    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.

    Their technical department and charges to have free technical support has not added up. Virtually no accountability and blame game on other in-home TV provider is always blamed for their modem/router problems and outages downloading. Terrible customer service and over-charges for digital telephone.

    While Cox Cable has a good channel line-up, you have to pay extra for too many channels that might come in a nice package from other cable companies; furthermore, you can no longer pay a la carte for channels, which makes no sense to me. Overall, there is little interruption in service, but oddly enough it's common to choose a premium channel via the guide and the screen become black; however, you can get to that channel simply by typing in the number. The cost is exceedingly high for those of us who can't figure out how to use alternative means of watching TV.

    This company has been a nightmare to deal with. For years I only kept the internet service which was fine for good reason because they have always been horrible but was happy at the internet service I was receiving. The moment I upgraded it went smoothly. I got a decent bundle. Great price. They honored it. Then I had to move. They kept my same service agreement and waived the installation fees.

    This is where all hell broke loose. My bill went from $200 to $1000 then to $800. 3 months it takes them to fix my account at the same time unable to get the appropriate department to fix it. Instead I’m put through a gauntlet of inept untrained reps, clueless “supervisor” who have no clue about their products or services.

    Their customer service is so poor a supervisor is always busy. The worst customer service reps ever who have no clue what their services are or what they provide. They are clueless robots who brow beat you with scripted responses and insincere apologies then when it gets too out their depth they hang up on you and you get put through the gauntlet again or worse put you in hold limbo. The worst company and customer service ever.

    I’m filing a FCC complaint and contacting a lawyer. Based on all these poor responses there should be a class action suit on this company for unethical fees and charges. They sell you movies, digital copy movies at the same rate as Apple Or Amazon. Only you don’t really own the movies you supposedly purchase. What they don’t tell you or warn you about is that once you don’t have Cox service you don’t have access to the movies you purchased and supposedly own!!! God forbid you're relocated or move to an area that Cox doesn’t have service. Well they took your money and the movies you purchased. That’s fraud. They make the customer think they were sold something they really weren’t. This is the worst company ever.

    Reliability is fairly good. But no transparency in regard to rates, poor customer service although the actual CSRs are very polite, however, they accomplish nothing. Rates also change with little notice (internet service went up $12 in one month.) Website doesn't explain pricing structure -- CSRs offer "deals" that are not on the website. No rhyme or reason when it comes to offering bundled packages. No Oklahoma government oversight on this utility -- No agency to provide complaints.

    Today at 20:20. Currently the internet charges for my account total at $109.98 per month. 100mb download speed, modem rental and unlimited data. The EXACT same service from Spectrum (a few miles from my service address) the EXACT same services cost a total of $44.99. Next year when my introductory rate increases to the standard rates my charges will go up to $144.98 per month. A difference of $99.99 and TRIPLE the cost of the nearest competitor. Additionally, Cox requires a 2 year contract in order to receive the discount. Spectrum requires no contract, has no additional charges for modem rental and no additional charges for data caps. That is in no way providing service comparable to that provided by competitors. Data caps have been imposed merely as a means of increasing profit margins in an industry that currently exceeds even the most greedy of corporate excesses.

    I am requesting that I be provided with the contact information for the franchise authority in my area. I intend to contact my senators and representatives in both federal and state governments and urge that cable and internet providers be regulated as public utilities. I intend to state my case to the franchise authority and request that the Cox franchise be revoked in favor of another provider. I am considering a lawsuit for price gouging. I have contacted Cox directly, and the response was "this is what you signed up for." You have finally acquired the enmity of an educated consumer. Fix it or face it. Your decision.

    I have phone and internet service with Cox, and have been basically happy with the service. I called to price adding TV and received a reasonable offer that I accepted. However, I called back a few days later to make a minor change, only to find out the first agent promised me a plan/price Cox did not offer. I was told by the second agent that corrections would be made to honor the originally quoted deal. After cancelling my other service, I had the Cox TV service installed yesterday, only to find out the second agent also lied, and had done nothing to correct the original lies. I just got off the phone with the “loyalty department” agent, who informed me that he had no ability to give me the service I was promised at the price quoted. COX IS A TOTAL SCAM COMPANY! I will be cancelling all services as soon as I can arrange another company.

    Cox Communications (Cable) is the only highspeed Internet provider in the Las Vegas Metro area and their Cable TV runs off Comcast’s Xfinity fiber optics platform - “the top rated in the US!” Cox’s, also has voice activated remote controls. Moreover—like Comcast’s Xfinity—you can watch TV anywhere with Cox’s “Contour” mobile app for smartphones, laptops, PCs, and iPads, etc. In addition, you can bundle cable TV, home phone, and Internet (or) switch out the home phone for Cox’s home security and bundle (home security, Internet, and cable TV).

    I have been with Cox since 2005 for internet, phone and TV. They continually raise the rates without improving service. At the suggestion of one of their resolution agents last year, I took 3 of my tvs off the system to try and get my bill back to a reasonable rate. They quoted me one rate and then when the bill came it was a higher rate. After talking with a retention supervisor, my rate was slightly reduced. The retention supervisor also informed me that I would need to call back this December to get the promotion discounts reapplied and that it would be no problem. My rate would remain at $165.30. When I called back this December, I was told my bill was going to increase to $183.15 instead. I asked for this to be escalated to a retention manager since that is clearly not what I was informed by their retention supervisor.

    I was told to call Cox corporate in Atlanta. I did this on the 7th. I provided Cox corporate with all the details including each agent, and supervisor's name and ID, date and time of conversations, and what I was promised. Cox corporate was very professional and told me she would call the Executive Retention Team here in Las Vegas as soon as she hung up with me. She said they will get back to me to hopefully resolve the issue and retain me. I have not heard back from the Executive Retention Team and noticed that my bill changed today without any notification to $212.47! A $47.17 increase per month, or $566.04 per year with no change in my service. It is very frustrating to get mislead/lied to by Cox retention supervisors. Obviously Cox doesn't see the value in retaining long time loyal customers.

    Cox response, was not to call me as they said they would. I filed a BBB complaint, and Cox in their response had the audacity of stating that "It is always our goal to provide our customers with exemplary customer service. As a customer service oriented company, we know that our success largely depends on our customers' perception of our employees, as well as our company. Upon review of our customer's account, it has been determined at this time our customer currently has the best available discounts." This in spite of the fact that their own Customer Retention Supervisor told me I was qualified for and would receive a lower monthly bill than the 29% monthly increase they just hit me with.

    The first line staff is good to work with, but it is clear they have policies and guidelines that prevent them from offering good choices to customers. Also pricing is high as there are no good alternate choices, especially when it comes to high speed internet. I am finding that over the air TV is a real good option and will save a lot of money.

    COX services in Las Vegas. I really hate this cable company and all of their fees. Worst experience I've ever had and this is why I don't like cable companies. Cox corporate office is in Atlanta which sucks because of the different time zone. Their customer service sucks especially when your operator is laughing in the background to other operators while on the phone with me. None of the supervisors can answer questions as I asked them. It was so frustrating to the point that I am in here crying and upset. I am going to return their equipment and I don't ever want their services again. My bill says one thing but when you call them they give you a higher charge. When they say they will credit your account it never goes on your bill right away. I would never refer anyone to this company. I am very upset and pissed off. I would say more but right now I just want to be done with them. DO NOT GET COX. DO NOT!!!

    Cox Cable is the only available high speed internet provider in my area in Rancho Palos Verdes. We have recently moved there and are trying to connect to the internet. On the appointment date the technician came and found out that there is no cable between the street and the house. He ordered a "bury drop" top pull the cable under the sidewalk. He told us that this will be an expedited order which should take just a couple of days.

    It has been more than two weeks ago. I have been calling the Cox dispatch every day to find out why the delay. They keep telling me that the work order has been placed, but it is not scheduled because they are waiting for the permit from the City to start the dig. I called the City myself, and they told me that they don't have any permit requests for my address. I called Cox again, and they told me that there is no way for them to give me the contact information for the company which does the "bury drop". The only think they can do is have someone call me and explain what is happening. Obviously, nobody called me.

    Cox Business Internet customer since 2015. Disconnected service after no resolution to billing issues since day 1. Upon moving my home business I was sent over a contract by a slick talking Cox rep who arranged my move of services. And my former service to the old address was never disconnected. My account had been accruing late charges from the address I moved from and I called numerous times to get this remedied. It seemed to be resolved but here comes my bill after moving from Mesa to Chandler in August.

    The bill was now over $200/month and after calling them, billing tells me I have late charges attached each month. Which is crazy because I paid the bill in full. Another phone call to Cox and no changes and now I'm told that they have a signed contract agreeing. What? I only moved and asked for services to change address, no new services or changes, just an address change. Beware - Do not move or your bill be totally messed up.

    After numerous attempts I finally cancelled all services. Now I receive a bill that states I owe over $6900! After calling them again today, they informed me I owe $525 in actual service charges and over $6400 for cancelling a contract for dissatisfaction. Apparently Cox penalizes customers who do not want to continue being dissatisfied. Please understand it is not the customer service people or billing employees that are the issue. Each person spoke with had their hands tied to what they could do for customers. They explained this is Cox contracts and they do experience many customers having the same issues. Disgusted and Discontent. Will NEVER do business with this corporation again. Bad bad experience Save yourself the frustration and stress and hit to your credit, avoid this company.

    Cox’s business plan is to get you signed up and then without notification it’ll start charging you a higher rate after a period of time. About a year ago I canceled my Internet, cable, telephone for this reason. I did however request to maintain my email service with them for $10 a month. I recently learned Cox is completely eliminating this customer and not honoring their agreement once again... just another tactic to get unsatisfied customers back that chose to keep the email option should they ever decide to return to Cox. They have once again proven the customer is not their highest priority.

    I was a customer in Phoenix, AZ of Cox off and on for a few years. First, I started with internet only. First off, I didn't know internet services was not unlimited and anything used over your plan you were charged $10.00 per block (ridiculous). When I finally realized this was happening, I called to see what I can do to avoid this expensive overcharge. I was advised to change to unlimited internet and was upselled to include cable. I was promised to have the service fee and the installation fee waived. The fees weren't waived and I end up having to call to have fees waived but the rep. claim to not see the fee waiver notes and wouldn't waive them. Finally they agreed to credit the account for what was promised.

    My other concern, I contacted Cox on the 7th and set up a promise to pay payment arrangement for the 17th and was told my services were not be in danger of cutoff because of the arrangement. Well it was all a LIE. The services were cut off on the 14th and when I contacted Cox on the 14th to ask why this had happened, when I had made arrangements, they told me there was no trace of the conversation on the 7th or the promise to pay. I asked what I should do and was informed to make the payment and services were to be restored. I confirmed with the agent no promise to pay was ever set up for the 17th and agreed to make the payment on the 14th.

    Services were reinstated as informed but Cox still want ahead and tried to take the payment on the 17th, that they told me was never set up. The returned payment on the 17th caused them to put a block on my account where I can only make cash payment and disconnected my services. I called and spoke with numerous reps at Cox who pretty much told me it was their mistake for not seeing the payment on the 17th but they can't remove the block and in order to restore services I would have to make the payment in full and in cash (I was due 1 payment and the other payment wasn't due until the 4th of following month) and that would be the current months payment plus the payment due the 4th of next month (really!?!).

    They also informed me I will have to pay reinstatement fees. They informed me my services would have not been disconnected if the 17th payment wouldn't have been returned. My concern, the return payment wouldn't have happened if Cox wouldn't have lied and told me there was no payment in the system for the 17th and prompted me to pay on the 14th instead. I was stuck with no services and no way to set up a promise to pay and needed to come up with money to make 2 payments at once and one of those payments weren't due until the 4th of the following month.

    Cox is a inconsiderate, unapologetic, inconsistent, unprofessional, untrustworthy, misleading, dishonest and above all, one big corporate scam artist. A piece of advice for you Cox; don't say and promise one thing but do another and then not offer a resolution to rectify. YOUR WORD SHOULD BE YOUR BOND. SHAME ON YOU. I will be trying to break the contract and leaving Cox to never return.

    I had Comcast in Colorado (same company) and it was a good experience. I moved to Arizona and decided to get Cox. Huge mistake! I signed up in a store and signed a 24-month agreement (an actual physical contract, with signatures of mine and the Cox representative with all the details printed and/or penned in ink, then entered into the computer, and kept my signed agreement) with Cox, locking in my rate of $130 for 24-months. My service started 11/01/2017. Everything was fine until I transferred my service. I moved to a new house and scheduled my transfer of service for 9/20/2018; they came out, made sure everything was good. Good to go. No bill ever arrived. No emails. My access to my online account was gone. Six weeks of absolute hell going back and forth with Cox. The representative deleted my account instead of doing a transfer of service. Accidents happen, let’s get this fixed.

    I had to constantly call and remind them to do their job and fix my account. Six weeks later, 5 customer service reps, 1 IT rep, and 3 managers later, I finally get it all resolved. I was assured everything was fine, everything has been restored. I got my bill this week and it is for $160. Also, a section of this month's bill says they are raising rates in December by another $25. I call to ask why (I have a 24-month agreement at $130). Customer service said Cox reserves the right to increase rates at any time. I explained that I have a signed contract that says otherwise. She transferred me to Loyalty. The Loyalty representative called me a liar, they have no record of an agreement. I have only been with Cox for two months (since 9/20), my rate should be $275 so $160 is a great deal and I should be grateful. He refused to listen to me, kept speaking over me and constantly interrupting me. I asked to speak to a manager.

    The “manager” Cody refused to listen, kept interrupting, telling me the same thing as the previous representatives (I don’t have an agreement, I haven’t been with Cox for a year, they can raise rates at any time, I’m already getting a great deal so he isn’t going to help me). Cody refused to listen, told me this was my problem and I should take it up with the store, refused to help me (literally said he isn’t going to help me), and offered to cancel my service immediately after I paid the balance of this month’s bill $160. I said thanks for nothing and hung up.

    Cox refuses to honor their agreements (a contract is binding and now I have to go back to the store to sort this out if I want any resolution). They will not take accountability for their mistakes, and their customer service is absolutely horrible. I’ve already spent 6 weeks of back and forth phone calls, hours on the phone, and now I have to drive and spend more of my valuable time fixing a mistake by Cox that I was told was resolved? I am going to find a new provider and move on. Please do not get Cox!!! It isn’t worth it. And I find it is ridiculously more expensive than other providers in my area.

    I have had Cox for many years. Went to basic TV 2 years ago. Weather channel was included. Two days ago, puff, it was gone! No warning, no "we will need to charge you more for a plan that includes the channel." The management at Cox is pathetic. You have made an adversary of a good customer. Not long until I am on a dish.

    Have had COX off and on since 2002. Living in NW Arkansas, we had ZERO competition for cable providers until recently. I HATE COX but... I have all our email accounts (business and personal) tied to their cox.net address. I have tried and tried to find an alternative to COX but to no avail. My latest "complaint" is that they "moved" the WEATHER CHANNEL to a higher tier than we subscribe to with no advance warning. I called CUSTOMER SUPPORT and was told that it is "...not available thru my current package." In other words, TOUGH CRAP MR. CUSTOMER. You will have to PAY for the upgrade to receive the WEATHER CHANNEL. Did I mention that I HATE COX? This is addition to our ongoing issues with emails, outages, and on and on... Oh, by the way I HATE COX!

    I originally only wanted to sign on for internet so I did not gut the bundled discount even though I added TV the same day. I was told my price would not go up if I decided to drop TV since I was not given the bundled discount. The tech did a horrible job. The cable ends fell off when I barely moved the cable so I had to buy new cable ends and crimp them on myself. Then the bare bones TV service with one added premium channel went up to nearly $80/month. I asked again if my internet price would go up if I dropped TV and was told no. I dropped TV and my cable price not only went up $10/month, it went down from 150Mbps to 95Mbps (tops). CenturyLink will be installing their 120Mbps service at my home this week for $55/month for life. Cox is such a ripoff. I had Comcast before I moved and they were great. They always offered free upgrades. Cox charges higher prices and downgrades service. They should change their name from Cox to Sux.

    Was paying $71 until August 2018 for my contour flex starter package that included premium channel. End August I decided to add Starz for a promotion of $5.62. Was told bill will come up to $76 instead it came for $79. I continued to pay until I received today the bill in the mail for my 2nd year asking to pay $103.86. They increased internet prices by $5 which I can understand but TV charges has doubled from $17.50 to $43.49. I called and had to explain to three different departments (Cancellation Department, Billing Department and Loyalty Department) beside the original customer service rep that I talked to first. These people have no shame. Basically Showtime was free for one year which I only know about now so I said remove it and Keep Starz. They said, “If we remove Showtime will have to double the price of Starz to $10 instead of $5.42 because that promotion is only in case you have two premium channels.”

    So I asked to remove Starz as well. They said the bill still comes up to $81 which they call estimation, in 2 months I have to pay $10 extra on my original price without any premium channels. Why??? The problem every time I ask to be transferred to a manager they put me through to another department. They finally said, ‘Will put you through to the loyalty department because they will make changes that other departments can't do.” All false. They are liars. The cold lady (Account Manager) in loyalty department was the worse of them all. She was like a machine repeating all what the others have said without offering any solution like I was promised. Stay away. I am looking for another service in Fairfax County that can help me better than they did.

    I live in large apartment complex with over 100 units and, obviously, many internet users. Cox Communications installed coaxial cable in this complex 30 years ago. Since mid Sept, we have had problems with our internet service and our MagicJack VOIP phone service that we have had for over 9 years. Re internet service, we have trouble connecting or have continual disconnects. Re phone service, we have heavy static on all outgoing calls which we never had before (so that telephone banking prompts don't work and persons that we call either cannot hear anything at all or our conversation fluctuates so that the other party only hears every few words of what we say. Needless to say, they cannot follow our conversation. I ran speed tests on our internet service and results were all over the place including packet loss. Removed and reconnected cables in room where internet is located, but problem continued.

    I called Cox to discuss problem and they offered to send a tech at a charge of $75 if problem is not theirs. I booked appointment, but canceled it so that I had time to try to resolve problem without a Cox service call. Changed router channel, had laptop serviced to remove any viruses. While internet connection problem improved, VOIP phone problems continue.

    The day after I spoke with Cox Cable, I learned from the complex Maintenance Supervisor that users in other buildings were having internet problems which Cox failed to resolve. These customers work at home and require internet service. So, they called Cox every day about their lack of internet service until Cox fixed it. What happened? Cox re-wired two buildings (4-6 apts. in each building). When the complex rental agent asked Cox to re-wire the entire complex since they have an "exclusive" contract (Satellite or other ISPs are not permitted). Cox refused, saying they only do it on an ad hoc basis. In other words, when Cox deems re-wiring is necessary. I plan to call Cox to reschedule service appointment.

    I recently upgraded my tv package to receive the ESPN channel. I called over the phone to do this. The man was very helpful until I received my bill. I am being changered to upgrade my package (which I understand) then I’m being charged extra because it was 10 days before my billing cycle. This was never explained to me when I upgraded. I called to explain I was not aware of this and honestly wasn’t willing to pay it. The lady I spoke with was very rude and not willing to do anything for me. She just kept repeating that I upgraded before my billing cycle. But I shouldn’t be charged 2 times for that. I then proceeded to tell her to cancel the TV. Cox upgraded my internet without my approval or consent. So if I canceled my tv, I would then be paying $120 vs. $80 for internet. I don’t know about you, but Cox is only after one thing. Money.

    Wanted to cancel service because I was moving and did not want to use Cox anymore. You have to call a special department in order to cancel and this department HAS TO get information from you or they say they can't cancel the account. We had a zero balance because they charged $19.70 on the account that they had previously told us would not be auto debited. Our first call got the charge reversed. Then, when we said we wanted to cancel the service, we got transferred to a different department.

    Cold transfer... Had to repeat all the information previously provided. Asked why we were canceling. We said it was none of their business. They insisted they couldn't cancel if they didn't have a reason. Finally said we're moving. Then, they needed the address or they wouldn't be able to cancel. We succumbed and provided an address. THEN, they come back with, "We provide service in that area." We repeat, we do not want Cox service and they act like they can't believe you don't want their service. The rep insists again that they provide service at that address and want to know why we don't want their service. We say, "It's none of your business."

I explained to them that they should have told me that at the beginning and as they always do they say that they will put me back at the original price so I go ahead and pay my bill at that price. Then they send me a bill saying I’m late with late fees added to the charges so I have to call them back and tell them I was not late with my bill. They were supposed to give me a credit and they need to credit the late fee because I’m not paying it so they credit the late fee but they don’t credit the rest of it so the next month I get another Bell saying I am not only late but I all these fees if they don’t get paid.

    They’re turning my service off so I call again the customer service explain this all to the representative who puts me on hold for 10 minutes and then disconnects me. So now I have to call back to go through all the button questions to get to the right department to get a different customer service rep that I now have to re-explain everything to them who puts me on hold and gives me to a supervisor. And I explained that the error was on their end that I was told I would pay a certain amount and they keep telling me I owe more and that they technically should have credit me the $22 but instead they’re telling me they’re going to turn my service off. So after talking to her for 45 minutes her only response was when can I pay the bill.

Two months later I am notified by a collection agency that I owe COX $95.22. When I contacted Cox they said they obviously processed the wrong balance when I paid my final bill. They refused to notify the collection agency saying it was out of their hands and insisted that I pay the collection agency's fee in order to settle my outstanding balance even though the billing error was Cox's fault.

She showed no respect for me as a paying customer having no tv's working due to the fact their product is failing and I'm paying monthly on time. Then she went on to chuckle and say that they will credit me $3.10 per day for each day we are without service. So I have to miss work to settle for $3.10 basically.

    She then went on to say with a smart tone, "Sir you can take your boxes in to a local store and exchange them." What she didn't bother to asked was how close the store is to my location which isn't close and yet I'm doing all the work plus paying a monthly bill on time.

They offer big discounts the first year for new customers to lull them in, but buyer beware! They are by far, the worst company.

    Cox has the worst customer service of any cable company I’ve ever dealt with. I moved to Orange County last August from the East Coast, so went into the Cox Store to sign up for services. I was upsold by a salesman for home security who offered a “deal.” I was reluctant to agree when I read there was a $344 fee for early cancellation. We were only there for the school year and headed East in May. He told me not to worry about as long as I was moving out of state it was no problem. We were Cox customers for 8 months and I paid my bill on time each month.

    I canceled the service beginning of May, returned all the equipment, got a receipt and I was told at the office I had a zero balance. Since then I’ve been harassed by a collections agency and the Cox team with multiple phone calls and letters. I have called multiple times only to get the runaround - transferred to at least four people and put on hold for at least 30 minutes total. Each time they tell me not to worry about it; they’ll remove the charges. Today, I just got off the phone after 40 minutes of the runaround with four different people, only to be told those charges cannot be removed and I still owe the money! I asked for a supervisor and was told I would get a call back. Ugh. I’m calling the Better Business Bureau.

    So Cox Cable didn't want to work with me on adding TV to my service package - I currently have internet only. I'm paying $100 a month for internet. I want TV added. "That'll be $140 a month" Cox says. Meanwhile, Cox is offering new customers a TV, internet package deal for $89 a month. I mention that fact, acknowledge I'm not a new customer eligible for an introductory promotion deal, but you Cox, need to come down from $140 a month... "Nope" Cox says.

    Not even the escalation department at Cox would work with me. I could only get a 'deal' @ $127 a month but ONLY if I added a phone I don't want or need, or if I added a security camera which I don't want or need... Hey Cox, if you can afford to give me $127 a month by adding equipment I don't want, can't you afford to give me JUST internet and TV for the same price? Nope, that phone or security camera HAS to be installed and in use (a.k.a., equipment rental fee, additional taxes, rate goes up after one year and I have to sign a two year deal). Cox Cable needs some cable competition in this town.

    I have had Cox Cable on and off for years (unfortunately their internet seems to be the fastest in town), so I could not possibly list all of the fraudulent charges over the years, not enough time or space to write them all. So I will sum it up like this of my experience with them over the years. They consistently charge me for services I have not ordered. Have to invest time to call them, explain to at least 8 or 9 different operators, usually over a span of a week, the same story over and over to have the fraudulent charges removed. They always apologize and sympathize with me, so I can tell this is part of their training, but playing this scenario out over and over throughout the years gets really old.

    When a company consistently overcharges for services never ordered and the mistake is ALWAYS in their favor, I have to conclude that they are deliberately doing this. Just once I would like to see a mistake in my favor, but so far it has never happened. The problem is that they get away with it much of the time with many of their customers who take it for granted that the billing invoice is correct.

    I can imagine how many millions and millions of dollars over the years they have fraudulently stolen from their customers by overbilling them. Of course their practice is always to act like it was an innocent mistake or miscommunication. Also, when I order a product/service, they refuse to send me an email with a list/description of charges to confirm my order. What type of business does this??? So when I do call them back to complain, I have no proof of the original order other than my word and what I wrote down myself during the call. In order to minimize their deceptive business practices, I have canceled all my other services and only use their internet. It is too bad there isn't better competition in town.

    I have had nothing but issues with Cox Cable. They rip customers off like no other company on this planet. I will try to make this short. I have had non stop equipment issues. A bill that keeps rising. When you try and lower the bill they send you to a salesman that just feeds you total garbage just to get his commission check. They reversed one of my bill payments to refund me 100$. This was supposed to help me. Then they say I never paid the full bill for that month and sent my account to collections. This was after only one month! They tell me I never paid the full bill amount for that month when they refunded it!

    When I call them of course they tell me there is no records of the refund and that I only paid some of my bill. I have never dealt with bigger criminals in my life. Do not get Cox Cable unless you want to pay for equipment that doesn't work. Fake internet speeds and go through crazy all around problems and disappointment. I wish I could get Verizon in my area.

    I wish I could give them no stars, but that isn't an option. We have a restaurant and upgraded to a new web-based POS system. Prior to having the system installed we contacted Cox (our internet provider) to let them know the requirements so they could do the upgrades prior to the installation of the system. They came out and did some work in preparation for the installation of the new system however it was inadequate as we did not have full functionality. When we called tech support they sent someone out a few weeks ago and that technician replaced the router but that did not appear to improve anything and he stated that what was needed was a new drop and that would require two men and he was alone.

    The work was rescheduled and the second time only one technician showed up and he was told that he was there to replace the router. We explained that had been done already and he was supposed to be there to pull a new line. He stated that required 2 men and he was alone. The appointment was rescheduled yet again for Friday, July 20th between 8 and 10. The manager was at the store early to meet with the technician. The technician called when he was on his way. The manager asked him if he had a helper with him and he stated that he was alone and yet again canceled the appointment.

    I spent 4 hours on the phone speaking with various customer service personnel. Every one of them gave me a different story. Every one of them saw different information on the work orders. I was even told that the technician had come out on Friday to do the work. NOT. Rescheduled again for Monday the 23rd. No one came. Called and spoke with supervisor and waited while he entered a new ticket explaining what had happened in the past. He rescheduled for the 25th but said he would contact dispatch and ask them to fast-track us. I received an email this morning at 9:30 that someone would be there today between 1 and 3. Then I received an email at 10:30 am canceling that appointment. Called again spoke with one of their other 9,000 supervisors.

    All I get is "I'm sorry about that" or "I understand how you feel" accompanied by "I will place the order and a dispatch person will call you" (they never ever call) followed by "Once I place the order it's out of my hands". Clearly Cox Communications provides no customer service. Very maddening when you're trying to run a restaurant business and don't have full functionality. Not only did they cancel today's appointment via email from Northern_Virginia_Do_Not_Reply@cox.come, but they cancelled tomorrow's appointment when they scheduled today's appointment. In short, they have no intention of fixing the problem. They are incompetent and there is no one in charge of anything, no coordination - kind of like "sleeper cells".

    We moved 5 miles away from our old address. Called beforehand and updated our new address and received a work order number and a phone number to complete a self install due to the fact we only have internet with Cox. Too easy right? Wrong... I tried to log on to pay our Cox bill today, but I can't, because for some reason we no longer have an account. There's actually three I was told by one agent for we have no Internet access due to human error. Yet not one tech or supervisor can fix this issue. I was also contacted by a supervisor via phone call and was told there was a discrepancy with our account on Monday. They had the address completely wrong and disconnected someone else's service because of the issue with our account. WTF???

    However she informed me that everything would be taken care of and we would have service. Which today is not the case at all, it has been phone call after phone call talking to representatives, supervisors, and technicians. Someone really needs to listen to all the RECORDED phone calls that have been made between myself and Cox and vice versa. This has been the worst experience ever and is still ongoing. I attempted one last time to speak with a supervisor and the agent transferred me to another agent when I asked specifically for the highest ranking official he could find. I will be leaving a bad review on every site I can so no one ever has to go through what we have gone through. On a good note the internet service from Cox is standard service and works just fine when you have it. It's the customer service that makes this a ** company.

    Very unhappy experience. Apparently COX COMMUNICATIONS has not learned from the recession. Balloon payments are a horrible business practice even on the smallest scale after what happened in 2008. COX wrangles you in with promises of great service and prices, but forget to inform you that after one year your bill will go up $30. After 2 years your bill go up another $100, totaling an increase of $130. Who in their right mind would agree to that? The excuse given by the phone representative was: "Well all the companies do it" which makes no sense to lose customers out of this shady practice, you would think that they would want to keep loyal customers.

    I am slowly coming to the conclusion that these companies do not want our loyalty because if we keep hopping companies for a better rate, they can keep raising their rates and hurting customers on the ballooning payments. Conspiracy theory aside I will never recommend COX COMMUNICATIONS to anyone, or any company that promotes balloon payments in any form.

The Cox agent tried to talk my husband into a bundle that would only be $15 more than our internet only service. With hesitation I told my husband ok. The $95 bundle deal never happened. We were charged $230 the first month. I commented on how high it seemed and then thought maybe it was because they installed new cable at our home. That wasn't it. We were charged $230 (making it $135 MORE a month) than we told. I called, got told it was a mistake and they would correct it, I called again when the money hit my account, I called again and again and again.

    Long run, they owed me around $540. Then they credited my account and rearranged numbers until I couldn't see straight. Today I chatted with an agent to see where my $288 refund is (that's the total after crediting my bills and so on). They "processed" it two months ago and it's in my account! Nope. No it isn't. I even called my bank and there has been nothing from Cox since I left in April. Now a "Refund Research Request" has been put in and it will take 72 hours to have someone research the invisible refund I haven't gotten. I solidly and wholeheartedly believe that this company is an overall scam. They suck customers dry until they are tired of fighting with them.

    I was recently contacted by a Cox sales promotion for existing customers about an opportunity to 'upgrade' my two cable boxes which were working fine to their snazzy Contour 2 junk with the voice activated remote at no extra cost... I had to agree to a 2-year contract extension and they would upgrade my equipment and freeze my (already too high) rate for that 2 years... it sounded okay, so I agreed - and that's when the Cox nightmare began. They used to have a solutions store about 3 miles from my home - that's now closed (which I didn't know at the time), and learned the next closest store was over 15 miles away...so much for convenience - and it's not like I live in a rural area either - they've left a huge portion of a populous Washington DC suburb (tens of thousands of people) stuck without a nearby store.

    I disconnected all of my old equipment and drove to their store and swapped it all out for this Contour 2 garbage. I took it home and hooked up the host box....it took about 20 minutes but I got it up and running - the voice activated remote worked, but sketchy and half the time couldn't recognize words like "guide"...so I used the keypad most of the time - that should've been my first warning...next, I hooked up the client box. It didn't work at all. It told me my cable connection was bad, so I swapped out the client for the host to test the cable with a known good box and it came up... that cable segment was fine, so I called their support and after getting bounced around and spending an hour on the phone, they told me my client box needed to be swapped out.

    So the next day I drove back to the solutions store in Fairfax, Virginia on Lee Hwy, and got to work with an obnoxious, rude, arrogant piece of trash petty ** clerk who gave me another piece of garbage client box. I took it home, hooked it up and got the exact same error again. I called their support and once again was told my client box was bad... Ever since agreeing to that BS upgrade and swapping out my good equipment for bad, my cable has been down in all but one room... and I've jerked around, insulted by an obnoxious idiot in their Fairfax store, and given the runaround, ruining what had been a gorgeous weekend I had planned with my family...

    I've resorted to 'downgrading' my equipment now to get my old working equipment back... I lost all my recorded shows, got jerked around and treated like trash by Cox this weekend only to be left with partial service... one of the worst, mishandled customer experiences ever... if you get that promotional call...just hang up - don't do it... because if you like getting buggered by rude obnoxious incompetent uncaring corporate pigs, just save yourself the drive and time and go sit on a sharp stick instead...it'll be less painful and save you time in the long run...

    I wish I had other service provider options but I don't. Cox has a monopoly where I live - if I had alternatives, I'd dump Cox like a rotting dead rodent... and now that the current administration eliminated net neutrality rules, Cox gets to screw their monopolized population and there's not squat anyone can do about it.... this is just wrong and Cox is too... they got you by the short and curlies and don't give a damn what you think about it or how they screw you over.

    I have had the worst experience of my life with a supposedly reputable business with Cox cable. I was moving to a brand new home in Norman so I went the solutions store to transfer service a week in advance thinking that should be plenty of time. They assured me it would only be a few days before they did it. After 5 days I contacted the store and the runaround begins. Since my address is new and not listed on their records or whatever, they have to send the request through their "back Office". Well nobody at the store can give me a clue as to when they will be able to install. So I keep calling and paying personal visits to the store because I run a business from home and have to have internet, So one person after another feeds me some line about how they are handling it and nothing ever happens.

    Finally after 8 days of this crap, I get contacted with a hard time set to install. They will be out in two more days. They say, "Between 1 and 3. The tech will call you before they come out to assure someone will be there." I say, "Great, finally getting something done. I cannot wait any longer, it is getting ridiculous." We Friday rolls around and I never hear from anyone so I call and get someone at the solutions store telling me the tech is on his way. So after another hour I call back saying nobody ever called or came so they give me another line of BS about, "That guy should not have told you that, Call this other number."

    Anyway, this is a very long story so I am trying to be brief. I find out after being on the phone for an hour with the main Cox number that the tech came to my house and nobody was home. Well they never called and thus nobody was home. So I am beyond furious now and they only say, "Well we can get someone out there in 6 days from now at the earliest." REALLY!!!! That is the best you can do? I immediately called AT&T and have someone coming in two days. So now I have to suffer through another weekend with no internet or TV after two full weeks of BS from Cox. They are so big that they don't care about my problems, but I am now on a mission to tell everyone I possibly can not to use them ever.

    We were loyal Cox customers for many years. But as you well know, Cox keeps increasing the bill for long term customers, so when it got up to $300 a month we just could not afford Cox anymore. So we switched to AT&T-Uverse and got a great deal, paying $200 less for the same product we had been getting from Cox. Right after the AT&T technician installed our new Uverse package, I called Cox to cancel our tv/internet/phone package. It's astonishing the attitude difference you get when you call to cancel versus when you call to sign up or order additional services. Like night and day.

    In the process of talking to the Cox cancellation agent, it was very obvious that he was very irritated that I was calling to cancel Cox after we already had the AT&T installed. Because I think these cancellation agents probably get a bonus the more Cox customers they talk out of cancelling. So here is the crucial point. I asked the cancellation agent if there was a grace period after cancelling the internet whereby I could still access my email to get important emails forwarded to my new AT&T email acct, notify people of my new att email address, etc... HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT, that the minute he hit the cancel button, I would have no access to my Cox email. He said that to continue to have access to my Cox email account I would have to keep paying for my Cox email.

    And since I was breaking up the "package" deal of tv/internet/ phone, by cancelling the tv and phone, from that point on I would have to pay even more to keep the Cox internet going (to have access to my email). He said it would cost me $89 month. Since I thought he was telling me the truth, I had no choice but to keep the account open. Of course, with that price, I was intending to deal with my old Cox emails and notifying people of my new AT&T email address ASAP.

    But after thinking more about what he told me, I decided to go online and "chat" with another Cox customer agent. Boy, what a difference. This agent totally contradicted what the phone cancellation agent had told me. He said there was DEFINITELY A 90 DAY GRACE PERIOD TO ACCESS YOUR COX EMAIL AFTER CANCELING YOUR COX EMAIL ACCOUNT. He went on further to say that the guy I talked to in the cancellation department told me there was no grace period because he was trying to get me to keep my internet account open at $89 a month.

    Needless to say, I am outraged. In my opinion, this is fraudulent behavior by Cox Cable. Since I now still had to call the cancellation department to cancel my internet, I let them have it. But guess what happened? This time the agent I got said she could not find our account on her computer to access it to cancel the internet. I KID YOU NOT. Even when I gave her the account number, she claimed she could not locate it. I asked to speak to a supervisor... She said she could not refer me to a supervisor until she had located our account. After she put me on hold for awhile (I had been on the phone over 20 minutes at this point) she came back on and said she finally found our acct and that she would cancel the internet.

    I then told her I wanted to file a complaint against the agent in the cancellation dept that had given me fraudulent information. I do not believe that this guy did not know the policy about the 90 day grace period. I think he purposely gave me incorrect info to scare me into keep paying $89 to keep my internet account open. So she said that she was filling out an incident report on this agent. Still not satisfied that any action would be taken against this fraudulent agent, I asked to speak to a supervisor. The agent said that it would do no good to talk to a supervisor, that all the supervisor would do is to tell her (the agent) to fill out the form she already filled out about the incident.

    I kept demanding to talk to supervisor and after a long while one got one the phone. I told the supervisor the whole story again and told her I wanted this incident to be passed on to the supervisor's supervisor, and up the chain of command until my complaint reached the highest up it could go. I also told her I was contacting the corporate office. I sincerely believe that other Cox Internet customers are being purposely given fraudulent information by Cox's cancellation department to increase Cox's profits. By this posting, I am hoping to keep other Cox Internet customers from being lied to when they call to cancel their Cox Internet.

    I started my journey to try and lower the price of my monthly bill of my internet about a month ago. I went into the store nearest me and spoke to a couple of employees who tried to help me lower my bill. I went in with a bill of a little over $100 hours for 300 speed internet and left paying $70 with the promise that my next bill would be about the same. Well a month later I get a bill and it states that I owe $117 and some change. I go and look at the bill and somehow I have a late statement as well as my regular bill which was about $90. So they must have charged me the wrong price in the store just to satisfy me and make me have a late charge. I then call today and spoke to a representative who advised me that I have something called Contour for my app or tablet that I didn't even know about. I tell her I don't want this and the whole point of going in before my last promotion was even up was to try and lower my bill.

    I went down to 100 internet and my bill went up $30. It was ridiculous. Well she tells me that there is a promotion on there and that we can get the Contour taken off and my bill should go down to about $58 which sounded good to me. She then transferred me to someone who didn't even realize they were getting a transfer call. I explained to her the situation and she then informs me that the discount I was getting was for a bundle and that I had no other options to save money that I should just keep the Contour but she could save me about $2 hours for a modem discount. I specifically asked her if I would have to change modems in order to get this discount and she stated no. I was so upset that I just told her not to change anything and I was tired of being lied to and told different things and I disconnected the call.

    I then went ahead and pay $120 bill even though I think it's ridiculous that I should have had to pay that so that my internet wouldn't get interrupted. After I calm down for a minute I downloaded the Contour app to see what it was about and I couldn't get it to work. I went to the chat on my Cox app and ask for help. The agent sent me a link on how to work it and that was great. I also asked about the modem discount since I had thought about it and $2 savings is better than nothing. I was informed that I would have to downgrade my modem in order to get this discount. Which I had specifically just asked not even 30 minutes ago. I am so tired of talking to 20 different people and getting 20 different stories. I would just like to get decent internet at a decent price.

    I was also told to look into Cox Connect which apparently is internet for $10. This is something I should qualify for as my daughter gets free lunches at her school but then I am also don't qualify for it because I've had this internet in the last 90 days. I don't understand obviously. I'm struggling and my daughter gets free lunches so I don't understand why I wouldn't qualify. I'm so frustrated with Cox right now. I am tempted to just leave and go over to AT&T. Cheaper internet and I wouldn't have to deal with this BS. I have been a loyal customer with Cox for probably about 7 years now. I have changed addresses a couple of times and I've never had any problems. I even had two accounts at one time one for me and one for my father. This is so crazy to me that I cannot get a straight answer from a representative and that everybody has a different story. Totally unacceptable Cox.

    Cox cut all my services off. Took 3 hrs to restore only to cut it back off after 1 hour, they needed to send a tech out to verify my equipment. Then on 4/30/18 I paid $275.00 then 5 days later they mention I owed $100.03 then the next day send me a bill for $188.00 after they mention my bill is $226.00 per month. Today was the last straw. I paid $515.87 Today. I had just paid $568.00 on 2/09/18 Which the tech promised to call me 2/12/18 which he never did to give a extension, so I called yesterday 2/21/18 and Cox said my services wouldn't be interrupted until 3/11/18 = Total $ 1084.00 this Month. I spent a total of 5 hrs. on the phone today, spoke with 18 reps/ 2 supervisors only for them completely shut my account down.

    I have been with Cox for over 30 yrs. 8 yrs with this account. I'm a Veteran. My personal bank account was hacked and I brought this to Cox attention around mid January which I explained I never missed a payment of $300.00+ per mo. for over 3 yrs. In 2016 they sent me a coupon to bundle my services and I did and all Hell has broken out since. I was paying $121.00 per month and upgrade to more equipment because I have 23 TVs, (8) CABLE BOXES, 12 MINI BOXES. Cox mention my bill would be around $ 226.00 per mo. and when I received my first bill it was $248.0. A week after the upgrade they sent out a Sub-contractor. He mess up everything. His worked knock out 286 houses in my neighborhood. They sent out 6 techs, 2 Bucket Trucks and it took 2 days to rewire my home.

    A few weeks later all the equipment started acting up in different areas of my home. So without my permission they upgraded to Contour which my bill went up another $40.00 For the past 2 yrs. 7 days out of the week I have had to call Cox 5-6 days spending avg. 3-4 hrs on the phone. Cox sent a total of 16 wrong cable boxes, 3 wrong modems. They use to have a office within 1 mile of my residence, now closed, I had to drive over 20 miles for the closest office, but the distribution center is only 3 miles from my home.

    I know I have lost a minimum 2 months of work. ($5000.00) in lost wages, driven over 1000 miles back in forth, had over 25 techs in my home. Spent over 2000 hours on the phone trying to fix issues. Over 18 tech appointments never showed up or call and or reschedule. My bill suppose to been around $265.00 which the last 6 month it's been over $300.00 which I know they have been overcharging me for years and I just could not take it and would even call to dispute.

    I have been a loyal Cox customer for over 20 years. I had recently, two years ago, moved into an apartment and when I set my cable up, it was for phone and internet and was around $130.00 a month. EVERY SINGLE MONTH, the price would creep up. I finally got my bill for April, 2018 and it was $200.00. Nope, done, enough. I called and cancelled my TV portion and am only going with the Internet they offer at $87.99/month for 100 Mbps. I now have YouTube TV for $42.80 after taxes and get all my local channels, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN U, Big Ten Network, AMC, FX, TruTV and many many others.

    I run it through my Xbox console, iPad and iPhone. All you need is a smart TV or a device that is compatible like a Roku or Chromecast and you are set! Picture is HD quality and DVR/record is unlimited in the cloud. I have always been treated well by the Cox employees in the retails stores, but these price increases finally pushed me over my budget and the edge.

    If you deal with them, you have to ask a ton of questions because they won't tell you all the ins and outs. We had Dish Network but $150 a month just to watch tv less than an hour a day was too much, especially considering our internet is another $80 a month. So, we talked to Cox and they gave us a bundle price for TV, internet, and cable, and total it came up to $135, plus $35 for install.

    In that $135 we were paying for (3) of the "satellite" boxes so we could watch tv in our room. They installed our new cable this past Saturday, and after they left, we attempted to use the tv in our bedroom. You couldn't pause, rewind, or anything. When you tried to, it gave you an error stating you needed a subscription to be able to do that. So we called customer service, and they said "Yes that is correct, on your current service you cannot do that, so you have to pay extra". What??? Then why I am paying extra for every one of these "satellite" boxes???

    So I called them back this morning to cancel the service, and found out they'd charged me over $200 for the install and NOT $35 like they said. They now state that running cable isn't part of the install. Ummm, no one told me that when I ordered it. Is this like a surprise party or something? And now, in the process of trying to cancel this crap and just go back to basic internet, they're trying to tell me it is going to cost MORE ($140/mo) for just the internet and basic local channels than this crap they had me on. HUH??? WTF? This is ridiculous. This is why I left Cox over 15 years ago and went to Dish. I knew better than to give Cox another shot... I friggin' knew better. Every experience I've ever had with them has ended up bad.

    After a year, Cox suddenly massively raised the price of our tv/internet service. We are retired and were absolutely shocked it was nearing $200 a month with few extras. We tried in vain to get them to reduce the cost significantly but got nasty customer service instead (and higher blood pressure). We cancelled the Tv part, paid a penalty and went with Cox internet only. Now THAT's gone up to around $134 a MONTH (and it's not even their highest speed). The reps have lied repeatedly to us (now they say we are also using too much bandwidth and must pay extra for that as well!) We have few choices here in Las Vegas, but neighbors really like CenturyLink so our install is this week. We NEVER go back to Cox. Buyer beware!

    No cox agent has been able to resolve my issue and I am beyond upset at the inconsistency of their promises together with the continuous deceiving messages I've gotten from your agents. I am looking to resolve this quickly especially because I don't understand why it's taken 8 months to solve. I had my phone number ** with AT&T but decided to port it over to Cox. Our billing cycle began in August 2017 and the manager of Telegraph Canyon Cox Cable Chula Vista, CA told my brother and I our number was ported the day we were at the store. Few weeks later we noticed it had not been ported and we spoke to an agent over the phone again in September 2017. The agents continued telling me it would be ported in 10 days. Later we came to find out that the agent needed to submit a new form because this number had originally belonged to Cox in the past.

    In December 2017 the agent from the Telegraph Canyon location told me it was their fault the phone line hadn't ported because they submitted the wrong form. He said it would be again "ported in 10 business days." In February 2018 I emailed the agent and he said they were still working on porting it. In the meantime I cannot go to the Telegraph Canyon store because I currently live in another state. This was the reason why I wanted the phone line to be ported in August 2017 to avoid this. I am also still getting bills from AT&T for the line that has not been ported. I have been receiving bills since August 2017. I asked the agent via email to cancel the process of because I cannot be paying two bills and having this financial stressor is disturbing. The agent does not cancel the porting and does respond to my emails. He had responded once to my email and stopped responding after I asked for the cancellation.

    I call again in March 2018 and the agent tells me that the cancellation of the porting will happen in 8 hours. The confirmation number is (please email me) and his name is Joseph. Every time I attempt to cancel or port the phone I try to cancel my account with AT&T but AT&T tells me that they cannot cancel the account because the number is porting. This number has been porting for 8 months and I am exhausted of making phone calls, driving to Cox locations and dealing with this issue that could easily be resolved. I don't understand why they haven't been able to cancel the porting or even port the phone line to begin with. I also want the money I've been paying AT&T since August 2017 to be reimbursed.

    Even when you ask a lot of questions, you don't get "all" the correct answers. Found out the hard way but just in time. I just became a new resident in RI. Once a week I was getting tons of literature/advertisements regarding their different packages. Myself and my kids wanted their Cox Gold Bundle for 119.99 Including their 400.00 prepaid card (after 90 days of on time payments) and FREE installation... Ok Nice!! I finally called their sales department 866-961-0190 on 03-31-18. I asked for their package and they also tried selling me their Automation piece too. Monthly payment together was 209.00. Not Nice... Negotiated to drop down to 173 and change with all their promotions if I bought my own Modem/Router with FREE insulation right? 173 and change including taxes and their equipment right? Sales rep... "This is correct!!"

    Well After 5 calls (and this is only 04-04-18) starting with the Cox tech not showing up, miscommunication, not getting deal like stated on first phone call, Now up to 355/month (how did it get to 355?) which should have have been 209 before negotiations. After 3 more calls (one of the Free instal. not included-Not disclosed during original phone call). Was told by different reps I should have read the fine print, or the sales Rep probably read the wrong numbers on his end of the computer, etc... and it went on and on like I was a moron. This is all before I was even connected!!! So if I didn't call again and they sent the techs to do the installation I would have expected a bill of 173 and change (this was supposed to include taxes and additional equipment on top of the equipment I already bought to save money) instead I would have received a bill for 355 and change and I would have had to pay it by law.

    A total of 3 Customer Service Reps said I was all set and 3 more Customer Service Reps stated it was all different prices so even the Cox staff have no idea what I was supposed to pay. (Hours on the phone) Trust me, I ask a Lot of Questions so there was no misinterpretation issues on my part. Shouldn't be this difficult or costly to watch TV. If I would have disconnect the other service provider I would have had no TV and been screwed. I need to save money this is why I was going to Cox. Not now. Don't wait to see a different Price on your bill AFTER installation. (355 dollars is a car payment.)

    Have them submit a contract on what you spoke about on the phone. I'm sure they can email it to you but they won't. All this before I was even a customer of theirs. Cox should have honored the original quote of 173. Instead they wanted the 355 which I thought was ridiculous and I just hung up. Maybe more people should drop Cox because of the dishonesty and poor representation of a local company. Not a Customer, DENISE.

    Cox advertises bundles that are intentionally much less expensive than what your bill will end up being. They know this is true which is why their billing is set up the way it is. They claim you pay in advance for your service however that would mean that made a payment at time of contract signing. Since they know you'll be unhappy with your actual bill they wait 30 days to bill you and then bill you for 2 months and claim that you pay in advance. By definition, if you bill me 30 days later I am paying in arrears. But to get around that they double bill you. The online account services only shows the last 30 days of billing activity so in order for me to review the data I have to call in and sit on hold. I had this conversation with two people, both told me they bill in advance but couldn't explain how billing in advance results in billing 30 days later. I was transferred twice, finally to a supervisor who never came on the line.

    After 30 mins on hold I hung up. I then tried online chat where I asked how long my contract was. He says it's up in 2020...pretty good scam if you ask me. So I ask for a copy of my contract which conveniently isn't attached to my file in the "My Agreements" section. He says I'll have to go into a store to get that. I haven't even started on the installation process. When we moved and had services moved the tech apparently knotted all of the lines in the box and only 1 TV would work. We spent several hours on with customer service to no avail. They finally sent another tech out who said it was so bad he needed to take pictures to send to his boss and then said "I promise this tech won't be working for us again." So to sum up, they advertise a rate that is considerably lower than what your bill will be.

    Knowing that people wouldn't sign up if they see the real price they don't take a payment when you start service, they simply bill you for 2 months to make up for it and claim that you're paying in advance. Best part is they charge high late fees so if you dispute the double billing they get to bill you again. Installation is a complete nightmare and if you call customer service about any of this you sit on hold and get transferred around. Of course they don't care because you're in a 2 year contract.

What a bunch of malarky. Modems aren't repaired. They're replaced and thrown away. Next they told us it would be free, followed quickly that if we want to have our phone work during a power outage we would have to pony up $30 to $50 for a battery.

    When I asked what model battery I would be buying the three representatives that I talked with, including a tier 1 tech who otherwise seemed quite knowledgeable, danced all around the question telling me, "Well, that depends". I am not using a Cox modem at this time. When I asked why my modem, which is not their decrepit model, needs to be changed I got the same song and dance about needing a battery. I'm not worried about telephone functionality during the very rare power outages that we experience in this area. I refuse to be conned.

After them coming out a couple of times and not fixing it, we gave up. Then, I lost my job. We went down to Cox and explained that we needed to downsize as I had lost my job. They said no problem and we dropped some channels to lower the bill. When all was said and done, our bill was higher than it was when we went in the door. We were then told that we had a special package and that when we changed it we no longer got the deal. We asked to get the deal back and they said no. Needless to say, I was very unhappy. Then, a few years later our computers died. We decided not to get more computers as we could do everything on our phone.

    We wanted to keep our email addresses so we told them we wanted the lowest speed as we did not have computers anymore. Well, over the years the bill kept getting higher and higher. When I finally went through it with a fine toothed comb, I noticed we were paying 52.99 per month for internet. We went down to Cox again a couple of weeks ago and the girl said she would switch it and it would be 29.99 per month. Well, I saw my bill today and it says 42.99 plus taxes and fees per month.

For over 10 years, I paid "rent" on those two connection boxes, pieces of plastic, old technology, since outdated, never replaced. I canceled cable TV last year and went to satellite, but kept the wireless service. It didn't occur to the rep to tell me that I had two pieces of equipment I being charged rent on, and needed to return. Maybe because I was still a customer???

    I just called to cancel service because I am moving out of the area, and was informed I owed them $500 for those two worthless plastic boxes they'll simply throw away after charging me rent for a decade. I found 1 box and returned it, so now I "only" owe $250. They will not negotiate. "No one" - literally no one at Cox - can review the complaint and write off the charge. It cannot be done by God or human, I'm told. NO ONE AT COX CAN REVIEW THE COMPLAINT AND RESOLVE IT. No one. Sorry. She even refused to transfer the call to a supervisor after multiple requests (which became demands) "BECAUSE NO ONE CAN HELP YOU," and just left me on hold for five minutes.

    It is not up for discussion with Cox at all. No supervisor. No escalation of the issue. I should just file a claim with my homeowners' insurance, they said. (Really?) If I don't pay them $250, they will turn me over to collection. Never mind that they never told me to return the boxes until a year later when I have no idea where the second one is anymore (Goodwill?). Never mind that they've been raking in money for two boxes for over a decade. Never mind that the equipment is worthless and outdated. So keep that kind of customer service in mind if you consider them which, quite frankly, I would not. They're literally helpless if you dispute a charge. They cannot resolve your complaint. They will not assist you.

    Worst company ever. 254 a month for services. You call to see what you can do to get the bill lower. Not very much help. You cancel your service then you get a call from rude customer service. They wouldn't work out a payment plan on a 196 balance until I returned my equipment so I did and what happens!!?? I make payments every week to pay it off so they send me to collections. Adds extra charges for their awful service that I am not even using anymore and screw my credit score and send it to collections with an extra added $41. LMAO. Company is the biggest joke. Rudest people. They rip people off. I will go with no service before ever going back to that company. Unreal.

    My family and I moved to a smaller town where it appeared that Cox was the only internet and TV provider. We paid for their service in a bundle as they always try to sell and at the beginning it seemed like a good deal 50 Megs internet, hundred channels and a phone service I didn't really want for $80 is a month. Then after the first couple of months I started to receive more and more gouges in my monthly bill. After several months of trying to get a reason and paper billing so that I could go over each charge they finally shut us off because we refuse to keep paying what was now a hundred and fifty to $175 a month without reasoning.

    The last time we attempted to contact them the rep told us that somebody had put a note in the computer saying that we were the ones that were aggressive and he shut us off because of the way we talk to him. Do not use their service. It will not cost what you think it will and it is more of a pain than it's worth. I will never use them again or recommend them to anyone.

    Terrible, greed oriented company that rips off the consumer any way they can - devious deception, extremely poor service, does not allocate a fair amount of their huge profits towards customer support or product maintenance, slips in unrequested upgrades on the bill, has deceptive information practices to mask their agenda of gouging the consumer. The list goes on & on. Monopolies are supposed to be against federal law but they hold a monopoly in my area and continue to exploit it to add to their revenue base. In a nutshell, they should be investigated and indicted by the FCC - Maybe even be subject to a class action civil suit!

    My wife and I moved from GA. last year. We were customers of Cox Cable for 20+ years before moving. We returned our cable equipment before moving and then 9 months later get a bill for the equipment. I tried and tried to resolve this with these people only to get the run around and turned over to a collection agency. Then after paying these jackoffs their money, dinged my credit with this crap!!! So I called again to ask questions and file a complaint, never to hear a word form any one. In my opinion, Cox Communications is a rip-off and has THE SORRIEST service of any provider I’ve had to deal with.

    I own vacation rentals. It appears that when they come out to work on the box in our complex it takes down our service in some of our vacation rentals causing renters to be disgruntled and costing us money as we have to reimburse our renters for the inconvenience due to Cox not taking care of the issue, they caused by not responding to the issue immediately. This has been happening for years. We cannot switch to DirecTV due to wiring in our buildings. So unhappy with not having constant dependable cable and NOT getting a quick service response!

    Cox sent me equipment I did not order, did not disclose fees for the equipment I did order, and charged me to repair defective equipment they sent me. They are refusing to remove the $97.99 in fraudulent charges from my bill. I contacted them 2 days ago, and they attempted to negotiate with me to pay only some of the fees. Unacceptable. All lines were busy when the call was escalated, and was promised a callback within 6 hours. It has now been over 48 hours without a call. My service is being held hostage and they are threatening to suspend it if the fees are not paid.

    I was calling to move my service to my new address and I kept getting transferred around - I’d been transferred seven times and everyone was telling me something different, (my local store is closed at this point so I couldn’t just go in for help). One guy on the phone told me that my area isn’t in the service range (it’s literally a street over from my old address). Then he told me I had to cancel my account and he transferred me to a lady to take care of that for me. when I asked her to cancel my account she told me I had to call a different number, so I called the number she gave me and it wasn’t even a real number. I didn’t want to be unreasonable, so I emailed the company first to explain my situation and the person was like, “Hi Deena, we can look into this for you. Respond back with the full address of your current address and the address you would like to move the account over to.”

    So I told them my old and new addresses. and then she sends me a link and tells me to use that to transfer my service. But it’s a link to PURCHASE NEW SERVICE. By this point I’ve wasted 6 hours and I couldn’t deal with any more stress so I went to bed and left it to deal with the next day. Fast forward to my lunch break. Day 2: I log into my Cox account and it’s telling me that my service has been canceled. So I call the local Cox store and no one answers the phone. I feel justified in posting this review as I’ve tried reaching out several times for the company to fix the issue and it only gets progressively worse.

    COX provides the speeds they advertise, which is great when it works. The problem is the constant outages. In just 3 months of service with COX I have had more than 10 outages lasting multiple hours. Many of which are, according to COX phone support, planned outages. I can understand if occasionally there is something beyond their control. However, multiple times a month shows incompetence and terrible infrastructure. Even worse is when an outage is planned and yet the paying customer is not even notified of this planned outage in advance. COX implies that by purchasing internet services from them, you can expect to access that service at any time. Instead, with all the outages, this is a service that is only occasionally available and cannot be counted on.

    Horrific experience. After being overcharged for many months without notifying me that my bill will increase, I tried to contact Cox. Had to look up the phone number because the phone number is not in the emails it sends to me. Finally got ahold of Lou in the loyalty department after being transferred three times (Caleb in billing was very helpful in providing info but wasn't able to change my package). Lou was very unhelpful and appeared to not understand, requiring me to explain many times the simple overcharge. Received many conflicting statements making me wonder what the truth is in what. After much unproductive conversation and long unproductive pauses, I decided to completely cancel with Cox. I will not deal with a company that requires me to deal with this type of harassment every time I try to find out why my package/bill has changed without me being notified and how to change it.

    My mother has been a COX customer for 27 years. She was told she could lower her monthly payment by $10, she would just need to upgrade her cable box. What should have been a simple procedure quickly turned into a 3 hour long debacle where my mother was on hold 4 different times, with several different people, trying to resolve her issue.

    First of all, she was sent a new, Rovi cable box AND a Cox Contour. That was a mistake because all she should have been sent was the Contour. Second of all, when we went to install the Contour to access her cable, we were slapped with a “Sorry, a subscription is required to access this channel”, for every channel that she should have been receiving. No one we spoke to seemed to know what to do about the issue, no one was able to figure out what was going on. This should not have happened and is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Buyer beware. Think twice about using Cox services. They’re a joke.

    I went from a simple internet fee and upcharged to a silver bundle. The technician, charged me and came early (before I was there). He took my personally owned Cox modem that I recently bought from COX. I want it back btw! He put the new modem that was to cost me anywhere from $7 per month to $21 per month (take a guess which one Cox hit me for). All to get higher internet - which he did not turn in until 2 week later - at a cost to me. My bill is now 90 approx dollars more and I feel cheated. I want my modem and I WILL CALL THE COMPETITION. Cox is dishonest. I was told my final bill (before switching would be $133 ish -counting taxes); then the nice technician came before the alotted time and stole my modem. The one I just paid Cox $175 for a few months previously.

    So after getting my phone and internet actually switched on - it was off for 10 days - I get charged an activation fee. This technician should not be paid anything - what a ripoff. Oh and the $ approx $133 went up to $145 per month because of the new fancy modem. Only problem is that after my call to Cox to ask for my modem - I am now told my monthly bill is appx. $155 per month. YES, I feel ripped off. This supposed deal will expire next January. As principle - I will look around. Cox is an okay company but they rip people off and have lied to me. I am extremely disappointed.

    I have noticed big change in customer service, & overall performance as a company. Latest issue: Cox recommended laying new cable - has resulted in a wait of 3 months. They contract a company to paint where water, electric, etc. are located (neon colors in the street as well). They pull permits before digging. From initial contact with Cox (Nov. 2017) to Jan. 1, 2018, I have just found out, someone wrote "cancelled" by mistake on the work scheduled. Then I was told work would be done Jan. 2. When no one showed up, I called to find no permits had been issued & work moved to end of month. I had cancelled other appointments to be here which "would take all day". No call to inform me of the change. Completely fed up, this time I cancelled everything. I was told that I had to call the contractor to clean up the neon paint. Since it's their contractor, I told Cox to call; not my business to clean up their mess! I'm still waiting. Will look for other provider!

    I called Cox to discontinue Contour. I spoke with Josh. I was told that by adding Contour TV App, I would have a discounted rate on my bill. I also would have HBO, Starz, and Showtime if I downloaded their apps as well and entered in my Cox username and password. I downloaded that app and have local TV’s shows on my iPad/phone. None of the other apps worked. I called and was told that was incorrect information. Not a big deal as I have several other movie apps. Looking over my bill I see that I have now been downgraded to slower speeds which I didn't agree to.

    I called to get back to my faster internet I had before and now I’m told that package is no longer available. I will have to pay $20 more per month to increase my package. The Retention Dept. said sorry, nothing they can do. He said that everything was explained to me according to Josh’s notes. Apparently, I am unable to speak to Josh to discuss this unless I call in randomly and he answers. The retention department then said to keep the cheaper plan and go buy a better router. Great! So in essence I now have slower speeds and have to spend $130.00 in order to get what I had before. Ridiculous!!

    I was moving to Virginia, and the recommended cable provider was COX. On November 17th (two weeks in advance) I scheduled an installation. The Cox technician was scheduled to arrive on Monday 8:00 am November 27th. The technician arrived, attached a device, messed around with the wires for a few minutes and claimed he could not get a signal and he would get another technician. He stayed while we scheduled the technician for the next day, Tuesday afternoon, November 28th. Tuesday came and went, with no technician.

    I called Wednesday, and they said, "Sorry, we couldn't make it, we rescheduled you for the following week, NEXT Wednesday December 6th". I said that was unacceptable, and they rescheduled it two days later, Friday December 1st 8:00 am. It is now Friday at Noon, and the dispatcher tells me that the technician was at our residence at 8:15 am and there was no answer at the door and no one answered the phone. This is unbelievable. I was sitting in the front room by the front door, the doorbell works and my phone works. No one ever came. I have been home all week waiting for these guys to show up, and the dispatcher didn't care and said he couldn't make another appointment until the following week. If this is how potential customers are treated, I can only imagine how bad service is for paying customers.
