I have filed complaint after complaint and nothing has happen. I received harassing calls, emails, text messages, and everything else you can think of.

Cox Cable charged me $90 more than my next door neighbor for a better bundle that he had. Tried to tell them by phone. Also went to their store. No luck. I still have to get internet by them. No other choice. Went with DirecTV. It is extremely annoying and unfair.

I switched from Verizon and it has just been a nightmare. I have a security system that I paid $1,200 for which was a waste of money and the internet NEVER works properly. I have had to call them several times to fix it and it still is not working.

The channels that Cox offers are great but they raise their prices every couple of months. When we started we were paying $97.00 a month. When it went to $190.00 dollars after about 2 years we dropped them.

The Cox company has developed a monopolized flimflam with their bundle costs and finagling. They are so overpriced for their product and as a retiree I have little choice as TV is my primary entertainment. Never go to Movies as my entertainment budget is blown on Cox Cable.

Internet is always going down. They have to restart cable every night in the middle of watching TV. Can’t record anything two weeks in advance. Remote control 75% of time doesn’t pick up what you’re saying. They make you buy or rent a router. Your wall will look like an octopus is growing out of the wall, with all the wires they have connected! If you’re on month to month billing, they'll increase your bill without notice and you’re stuck paying it. If don’t pay the bill that was doubled on you without notice they'll report to your credit bureau even when we didn’t agree on amount. They are a shady company. You spend more time on the phone trying to get your internet and cable to work than using the service you pay for. The home installers don’t know what they’re doing anymore than the techs on the phone. Worse cable company on the planet. I hate everything about Cox Cable!!!

Great customer service however their prices are too high. Time to go back to an antenna. I cannot afford it anymore on a fixed income. I even have to reset the box every 2-3 days which is not normal. But in my honest opinion I think they are better than Verizon.

Pricing is getting out of line for data received. Should be more prime programming offered at no additional cost. Service outage should also provide Customer with discount on Bill when this occurs. When you unbundled cost should go down not up.

My TV box has to be rebooted every day to get the TV to work correctly. The internet goes in and out all day long. COX is very unreliable. You're better off with a free TV antenna. When you call for help, they'll try to get you to update and charge more. Very, very dissatisfied with COX.

I was told as a "loyal" customer for a year now that my rates would now be increasing as my needs for their services have decreased. I once had tv in 3 rooms - now it's in just one room. I have no computer so I do not need the internet and I use my cell phone so I do not have a home phone. Cox told me if I remove the TV in the 2 other rooms and internet and phone service my monthly plan would go up. Yes, up. It was $159.00 before with taxes, now it is $196.00 and I have 1 TV and I watch about 6 to 7 channels maybe... Seems Cox picked their name well.
I'm leaving and going to DirecTV for $61 total for the first year. $89 after that. That's much better, Cox is a huge ripoff! They should be regulated. And yes I receive automated calls from Cox saying to please call as some services may become not available. The agent told me it's their tactic to get you to call so they can get a payment from you... And a suggestion, have a fax number ready and when they ask for your partial payment or set up a pay plan have them fax you a guarantee that with your payment your services will remain on! Then when you receive their fax you make the payment...

The cost for the service is not equivalent to the value received. It is way too expensive. Sadly, in this community, there is only one cable provider and no other cable option. Monopolies can charge all the market can bear.
