    On my second contour cable box now and the picture quality changes from great to lousy constantly. I only had two Motorola cable boxes in 10 years prior and never had this problem until they started to go bad. Getting sick and tired of it and will look at other options next year. Yeah I've had the contour box refreshed several times and also checked all of my connections.

    I got a new BUNDLE package for TV+Internet and Phone calling and was paying 124 USD in the month of August 2017 (Account # **). I was told unlimited overseas calling by the sales team as part of this BUNDLE Package. After 2 months of usage (Please note not the first or second month):I received around 350 USD charges to make calls for country Kenya. The reason which was told to me was interesting: I was told that I was saving 2 Dollar less than another BUNDLE package hence this country was NOT free. I said ok revise my plan and I started paying 126.62 USD. Despite several followups and tickets raised the charges never got reversed. Today on 12/11 finally I ordered for cancellation. My FEEDBACK: This BUNDLE package is having lot of hidden things which salesperson will never tell you. Please AVOID COX or be double careful while purchasing any Bundle plan.

    I have had Cox for over 10 years and in those 10 years I have had my bill go from 89/month to 161/month without adding any services. About a 6 months ago I dropped my TV package, which lowered my bill to 78/month but just last month I received a notice that since I don't bundle multiple services there was going to be a $5 fee added to my bill... so since I don't pay Cox enough already they decided to add a fee. This company is ridiculous and is a perfect example of a monopoly! I'm getting ever closer to sucking it up and switching to the ** DSL alternative just to avoid giving more money to this horrible company!!

    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.

    I am in the process of moving out of state and called Cox to disconnect service. To my dismay, I was told that I owed back two modems. The first one I've been using. The second one is from six years ago when I lived in an entirely different city. Not only is the modem 6 years old, but they are charging me $122 for an equipment fee. My question is why didn't the tech take it when he replaced it? Or maybe he did and didn't return it. I have no idea what happened with this modem. I can't remember what happened 6 months ago, let alone 6 years. Customer service would NOT allow me to speak to a supervisor. Why wasn't I sent a reminder? They sure enjoy sending me non-stop mail at least once a week trying to get me to buy further services. This doesn't seem fair to me to charge that much for an obsolete modem that is probably worth about $20-$30 tops. There should be a time period where this type of thing is written off.

    I was a Verizon customer and was dissatisfied with the pricing. I responded to the Cox Bundle promotion of $79.99 for phone, internet, and cable. This package came with one receiver. Since I wanted to connect 2 televisions, I was advised to add another which was an understandable additional charge. The internet connection was sporadic for the first week. They came and repaired the problem. When I asked for some compensation for not being able to consistently use the internet for 1 week I was awarded with free HBO for 3 months. Here is where the problems began. My next bill had a charge for HBO which was of course paid by their auto pay bill payment service. Once I had the HBO removed, I lost the $79.99 promotional rate. My monthly bill was then $145.88.

    I tried to reinstate the original agreement but was denied since I made a change to my account. After several additional months of dealing with the pain of being taken advantage of, I reluctantly returned to Verizon. Although the savings were minimal with Cox, I will no longer patronize any business that refuse to put the customer (me) first. When more consumers protest with their dollars, we will get companies to respect our power.

    Why must every year be like buying a used car. They play the shell game every time. If you try to renew early they charge you a cancellation fee. Then you have to call to have them take it off. If you miss your renewal date they jack the price up and you have to pay it for that month. Oh they will lower it the next month but they already have your money so what's the difference? If I want to downgrade my services I cannot do it without calling and being badgered to keep the service I have.

    Cox lies to their customers promising them bundles that will not go up for a year or two years then boom every month the bill increases until it reaches what they admitted on the phone as the retail price. They admitted on the phone that they are taught to lie and make promises to customers to sell their services. So every month you notice a added tax and you call them and they say, "Sorry we cant remove anything."

    Half the time their service is out. When you call them about it they tell you there is an outage in your area or they see nothing on your end it must be on our end and to return your box and modem for a fee for a new one. Then it still didn't work we returned our box five times and was charged every time and it still didn't work. The wifi was always out. My bill started out at a little over 100 for phone, internet and cable at the beginning of the plan and not even a year in is up to 190 and when I told them I wanted to cancel services they said they would sue me that I have to continue to pay what they bill me until the end of the year. I would not recommend them to anyone! They cannot be trusted.

    A while back I called to see if Cox could change my payment date. I was told that if I did that I would lose the discounts I was receiving, so I could either pay a higher rate or keep a payment date that was annoying for my budget. They were completely unwilling to work with me. So, I called back about a month later to cancel my account. I was told by a guy that I would receive a reimbursement of $5. Then, I received a bill for $38. When I called to ask about it, I was given no explanation and I was really angry. The girl was super hateful. I ended up paying it because I'm a sucker and didn't want to get turned over to collections.

    The website accepted my payment and two days later I received a collection notice. (Between cancelling my account and today, it's been between 2-3 months.) I called Cox to ask about it and once again talked to a smug person, who explained to me that I was paid up and ok but when I asked a follow up question, he sarcastically said he just clarified that for me. I did tell him as I hung up that they are the worst. I used to have no issues with Cox or their customer service. Something has changed over the years. I'm so relieved to be done with them.

    I was a Cox Communications customer for a few years in college, and it was by far the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Aside from the terrible service, the outages that happened almost nightly, and extreme fluctuations in internet speed, they were also a nightmare to deal with administratively. Multiple times throughout my service with them, my bill would unexpectedly be "upgraded" to a higher plan, meaning that I was getting charged more for a service I had never requested. Multiple times this took several months and many, many, phone calls with representatives who clearly had no idea what was going on to resolve the problem. Each time I thought I was getting the payment schedule resolved, only to be confronted with even more problems.

    The next problem I encountered was in moving addresses, they completely messed up all of my information and their solution for dealing with it was by having me create an entirely new account. This account was created over the phone, and the representative didn't even spell my name right. I tried to get this spelling error corrected at least 5 times and each times the representative would tell me it was fixed, only for my next bill to also have my name spelled wrong. Multiple times I had elected to enroll in automatic bill pay, only to find out that the representative never completed the steps necessary for this and I was late on a couple payments as a result. The absolute worst thing that happened was upon another address change. At the new address, they double charged me for a professional installation fee. I didn't even want to have professional installation at all, but they assured me it was necessary (lie).

    Well, I was willing to pay the fee just to get this over with as by now I was well seasoned in how phone calls with this company are more frustrating than talking to a wall. But what upset me was how they somehow managed to screw up again and double charged me the installation fee. This double fee got paid by my automatic bill pay, and I called them once again to dispute this payment. They apologized and credited my account with the refund, and I continued making my monthly payments for the rest of the year. At the end of this year when I was moving out of state and jumping for joy that I was moving to an area where Cox Communications doesn't have a monopoly over the neighborhood (which was literally the only reason I kept using them), I was told that I had a payment due in the amount of the installation fee that had been previously refunded to me.

    I disputed this once again, talked to multiple representatives, and even in the billing department no one was able to tell me what this charge was even for! It certainly wasn't a normal monthly bill and I was positive it was some residual mistake from the refund. After wasting many more hours talking to the morons at Cox, I was assured this charge would be removed from my account. Sure enough, a month later I called the bill pay number and was told I had no balance. I checked online and it displayed I have no balance. Three days ago, I get a call from a collections agency saying I have an amount in collections due. This was a total shock as I am extremely good about making payments on time, and I instantly knew those morons at Cox had found a way to continue tormenting me across the country.

    I investigated further and sure enough, the amount that I had previously been told I owe had been transferred to collections and my credit is now being affected. I am so upset over this, I was fighting this charge on principle but I decided that the small amount of money was never worth the headache of dealing with this company. I paid their remaining balance so I hope they enjoy their small payment they wrongfully got out of me in exchange for losing a customer for life. As well as how I am now adamantly committed to making sure no friends or family of mine make the mistake and keep funding the cesspool that is Cox Communications.

    I've had Cox now for less than a month. Their Contour TV service or streaming service I should say they lied to me when I signed up for it. To say that you could stream on your TV but that is not the case. You can only stream on mobile devices and or computer which I find is horrible. I got it so I can stream local TV and HBO onto my TV and customer service was very unhelpful about it and when I try to cancel my service all they wanted to do was upgrade me to a cable box or charge me more money to get rid of the service because I also have internet through them. So I would strongly suggest do not go through Cox go through any provider other than Cox.

I pay my bill on time and have order movies from time to time so they are getting extra money on top of the high bill I have to pay. A long time ago people could rely on Cox but every time I call about my bill going up, they have an attitude and saying I'm on a contract I didn't even sign and that, "We are raising your bill." This is not right how they are treating customers that have been with them for years and pay on time. To be continued.

    10/27/31 I contacted Cox about my internet going down. The next day a contractor came and said the issue with my signal is my line needed to be buried or something like that. I asked Cox months ago to bury the lines and they never had. He dug a 1/2 inch hole and put the cable in it and covered up with rocks. To no surprise the cable found themselves free and my internet was down again. I called the same day, and the agent of the phone said, "I will have someone out to your house 10/31/ 1-3pm." I later received the email that it was actually 11/1 1-3pm. It's now been down for 4 days. They credited my account measly 6 dollars. I had to use 2 sicks days from work because I work from home. This service is unacceptable. I'm crossing my fingers that they fix the issue tomorrow but Cox has lost all my faith.

    In my area, Cox is the only cable company available. They recently set up a cap that would charge us a great amount if we go over the cap. They want the cable bill to be set up like a water bill or electric bill in the way that you pay for what you use but this is ridiculous because once you use data on the internet, it is not consuming that data! It also doesn't cost COX any more money if we use more data so they are just ripping the consumers off. Not to mention, the speed is so slow, it is infuriating. We are looking to move out of here and one of the reasons is because of COX and we will make sure COX is not the internet service provider! It is a sad day in America when COX has a MONOPOLY of the cable service in certain areas and the only way to be free of them is to MOVE.

    The service is good when it works. I have never had the internet speed I pay for, but it is usually faster than the grade below mine. I pay for 100Mbps the next grade is 50Mbps. I average 70 even though I have newer hardware. Around two months old. The issue I have with them is during peak usage time I seem to have intermittent service. They will not cut you a break relative to the amount of time down. I have tried contacting them and they will send someone out to fix their service but they charge you. I have used a multimeter to check the lines are receiving signal right up to my modem. They are, but if they send someone to check it you will be charged.

    It is less expensive if you pay for their extra service monthly, but then you are paying them extra to fix their service which may not be needed. Unfortunately you cannot switch in my area due to the next available company having worse service outages, but they are less expensive. Their rates also increase more often than not while not seeming to increase value to the customer. They use a lot of vagueness in promises so as not to be held accountable.

They sent out a technician whom did a temporary fix and stated that he was a house technician and he is going to put in a ticket for as a pole technician. The technician indicated that the node in my area was bad therefore I was not getting the internet service that I was paying for. This went on for a while. I will constantly call Cox they will send a technician who would say same thing. He's a house technician and the problem is with the box that serves the community that requires a pole and bucket truck technician.

    Just this weekend technician number 8 came out and stated the exact same problem and that a bucket truck technician needs to be sent out. A year and 5 months later I am still dealing with the same issue. If Cox did not have a monopoly in this area I would have switch a long time ago.

    When I was a Cox customer I had to replace the modem twice at least and at least once a week if not repeatedly within a single day had to reset the modems because they would lose their connection completely. Not to mention that their prices are outrageous but it was an equipment issue that was dumbfounding. Phone calls works fine to the modem but internet kept disappearing.

    Cox Cable charges too much for the value of programming they provide. Most of the movies they have are average at most and we end up watching Netflix on the weekends 90% of the time. They have raised their rates lately, and every time they do we end up dropping a premium channel as a result to offset their rate increases. The customer service is good and one of the main reasons we have remained a Cox customer.

I use Cox Cable for my internet access, but I don't have cable or phone. Your support tried to sell me a customer care package for $9.95 per month. Why would I spend $9.95 a month to get a simple email question answered once a year or so? When my account wouldn't verify, they wouldn't even check to see if something was wrong on your end.

    I recently got new cable and internet service with Cox. When I set up my service I was told I had to pay a $25 deposit, in which I paid the day I set the service up; which was 07/05. I received an email two weeks later saying I had a past due balance on my account. I called and a rep told me the balance was for installation in which I did the self install. I questioned as to why I was just now hearing about a fee to install my own service. Basically the fee was for a cardboard that came inside the box in that gave instructions to connect the cords; which I'm pretty sure everyone already knows how to do.

    I was told they will remove the charge due to the fact no one told me about it when I got the boxes. Ok, so now my bill comes out 08/05 and the balance was to my surprise $457. I called and questioned how this was possible being that I had only had the service for a month. They had not removed the self install fee and now they say they were charging me due to changes I had called in to make on my account. I informed them that I had not called and made any changes in my account along with a lot of fees and two months of service.

    Of course you could imagine my reaction to all of this especially being that my bill was suppose to only be $167. I was told they would see what they could do about removing some charges from my account in which they did; now my bill was $350. I decided to pay this balance due to them working with me. I paid $330 and was aware that the balance due was only $20.35. Now I receive another call saying my service was due to be disconnected. I called and the automated system tells me I owe them $70.35. Here we go again, more hidden fees. So I speak to a rep asking where did the $50 come from and was told it was from my previous balance, I asked to speak with a supervisor and was hung up on.

    I called back and now I am told it was a deposit... Now I'm confused because I was told my deposit was the $25 I had already paid but now I'm being told my deposit was actually $75 that was suppose to be paid before I even received my boxes. Now I was questioning how did it pop up on my account after I had made a payment. So I was told they would get it removed due to no one telling about it in the first place. Ok. Two weeks later the $50 was still there. I would not recommend this service to anyone because all they do is hit you with all type of hidden fees. I have yet to be charged $167 as I agreed to pay.

    We have had Cox telephone, internet and TV for over 4 years, and are supposedly premier customers. Our neighbor inadvertently cut our Cox internet line over a month ago when putting in a pool. When we called Cox about the interruption of service, it took them about a week to come out. The "repair person" they sent out looked around but could not figure out what happened? I suggested the new pool next door cut the line. He said he could not make that determination, and I had to wait for another appointment with two more repair people 3 weeks later.

    They came out, apparently with no information about our previous communication, and then I was told that this would take another work order! Then nothing, after calling every day. I had to 'escalate' the claim, which seems to have created a new level of complexity for Cox. They finally figured out that they could put in a temporary line until they got a city permit to fix the underground line. Days go by again, and the first day I leave town, they call up and say they can only make it that day (Saturday). I tried to call back and of course nobody picked up. After calling another 5 different numbers I finally got someone, spent 45 minutes to review the account information, but finally he said he could not help me.

They would double my bill and charge me month after month even after I had called, complained, and thought everything copacetic. They had been mailing offers to increase my internet speed, add a phone, bundle this and that. Two weeks ago I needed to retrieve some saved emails for a pending court case and my internet was down, not the cable, just internet. I called to inquire what was happening and the rep. was lost. He first asked "just the internet?" then put me on hold came back and said yes it was out, I asked when, why, where, and how long and the only question he was able to answer was 8 hrs and to call back then if not back up.

    8 Hrs. later no internet, called and spoke with with female rep who first said she had no idea what I was talking about, put me on hold for 5 min. came back and said my three yr. old modem was bad and when the outage was corrected it shut down my modem. I told her that was BS. Long story short Cox turn off my internet at 50Mbps and told me I had to buy a new modem because they had upgraded me, without my knowledge or permission to 100 Mbps.

    This is blatant consumer fraud and service manipulation and/or theft. They increased my monthly bill and because I was under the gun for the claim had to go out at 8 p.m. the night before my court date and purchase a new modem. I've never experienced this kind customer mistreatment and manipulation. Cox and their employees are out of control.

    I have had the WORST experience with Cox compared to EVERY other provider I have used. The company creates unnecessary expenses to feed their shameful greed. They have MONOPOLIZED Hampton Roads and I am even considering taking it into my own hands to create competition. They use their coverage as a trap since they service almost everywhere and no competitors are anywhere to be found. This company is responsible for causing me to pay $4080 more on my vehicle. Unrelated, you say? How could they have accomplished such a task? I will tell you! They set service up at an address I have never lived at or been to. Not only that but this was done without my consent. This resulted in a petty $40.00 delinquency on my credit (which at 23 hasn't been established) since the equipment wasn't returned.

    I called and spent several hours on hold going back and forth with everyone, from customer service representatives, to finance managers, and the credit bureau to have this corrected. It wasn't done in time for the purchase of my vehicle leaving me declined for every loan applied for. In need of a vehicle I had to take it out on a lease first which cost me an extra $4080 after everything has been applied. Lack of funds to take legal action has stopped me from perusing justice from what has been done to me. Which brings me to today, it has been well over a year since I have had Cox services. I attempted to give them another shot at winning my business today since I really don't have another option aside from not having internet at all. I purchased my equipment so I own it. They required a Profession Technician to install my device since nobody had service here in a year. This is an additional $75.

    When I questioned the obligation they offered a $25 credit however I was proposing a different approach. Since I already have all the equipment I need and I have personal experience with being a technician, that I set it up myself and that Cox simply just activate service. Then if there were problems to arise that I would call for a technician at that time. They tried to insure that the mandatory Pro Install was there for my benefit, when really I'm paying $75-$50 for something I am able to accomplish myself. On top of all of this their connection is not reliable! I have received so many outages as well as the signal not reaching my entire house, even after an upgrade. I have a strong hate for this company and pray for the day it runs to ruin. Unfortunately after a year of keeping Cox out of my life I have failed to maintain evidence to verify my authenticity.

The price was hiking from the get go and they don't tell you that as soon as you sign on with a doable price per month, it will be raised like a mountain in no time.

    The guy I talked to was a jerk. He even made a remark about Cable being a luxury and if we can't handle it, then we shouldn't have it. No! They need to keep to the agreed price or inform new customers that they will be hiking the price up constantly. It's called "i-n--t-e-g-r-i-t-y".

Upon moving to CT and getting COX I have learned very quickly that they do not stand by their word or even what's black and white on paper. As a new customer I received an offer for new service that was a contract for 24 months with no increases. After 1 year the contract price went up by $55 and after about 10 calls and 3 trips to their store showing them the offer in the mail, I was informed that nothing can be done on the price as at time of my new contract the customer service rep used a code that had price lock for 1 year vs 2 years and since that offer is now gone nothing can be done.

    Another issue was at time of purchasing the internet the modem was weak and faulty and did not provide appropriate wifi strength to my brand new LG TV. Instead of offering to come to my house to resolve the wifi issue I was told that my new smart TV was broken and I needed to deal with LG. After about 8 months of this going back and forth, I finally had a service rep come to my house and admit and replace the modem to one that is needed for smart tv. Just recently I decided to make changes on my cable so decided to downgrade to standard cable and remove the HBO/Showtime package. After 4 calls and about 6 transfers I was inform that I can't lower my package as I'm locked into a 2 year contract, yes the same contract that they said they can't honor as the customer service rep used the wrong code.

    After several calls with managers they finally agree to lower my cable service to standard and delete the extra channels as long as I return the fancy cable box. So I return the cable box but 2 billing cycles go by and no change to my price of the monthly bill. Turns out someone never finished my order on the other end. So 3 calls later I am informed that they can't close out the work order as I need to come in and exchange the modem to the lower one. Yes, you got it to the lower one that did not work with my smart TV. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Long story short, in the past I had Direct TV, Charter and Comcast and over 20 years of service. Never in 20 years did I ever had so money issues as I had with COX the last 16 months.

    If there ever was an issue they knew how to compensate the customer and make things right. COX only knows how to push back, transfer you to 5 different departments and say sorry but not really mean it. They have never offered to compensate me for any of the problems or refund me any money for the service that I ordered and yet did not have. STAY AWAY!!!! Seek other companies!

Called back on Friday, April the 11th and paid the deposit. The representative took payment for the deposit and scheduled me another installation date for April 16th. I called and found out that it had been canceled again, because the representative did not transfer me to the 3rd party verification again. Then I found out that they had me down to pay another deposit in the amount of $225 for I already paid $100 deposit.

    I have been without cable for 2 weeks because Cox employees are incompetent to do their jobs correctly. And all they offered me was $20 for my inconvenience. Stay away from Cox. This is the most incompetent company that I have ever had to deal with. They don't care anything about their customers and we are the ones that are making them the money to stay in business. I gave them a one star, only because I had to give a star. They really don't deserve a star. I think they should be sued, and put out of business for good.

    Upon paying for access I was told I would receive 300.00 after 90 consecutive days 3 successful payments not late. At 90 day mark I was then told I can submit it and waited another 2 weeks only receiving 200.00 gift card. Called the main office they said there was a mistake. I should have received 300 and they would notify finance to look into. Would take 7 to 10 business days.

    Waited 2 wks heard nothing so called main line to speak with finance and was told they have no record of anyone contacting them when I talked w/ local store. Took my information and said I should have Received 300 and will have an email from finance in 2 days to state how long and case what's happened. No email or phone call ever came and that was 2 wks ago. I am grateful for the 200 however either they are lying w/ cost or don't communicate in departments...

Called Cox who told me that the previous owner had not paid off his account and I had to go to a service store to show proof of ownership.

I call Cox who pulls up my order and tells me the promo was a glitch. I still sign up for internet anyway. I complete my order over the phone and pick up my modem there at the store. Install the modem - won't work. Call Cox 2x to reach someone who tells me the store needs to physically activate my modem since they have the proof of ownership.

    I called the store 8x to get a hold of someone, but all the supervisors are gone so the agent can't activate my account due to permissions. Call Cox, who tells me only billing can activate my account now. But billing is closed so I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Agents sound more helpful and knowledgeable than Comcast but still largely useless, despite friendly service.

    Your customer service and technical departments together are incompetent and excruciatingly frustrating. To solve a technician no show today, who was supposed to replace the wrong cable box he installed earlier in the week, the customer service department insisted my cable box problem couldn't be solved without me renting the new Panoramic Wifi Modem for an additional $120 a year. (A page from Wells Fargo's playbook?) I escalated my frustration to a customer service supervisor, who casually described this strong-arming as an incorrect statement that an "overly enthusiastic" representative made. After more than an hour on the phone with them, the final resolution was for me to go to a Cox store in person and replace the wrong boxes myself.

    I wish I can give a "0" star. It is outrageous monopoly of COX that every few months, they increase the rates and scam customers with so called "Promotions". Attorney General should be notified of COX's unethical practice. I started my cable internet service three years ago with $55. The following year, without my knowledge, they increased it to $95 and auto billed me, which I did not check for few months. The second month, my bill went up from $95 to over $100. I did not check my credit card statement for few months since I was out of town. When I returned, I called them and I was told that the "Promotion" expired and I have been charged a normal rate. Then when I told them that I want to discontinued service, they offered another promotion, increasing the rate from $55 to $70, $15 more. I had no choice because in my area, they have monopoly and there is no other service available.

    After six months, my bill went up to $102. When I called, I was told my promotion expired (BTW, COX promotion is a scam, where they never disclose their regular price and discounted price anywhere in any contract of the amount). When I called again, I was told that they offered me another promotion and now I will be charged only $80.00. However, then I noticed my credit card was charged $102.39. So, I called again and I was told that my new rate will be $87 and not $80 (In three years, my bill went up as $55, $70 and now $87).

    Every time I called, I was placed on hold for hours, first Billing dept., then Floor Supervisor and then Customer Retention Department. My last call today, they put me on hold and gave me run around from person to person for two hours, without finally helping or settling the matter. They know, who has time and people are going to get frustrated and give up. So, this is another strategy they use. I will be definitely reporting this matter to Attorney General and I need support from other COX customers. Perhaps, we can file a class action law suit. I am sure there are thousands of dissatisfied customers. We must break the monopoly of COX and AT&T and request FCC to make other providers' service available just like cell phones without contracts and free to get any service.

    First I want to start off with the install with Cox Cable. The technician that they had sent out was in the basement hooking up cable lines and was cursing the whole time. I was not home but my girlfriend said he was cussing the whole time with kids in the house. Then he had drilled a hole through the dining room wall and did not inform us of this. Have called into the office and ask to talk to a supervisor and never received a phone call back. I informed the lady on the phone what had happened. Upon his completion he did not inform them on how to use the cable boxes or anything like that. Had just been like okay and left.

    So we had the Cox cable for a while then our cable wasn't working and ask someone to come out. They said they would come out and inform us before they arrived. I got a call from the tech saying he was in the driveway. Told him if he could give me 20 minutes I would be there. He said. "No. I'm not going to wait." So I called into the office and they wanted to schedule me three days out. So with numerous problems from Cox Cable I switched to Dish and had nothing but great experiences with them.

If I don't PRE-PAY them by July 10th, I get another 8.95 tacked on my account for the late payment charge... ok cool but I haven't received the "full service" yet so how am I late to pay you for something I have yet to receive? What if I cancel my services early? Do I get Pro rated and my money returned for the days I didn't have cable? In which case I'm still being penalized 8.95 for not Pre-paying you. This is a SCAM just like everything Cox does... they have been raping people for years but because they have a monopoly on cable they do what they want or you get a Dish. Shame on Cox.

Had to talk to 8 or 9 customer service dumbell, everyone said the same thing, "I can help you." First bill was 307.00.

Bill is 307.00, no one knew why, and a rep. don't know the answer. They hang up on you, and very rude. My service was cut off last week, but if I paid the 95.00, it could be turn on immediately.

I go on the chat line and encounter employee after employee that refuse to tell me why my service was not installed. Long delays on hold. It was a chat that never accomplished a thing. The individual unbeknownst to me selects an install date of his own. July 13, 2017 between 8-10 a.m. I told the rep during the chat that I had other pressing matters to handle the week of July 10, 2017. I would not be available. Why should I wait beyond the promised date for the phone install. There was time on the afternoon of the 8th to send someone immediately out for the install that I am certain takes only a few minutes. But this was not done.

    I phoned back several hours later because it was imperative I have my phone installed as promised. The individual promised me an e-mail later that evening with the time of the install now on Sunday. No e-mail was ever sent. No installer scheduled for Sunday either despite the promise. It is now late Sunday evening and still no word. Are we as customers with pristine accounts paid in full supposed to accept this treatment? I will add that my family has been a customer since Cox begin. Cox went door to door giving away cable boxes to get customers. That was 55 years ago. This situation with me is a tragedy. It involves some serious issues in my life that need attention immediately. I have no cell phone. I shouldn't nor will I go to a pay phone. So I ask again where is the phone installer???

    My experience is very similar to Baron in Scottsdale, AZ. They get you locked in at a bundled rate and then you get a sticker shock bill after a period of time. You then call in to complain about the massive increase and you are given another bundled rate, only the new bundle is priced higher than before. Rinse and repeat. I have been a customer of Cox Communications for over 5 years. On or around May 22, 2017, I called their technical support line because I was having a technical issue with my DVR box. The representative, unsolicited, told me about a customer loyalty package that she wanted to offer me because I had been a customer for over 5 years. Ultimately, I was quoted at $124.99 plus tax for internet, television, and phone service. This would have amounted to a reduction of approximately $40 from the bill I was paying for television and internet.

    I EXPLICITLY asked her to confirm that my other services, such as DVR and HBO, were included in this $124.99 plus tax quote. She acknowledged that yes, it did. When I went to pay the bill, I was shocked to see that the total charges were a staggering $232.05. The amount I was paying previously was about $185 per month. Clearly, I never would have consented to a change in services for any increase in price. I accepted the change because it would result in a reduction in my monthly bill. Thus, I called Cox to resolve on July 5th and 6th. I spent well over 2 hours on the phone talking to 5 different representatives. The first two acknowledged seeing the notes on my account regarding the quote. The second rep collected the $145 payment from me, which was the rough estimate of the $124.99 plus taxes and fees. However, upon being transferred to the billing and then to the "Loyalty/Retention" departments, Cox took a very different tone.

    They stated that the $124.99 was the base rate and did not include the DVR and other services that I already had. They refused to reduce the bill or even restore my services to the way they were prior without penalties and fees. Furthermore, they said they could not bring my monthly charges back to the $185 I was paying before this whole thing even happened, saying that the rate that I had before was now lost and gone forever. In fact, I was told that my charges would increase to $245 if they were to remove the pointless landline telephone service, and I would have to pay an $88 termination fee. This was a classic bait and switch. They made fraudulent representations to me in order to get me to consent to making changes in my services and now they will not honor the quote nor will they let me go back to the way things were before.

    Even more infuriating is that if I were to simply cancel service altogether, they are going to goon me with a bunch of termination fees. Be warned! Don't accept any offers made verbally by their representatives over the phone. If you must deal with this crooked company because it has a monopoly in your area, I suggest signing up for packages strictly online. Print each page so you have a record. That way, they won't be able to go back on their word. Better yet, just get Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime! To hell with them! ESPN will have its own streaming service soon enough as well.

This is unethical... to keep whittling the package down after one subscribes to it, and trying to force people up to a higher cost service. The only reason I stay with them is because there are no competitors and I want our local news which we cannot get from an antenna.

I said the bundle discounts are for having phone, TV and internet, not specific channels. I was told I am incorrect. So I said cancel everything but the internet then and then they said I would have to pay a 240 early termination fee, for my contract. I pulled out the original paper work that says no contract required for this deal and they still refuse to cancel my services without charging me a 240 early termination fee.

    This is one of the most crooked companies out there. The sad thing is the FCC is letting them get away with it and unfortunately for some people COX is the only option. Sounds like to me the FCC is receiving kickbacks from these ** cable companies. You can bet your ** that when October gets here, I will no longer have COX service of any type, ever again.

    I have had bad experience with the Cox Cable. When you call to keep in good with the company the phone operators are very rude. I have paid my bill every month but now they are charging me as if I haven't made payments. Instead of Cox getting better they are worst. Maybe it is the employees or maybe it is the CEO who knows but Cox is becoming a bad company rating it from one to ten as ten being very good and one very bad I would give it a one and a half.

    We have had more than our share of issues with Cox and their services since moving here 3 years ago and being loyal customers ("suckers" is more appropriate) for over 25 years prior. This last dealing is nearing the last straw! The tech solved the issue by the time he left, however, the issue re-occurred later that same day. More hours on hold and finally had to return the box to a retail location and do a self-install. Lost ALL my recorded shows. To add insult to injury my request for compensation resulted in an attempt to RAISE my monthly bill by $71.00. I had to negotiate to get it "down" to $190!! So, instead of a discount reward/compensation for being customers over 25 years, we were insulted. We are definitely looking for alternatives to COX. Very disappointed in the attitude of your retention people and the lack of value we seem to have as long-time customers who have NEVER been late with a payment in 25 years.

    I have made several complaints to the BBB from Cox. Every time, I have been right and they have taken 100's of dollars off of my bill, as the charges were bogus! However, I was told that I can have certain channels at a certain price, the executive office confirmed that I was in fact told this, but they would not honor it. The fees and added surcharges and taxes are RIDICULOUS!!!

    This company is basically stealing money from people. Who the hell wants a $200 cable bill every month. It's absurd. They charge a "franchise fee" just because they can. Also, I was told that they cannot guarantee any price. It can increase month over month and there is NOTHING anyone can do about it. Calling their call center, there is not enough space on here to explain how stressful it is. I have left work because of it before. They lie, the blind transfer, they let you talk to a "Sup" then they transfer you without you knowing. You have to start all over. They hang up on you. Most of them you can't understand. It is the absolute worse customer service experience I have EVER encountered. Ever. For that reason, I would rather not have any cable at all. I'd rather stare at the ceiling for hours on end then to deal with Cox and get to watch cable. COX IS A RIPOFF.

    So, for a year having problems with DVR service and have had signals sent, technicians out, cable replaced, new equipment... finally decide to get rid of them and they "give" me everything under the sun I want right? WRONG! I take the box in for the new Contour with DVR because they said the one I had was soon to be obsolete and the problem I was having was a known issue with the older models. Mind you this is after several phone calls and about 8 hours and 3 times being hung up on while on hold. This guy was so stoned, and stunk of weed- oh and he was the manager. So they give me a Contour after going over all the spiffy new things like talking to your remote you can do and off I go. I get home, install it and pull out the remote... not the right remote, not the right box!

    So I call and 4 hours later I get a new bundle with an extra discount and a tech will be at my house by 7 with new stuff! NOPE, they rescheduled the guy for 3 days out and didn't call me to tell me. So the long holiday weekend goes by with no service and I take box in yet again and get new one, the guy at the store is stoned out of his freaking mind yet again. Get home, box won't work. Have to get signal sent - still won't work. Tech will be out next Wed they say. This box and all its contents are about to be tinder for my fire pit! If I could get Fios where I live, I would but COX has the only option for internet. Bad service, bad training, bad managers, bad everything- this company is disgusting.

    We ordered cable for my 70 year old mom, she only has one TV and internet. She lives in a 400 sq foot apartment. When she got her first bill they put her at the highest level even though she told them she only wanted the basics. Mind you, they tell everyone they have to get a phone line or their bill will be higher. So I called and asked them to switch her to the 'silver level' and asked repeatedly, "What will her final bill every month?" I was told around $120 which was somewhat reasonable. Next bill she gets is over $200, she goes in person and explains to them that we changed the plan and this is too high and that we called and changed the plan. They said "Well the request did not go through" but they so they didn't call us and tell us??

    The girl at the counter is extremely rude. My mom asked to talk to the boss, he told her there's nothing they can do that a plan with the basic channels and internet, the minimum plan is $220, this is insane, how could this be?? They are breaking the law by telling you one price over the phone and then changing it to whatever is the highest amount they can charge people. They are also taking advantage of elderly people. They need to be reported. We are canceling today and going with AT&T Uverse/DirecTV.

    For 16 days I was going back and forth with Cox to get my internet fixed. It started with the first tech coming out and telling me I need ACC to come rewire everything due to the wires being bare and falling apart. I waited for a call from ACC (that never happened). I did an online chat with a rep who did not know anything and had an attitude, so I called and spoke with 2 more reps and a manager, the manager then stated that the first tech did NOT do the proper paperwork to get a contractor out there to fix my wires. So he then said he would send me another tech to come and re-look at wires to submit the paperwork (the second tech was the ONLY one who tried to help). So the second tech came and put in proper paperwork and told me give them time, they will call and come out.

    So I waited until Monday, I never heard anything so I again spoke with another online rep who stated they would be coming out that day between 3-5 so I waited, the tech who came out WAS NOT with ACC but another Cox tech who was BEYOND RUDE. He said "what's the problem", I asked him he did not have all the notes of what I have been going through? They said the next person to my house would know everything? He then said that he COULD NOT fix my wires and the proceeded to ask me where the box was and why was he even there? First of all it not my job to tell the techs where the box is. I just moved in and hell I don't even know, so I told him "Don't worry about it. If you can't fix it no need to be here, I'll call Cox back" and then I closed my door, he then proceeds to take a hammer and bang on the box and my wall waking my sick 4 month old up!!!

    I then call Cox and spoke with a wonderful lady (who heard my child screaming and the tech slamming on my outside box and walls with a hammer). She then asked me to put him on the phone, in which he became rude to her and she asked him to give me the paperwork for ACC, he did not give me the correct paper but gave me a what to expect paper. She then spoke with a manager and informed him of that tech and made a complaint on him so now, she said that she made sure the ticket was going through and my wires would be fixed this week, and noted my account very clearly with all the issues. So now at 10 pm my internet goes completely off (just so happens after the complaints). Now I pay 100$ a month for premium internet, I am supposed to be able to run 7 devices, I can barely run 1 on Netflix with my ethernet cable connect to my TV and modem right next to each other.

    So I then call and speak with another rep, who started to lie to me saying she does not know why my modem is not connecting to anything. She is showing all green bars, so I told her "Please stop. DO Not finish your lie. You are THE ONLY REP AND TECH OUT OF 7 THAT HAS EVER SAID THAT" and when I try to check my internet speed, my T.V's cannot even find the modem (also on your Cox internet check tool it could not find it either), she then "looks at a different screen" and say "oh no sorry, you're in all red, I think it's your modem", now I rent a modem from Cox, and never had a problem with it but now I am??? So she then says she will send another tech, I honestly did not want another tech, she then tells me no one could come for another 3 days, so again I told her "stop your ** and lying. I just spoke with an online rep who informed me of an appointment the next day."

    So she then all of a sudden finds an 3-5 on Sunday (amazing). I SAT ALL DAY SUNDAY WAITING and for some reason NO tech shows, I was out front of my house at 4:45 walking my dog, I came inside to a missed call saying I was not answering my door, I call back and said "how did I not answer?? I am out front??? He then tells me "Oh no." When I just called the tech was really there 30 min ago, now please explain why I would sit at my house and wait all day and answer my door for UPS and every other tech but not the one just switching out my modem??? So I then call Cox again who says they do not see the tech ever coming... so they send me to another tech to see where he is, ohh now he can't come till 5-7. Now I have sat home all day waiting, I moved my plans to wait for the 3-5 and he never showed so no I will not have him come back at 5-7.

    So I then get sent to ANOTHER manager who says it looks like he only waited 4 min and never opened his van door and they are sorry he did not give me time or opportunity to get my box, I told them to cancel the tech. I'll go in store. Now Monday I speak with another rep online who states ACC is coming out to fix my wires today. Do not worry it will be done. I left work at 9:30 am and sat ALL DAY and no tech came, I took pictures of my wires and all conversation from the last 2 weeks saying it will be fixed almost every day, but yet when I speak to the online rep today Tuesday and ask why no one showed??? MY ticket was magically cancelled??? Why??? How??? NO one knows why it was cancelled so even though I spoke with the rep and confirmed them coming out (I took pictures of our conversation saying it will be fixed) DO NOT WORRY, I left work LOSING MY MONEY, and no one came????

    I then proceed to call and speak to a manager today, the rep then tell me my husband cancelled the ACC tech, I said "no we were both on the phone we cancelled Sunday's tech for the modem and I spoke with the rep yesterday and confirmed for Monday to be fixed" (and gave them times and names). She then says "oh I see", so then I speak with a manager who does not know what he is doing at all, he tell me the ticket is closed. I asked him how I have a picture of my wires from today (Tuesday). He said there are no notes only ANOTHER ticket for someone else, so I ask who and when are they coming, he did not know and could not tell me anything, he could only tell me that is was not assigned. I was sitting in a "pool" he said I should contact Advocacy because there is nothing he can do!!!

    So I then to go online and find some contacts for Cox in the higher up department, amazingly I get a call that afternoon from ACC for an appointment on Thursday, and then the person I emailed called to verify my appointment, so now I am to be credited for the whole time my internet is out (16 days) and I had 3 different managers give me credits of 25$. So now today Friday I call to let them know my internet is fixed, please fix my bill so I can pay ( due on the 30th). I am told my bill is 172$!!! Now my reg bill is only 95$ and I'm supposed to be credited. What do you mean, they tried to charge me my full 95$, 25$ for self installation, 50$ for a tech installation (how did I install it myself, but a tech did too? So I'm being charged for two installs and a modem deposit, (now I just moved and brought the same modem with me so how can you charge me for a new modem I never got?

    So I inform the rep I am not paying for a whole month when my bill cycle is from May 10 to June 10th and I'm only getting 2 weeks of service. My internet did not work from 5-10 through 5-25, So I'll pay for my 2 weeks and installation, so HE does the math for my two weeks I should pay 43$ and some change. He then says "Oh I'll take the tech installation off but I have to leave yours", I said "What about my 25$ credit?" "Oh that's already applied" ... so then after we both did the math for 2 weeks at we will say 45$, he then tells me "OK your bill is 103$". WTF. Where did you even get that from? I AM NOT PAYING 103$ TO TURN AROUND AND PAY 95$ IN TWO WEEKS, MORE THAN MY MONTH OF SERVICE AND I AM ONLY GETTING TWO WEEKS!!!! I have every screenshot and conversation and lie in my phone. This is beyond ridicules and I'm over it!!! I will be hunting for someone new and leaving. This company has went to **.

    I think I have everyone beat on the worst experience with Cox. I made a payment online last month for my $170 bill and they then processed that payment for $50,917! No joke or lie, I have screen shots and my bank statements to prove it. I call them and of course got no explanation how their system did this. One of their managers apologized profusely and tells me that I will not be charged anything and I will be receiving free services and no fees will be charged, yet somehow since last week they say I owe them over $1,200 which include fees for a returned payment of $50,917 I NEVER MADE and threats of disconnecting my service if I don't pay. I have only had their service for 2 months! No way I would ever owe them that money. Like I said, that $1,200 they claim I owe them now is mostly fees for a fraudulent returned payment they tried to charge me. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

    It is illegal for them to process a payment I never made. And this happened on May 11th. After numerous phone calls the day it happened and talking to a couple managers I was told that the charges would be removed and I would receive credit for a couple months of service (which never has happened). But my account wasn't fixed timely, oh no, they filed paperwork with their corporate office to clear my account and that process takes 7-10 days. Ridiculous! I finally call yesterday, May 24, because my account still says I owe over $1,200 and they told me that their corporate denied the request to clear the erroneous charges. The excuse for this I was told was because it was an "online error". NO KIDDING. An error by Cox. When I go into my account and opt to pay amount due which states $170.99, that is what you think you're paying. Not $50,917!

    After again going around and around, I spoke to a manager who I dealt with since this began. She said that they talked to corporate and they would be removing the charges. Yet here we are, a day later and they are still on my account! I have contacted a lawyer and will sue them if they do not get this fixed, fast! BEWARE OF COX COMMUNICATIONS. They are a ** company who tries to rip people off, doesn't take responsibility for their mistakes and does not fix their mistakes.

    Please be very careful when you use Cox Communications. We have moved 3 times and I was supposed to be locked into a rate of $110 a month then. Now since moving they tried to pull a fast one and charge me $242 a month for internet and cable, so 2 days go by I get a bill for $484 for internet and Cable. At this point my ego is sky high and I am livid and so I called. The lady said all late fees would be waived since I was a day late and that they could not get my payment back to $110 as it was a promotion. Mind you for 8 years it was $110 a month and boom I move and it skyrockets but the lowest they could get it was $223 a month. I told them "Stick it where the Sun don't shine". She says "Ok please hold". Comes back 30-45 minutes later and says "Well the best I can do is $122.00 a month", so even at $122 your service sucks for the price I'm paying.

    I'm lucky to get 100 channels and my daughter can't even watch cartoons or PBS Kids. If I want to add these two thing it will take my bill to above $200 a month. Cox has their ways of putting it to you and I'm a very dissatisfied customer and do not know that I will be staying with Cox. One of their workers told me over the phone they lose 10 to 20 customers a day because they raise people's bill for nonsense stuff and they have no permission to. And by law can be punishable especially when I signed a contract that said I agreed to pay $110 a month, so I will be going to a Cox Communication system to get a box and return my equipment.

The first bill I receive was supposed to be $103 according to their website when I set it up. I receive the bill and it is $133. So I call them and they tell me that there must be a glitch with the system and the "maybe" the taxes were not added. Time comes to pay the bill and I pay $100 at the pay site and then come home and pay $34 using the card. The bill shows up a week later and says $234. I try to call and the won't speak to me because I put it in my husband's name. So it takes him a couple days to get around to calling them. By then he tells them that he wants to take everything off but the internet. They say that will lower the bill to $84 per month. Suddenly we get a bill of $301 in the mail.

    My husband calls them April 21st and tells them to turn off the service and he wants to pay it in full. The lady in billing says the bill is $168 and the will be sending a refund check of $33 when we return the equipment. Today I receive a bill of $157 and mind you the service is off. I call them once again and just request they send me an itemized bill to the address because I don't understand. Once again I'm told I'm not on the account. I said "What does it matter. I have the bill that you sent me in my mailbox. Just send it to the same address you've sent all my bills to that I call you about." I just don't have an understanding of the bill or how I can be billed these amounts for a service I've only had for this short period or for that fact when it's turned off and we returned all the equipment.

    Just spent one hour of my time (which I can never get back) at my local Cox Communications office in Las Vegas. I went in there for a change of pace from wasting one hour with Cox on the phone, my usual tactic. In Las Vegas, Cox has been advertising cable TV bundles starting at $89.99. This price includes 200+ stations, 50/5 internet, and a landline phone (Oh wow, a landline!). Also, free install and one free HD receiver box.

    For the same internet, no phone and 115 channels with two HD boxes, I am paying $133.00. I went to see if they could work something out so that I, as a loyal customer of 13 years, could get that $89 deal. But the rep said, "No way." As I am an 'existing' customer and the deal is only for 'new' customers. He did, however, offer me the same deal for the loyal customer price of $141.00! The only other choice was to cancel everything, wait three months and Presto! - I'm a new customer who qualifies! Does any other business other than the cable companies mistreat their long-time customers and reward the new ones? What school of business teaches this form of customer service? Even the Casinos here in Vegas give their loyal losers a t-shirt or a free buffet now and then.

    Cox is the worst. I called Cox to cancel my phone service. When I called the first time it was in the evening. The person told me my bill would increase by 100 dollars because of my bundle. They told me to call back in the am when the loyalty department was in. I called back and asked to cancel my phone. To my surprise the agent told me no problem. I asked him to confirm this several times. He confirmed it and said my bill would be reduced by 20 dollars. I asked him to disconnect the service on the following Wednesday as I was having my alarm service coming over on Monday to move me to wireless and I wanted to be sure it worked. The alarm company came over moved me to wireless. My bill for the alarm increased by 10 dollars a month. But I saw this as a wash because my bill with cable was being reduced by 20.

    On Wednesday my phone was still on. I thought maybe they disconnect at night. On Thursday it was still on. I checked Friday morning it was still on. So I called Cox. The agent I spoke to said my phone was never disconnected but reduced to a emergency line only. In addition the bill was never reduced by 20 dollars but only by 2. I explained to the agent that the previous agent assured me that my phone service would be disconnected. He said that was untrue because it was only reduced to an ER only line. So basically he was calling me a liar. I was infuriated. First I would have never moved to wireless with my alarm if my phone was not being cancelled. Second my alarm bill increased by 10 a month.

    After arguing my case and getting nowhere I asked for them to cancel my phone and cable all together. Only after my request did the agent reduce my bill by 10 more dollars. I cannot stand Cox. They screwed me over. I going to buy an HD antenna today to cut the service. I have been with Cox for 20 years. I am done with them. They have to win my service and they have not.

    Cox Communication is the most disturbing unrelentless commercial packed cable service in the United States. It's absolutely the most disgusting service I've ever had in my life. Constant commercials, you get a series of shows that continue to be the same ones over and over and over again, the hundred $50 a month and you have absolutely no other recourse but to watch commercials and TV at $150 a month. This is totally completely outrageous. It's so disgusting I can't even begin to tell you that basically we are paying for commercials. That's the bottom line and never mind the Contour because Contour gives you like nothing you think. They might add one little extra little Movie Channel once in awhile for $150 a month. You people are like deadly sharks.

    In Feb I called Cox to see if they could lower the bill for my mom. Reason was because my dad just passed away of cancer and my mom had a lot of medical bills to pay. The women I spoke to in the loyalty dept was wonderful and said they would lock her in a 2 year contract at the rate she was paying. So last month the bill went up again. This month it went up again.

    Called back and asked what was going on and to please pull up the recorded conversation with the person I talked to. I got basically tough crap and, "We don't have the recorded tapes. You have to go call their home office number." They were even less helpful and told me that wasn't what was written down. I told them, "Please check the recording." "We only keep the recording for 90 days." "Ok, it hasn't been 90 days please check the recording." "Nope we don't have it." Well they should have it since the recording wouldn't be erased until May. So basically I got a big ** from them. It's a shame they took advantage of someone who lost her husband of 50 yrs and is elderly. I am so upset right now, it's not funny.

    We moved to Pensacola a year ago last January. Chose Cox as at the time it was them or the satellite option. We had our own lifetime TiVo unit (No monthly charges for our own DVR) only needed some cards that click in the back to work with their system. Well it took the first day very good install. All new cables throughout the house. The day after had problems without TiVo connecting to Cox. Out comes a tech. He fiddled with it for almost 3 hours. Could not get it to work. Two days later (Mon) a Cox tech that had experience with TiVos. He got it working by adding some filter and reprogrammed the cards. Wasn't a month he had to come back. Set up different filters and it got better not perfect. To make this short, we had 18-20 visits to attempt to get the thing to pair up to Cox. I had TiVo check my unit and gave it a perfect condition report as Cox was saying my unit wasn't working.

    First they had me buy a new wifi antenna for it. Made no difference. I finally said look I'm spending just under 200 month for cable some premium channels no DVR. A plain box in living room and a different box in bedroom for the TiVo. Plus internet at 100 mbps. Plus basic home security system. Not a bad deal. But I'm paying for two cable cards and can't record a thing! So after 6-7 months I offer to save $$ for them supply me with their DVR and I'll put my TiVo into its box. That way they aren't sending techs weekly. So they agreed to only charge me 3 dollars a month for remainder of contract. So it was straightened out. I came to a point needed to cut my bill. Dropped premium channels and internet down from 100 to 50 mbps. My bill went down $30. It helped. But the wifi wasn't connecting half the time. Got a notice from Verizon our data was hitting the 6 GB per month.

    We're retired and don't use much Data. Rarely over 2 sometimes 3 gigs. I mean I couldn't get Facebook to open in my living room less than 10 ft from the router. So now have to have cell data off for everything minus phone map etc or we burn data sitting in front of Cox router!!! Their comment. "We sell internet service but do not guarantee wifi service." ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? So I visited a Cox location going to drop all but basic channels up my internet back to 100mbps, buy a wifi booster for the house. Finish the last 8 months of contract then just get Internet from the best reviewed company here in Pensacola. There are a few more choices for that. On being AT&T is one of them.

    Hope Verizon steps in as running our phones with my daughter and a 4th line for her mom (my ex) we get a 20% discount. With taxes and fees and 6 GB of data for our two phones the bill is right at 95-100. We've paid our iPhones with them. If I could get internet through them with our discount. That's where I want to be. FORGOT to mention our bill was at $175 after canceling some options. As of Jan 1st SURPRISE!!! It's now 208!!!!! Up 20 bucks higher than when we had 100 mbps internet and all the premium channels!!! Price hike I'm told! Well they best wake up. More and more companies are starting to serve this area. A few get in and COX is doomed!! I'll never sign up with them again!!

    First off... Orlando in customer service is awesome. He made a very frustrating situation so much better! I wish I could say there was no frustrating situation but he listened and helped me get it straightened out. Also I had internet issues on Easter Day. I called in to the customer service line and the rep was very kind and helped me out. I really appreciated that. They are only reason this review is a 4. They each deserve a 6/5. They are the only reason I didn't just cancel my business and go to the competitor.

    I was looking to get internet - as I use Netflix and don't need cable. My salesperson told me the cable internet phone bundle came with free installation and I could switch down to any other package anytime. The package I wanted just internet with the installation would have been exactly the same almost as the bundle which came with free installation, so why not have cable for a month right? I double checked that I could call and switch anytime. He said, "Of course." Also I have my own router. They charged me for it in my first months bill. I understand that happens so I figured when I called to switch down I would mention that.

    Fast forward... I called in to switch down to only internet. I knew it wasn't going to work with my budget as I just got a pay decrease monthly. I call in and they say I can't switch to that because I am no longer a 'new customer'. I call my rep. He says he has to talk to his supervisor. Eventually there is plan to have me return the cable box and remote and then they would 'see what they can do'. I said, "I will bring it back but I need you to tell me you will make this right." He said, "Yes I will." They will refund me for the router and fix my price.

    I returned it. That was 15 days after install btw. Over a week later still no details on how it is 'made right.' 8 days later he says it will be fixed. No refund for the first month, which I told them that is fine because that would cover the installation cost anyway. Then he says this month will be still the old price. Then drop down. I said, "No way. I am not paying for 2 months of cable and phone that I had for 2 weeks."

    I called in to customer service. Orlando said my bill this month is because there is another piece of equipment that needs returned and it's on my bill. My rep never told me about that. Orlando said if I can't find it he will send someone to get it free of charge. Also he said my router fee was never refunded and was still on my current bill. He took it off and refunded me from last month router fee. What a freaking mess. This has taken so much time and could have easily been avoided had the rep told me the truth or listened to what I wanted.

    Phone - Internet - basic cable w/ 3 mini boxes. Had the contour when I asked to reduce my bill from $220.00. The next bill came in at $245. Went and turned in the contour because I was not given anything like they display it is. Much more usable is the mini boxes. Still trying to cut the bill down. They are very hard to talk to without being beat up on in their offices on Bell rd. Made to feel stupid and dumb. All I want to do is reduce the bill. They have the best Internet around, but at a price. They know this and hold it over you. Was told if I don't like it, then switch... you'll be back.

    Prices always changing even if you have a 2 year contract with them. I canceled my contract and now they are worst. They lied to me about the price I was supposed to get and I'm not even getting the service. They want to send a tech over but I need to pay $75 for that. I spoke to a supervisor which her name is Jane employee number ** (maybe it's a lie too). She was even worse. She just straight out told me that they can't do anything about the service. If I want to downgrade the service the price will remain the same as what I'm paying right now. Or if I just wanted to cancel the service with them. So it seems like they don't even care about customers.

    I know I'm wasting my time complaining about a big corporate giant like Cox Cable. Being a "loyal" customer for over 28+ years (more like secret code/signal for customer won't leave so take advantage and feeling like a "sucker"). I know Cox have a monopoly - hard to believe we can still have this today's world in US. It would be criminal if you agree to a price and every time I called back it went up $10-$12 when quoted and how convenient my order is never in the system. When requesting an email confirmation on what we agreed to or call back number to representative answer, "We don't have email." (Cox is an ISP and internet provider, but do not offer email communication for CSR agents??? Strange isn't and you can never talk to the same representative twice either.)

    Every time call back, "Please give us 48-72 hours to update our systems." When I call back again quote a different price went up again $10-$15. I call back 3 times and my price quoted jumped from $179 to $199 including tax. Reason initial call was because my price went from $189 to $230 (for TV & internet) for no reason? CSR told me as a "loyal" customer (labeled on the phone), I should go for silver package bundle include TV, internet, phone to get better price because I'm paying too much for old equipment only 2 services. OK sounded like good ideas, so the black hole started. This took 3 frustrating weeks to get order completed and 2 weeks to install phone service because was given temporary phone number while waiting for my phone number to ported over. Yes, we had phone service, but anyone trying to reach me via my home number was getting "phone disconnected/ out of service". Basically, useless!!!

    The kicker was after reluctantly settling for $199 price including taxes and fees with CSR, when I got my statement bill, guess what... to my surprise $213. Again, another price increase, of course no written proof from my side, my word against Cox agent. Ridiculous, I would be sued as a small business owner and criminal act.

    So, do the math $10 times 100,000 subscribers = 1 Million addition dollars per month x 12 months... $12 million dollars SCAMMED from Cox customers. I don't know actual number of customers, might be a million households across US. Numbers are probably larger, remember I'm using $10 (usually increases are greater). So, the system is rigged against the individuals but if FCC looks at the larger picture they would find the act criminal. People don't want or get frustrated to speak up about $10+ bucks. Again, no decent communications with CSR agent, prices mysteriously just jump at random. Every time you call to complain about price, the agent tells me to remove mini-boxes or receiver change plans (always come out to same price for less services).

    Cox gives you the runaround, transfer another department. Always canned answers, really. I would love to change provider if I could, but I don't have another decent option available in my area. Cox is preserving the way they do business because it makes business ($$$) sense for them to make additional millions for nothing. Come on Google get the gigabyte network and give the cable companies a run for their money. Frustrated, waiting for solutions especially a game changer.

    We have had Cox going on four years now, I have had Comcast, Bresnan and Sat and Cox is by far the worst there is. We just upgraded to the contour 2 box and service and that's a joke with them, Comcast has their stuff together but not Cox. When they first came out to hook it up everything was OK for a little while, we had 2 contour, 2 dvr boxes and one client box (we record a lot). Our bill has been over 300 a month so we decided to cut back a little and try to get under 200. Well to do that we had to remove 2 boxes and only keep the 1 contour box, remove all movie channels, only local calls on the home phone (which we don't use just have it because without it our bill would be 40 higher). So basically we have the basic package they have, local home phone and internet (also a joke) and that got the bill to 212 a month. Still more than its worth for mediocre service.

    Our tv constantly loses signal, we pay for the 150 mbps internet speeds and we have only ever been able to get 35 to 40 on a good day. 12 techs have been out with no solution. When we got rid of the 2 boxes I took them to the Cox store and the idiot turned off the wrong box so when I got home the box was off. I called to have it reactivated but after 6 transfers they couldn't get it activated again. (Lost all my recordings) Guy came out to replace the box, the one he replaced it with was an old contour 1 box refurbished into a contour 2 box (bs). It lasted not even a week then took a crap (lost even more recordings).

    I was told that the reason Cox sucks so bad is because the lack of research and development. Comcast spends millions maybe billions on the technology but Cox takes shortcuts and spends a few hundred thousand to have old technology refurbished. He installed a new box yet again which brings us up to current. Bottom line is don't go with Cox if you have another option. They are a rip off and only care about their bottom line and do not care about their customers. We are about to move so we are cancelled our Cox and going with Directv. We are getting every channel, including all premium channels, internet for 80 a month for 3 months then after that we pay 50 more for the premium channels which is still only 130 a month compared to over 200 and having to cut back from our cable to get to that price. PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM COX. STAY FAR FAR AWAY. I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL REGRET IT DEEPLY.

    This has been the most unbelievable situation in dealing with a major corporation that I've ever had in my 57 years! We were in a major Natural Disaster, and was moving back into our home after losing everything, having coverage on our home, but not the contents. I say this because we were dealing with rebuilding a house and remaking a home, spending nearly our entire savings to refurnish a home. I've been with Cox for over 27 Years. I own my own DVRs (Tivos) but rent my CableCARDs and decoder adapter from COX so as to be able to receive service on my TIVOs and have access to COX On Demand. After moving back into our home we started to set up our electronics, but couldn't get our Cox On Demand to work. Tivo's have an icon for this service, and we use it nearly every night.

    I will sum up the 4 weeks of dealing with Cox CableCARD Specialist for hours and hours they would send a tech out. I'd always request No COX Contract Workers, as they Never know how to fix ANY situation, but due to the disaster, we are flooded with them. They were rude, argumentative, going so far as to call and Refuse to come out because 'their' supervisor said Tivo's do NOT get Cox on Demand. Finally I got a good Cox Tech who came out on Jan 13 2017 and informed me that he decided I needed new CableCARDs and Decoders and that he would set it all up and HE would come back on Monday the 16th (Let me interject here that my TV had been sitting on the floor, because we hadn't decided where we were going to mount it, and it's SO big, that it actually covers the front of the credenza that is full of junk that we were actually considering Leaving it in front of the credenza.

    This issue really has little to do with the story, as it was sitting there when every Other tech came out and there were no problems with it, and if they Thought it shouldn't be sitting on the floor, then they should Not have touched it (Just a little side point, in case someone wondered why the TV was sitting there)! Anyways, Monday rolls around and I get a call at 10:37 am from a phone with an Arkansas area code (479) (I'm in Louisiana) and the guy on the phone says "Hey your job just got dropped in my lap, because the Cox Tech is tied up at another job. I see in the notes that you do not want another Cox Contract worker coming to your home, but I just finished fixing the same TIVO issue, so if you WANT me to come Fix your problem I can be there between 3 and 5pm." Hesitantly, I accepted his offer. Oh how I wish I never made that decision!

    So he called me from a Different Arkansas Cell phone number, at 4:24 telling me that he was at my front door (my doorbell isn't hooked up yet) and I showed him my 60 inch Vizio television and we went through all the channels with him standing and watching it. I showed him the on-demand icon and he saw that it was not working. I also showed him the menu which shows the CableCARD/Decoder id numbers, serial number etcetera and he needed to look at the wires coming into the house. I walked him around the side of my house, through a gate, where the line comes from the 'tap'. He said that there were all sorts of issues with the installation prior to him coming there, that there were too many staples, he said and he just was not happy with the install so he said he needed to go and get something in his truck. So he went around the house in through the gate that he had initially walked through.

    I came in through the Bask door and went into my bedroom completely bypassing the living room where the TV was. I heard him enter the home through the front door and I heard a crashing sound and I heard him say **. So I went into the living room where he was standing in front of the TV and I said "What's wrong" and he said "Oh you don't get On Demand and I've already talked to my supervisor." I looked down at the TV and it was cracked and had a huge black bar running vertically with my electric screwdriver pointing to the crack that was causing the big black band!!! I asked him what did he do to my television and he said, nervously, "What do you mean" and I said "You don't see the giant crack in the TV and the black band across the TV and the screwdriver that Obviously fell when you were moving the router and the modem and the decoder around on the credenza!!!" and he said "Oh I thought you did it."

    Needless to say, I became a little irate and called Cox at 4:40 PM telling them the story that has unfolded, and then the Contract Worker became irate and said that he was calling his supervisor and I said "That's fine with me!" I was told by the lady that answered the phone and took the information down that she would submit this claim and "Don't worry Cox will take care of this because you have been a loyal customer of Cox for well over 24 years!" Well I only heard from Cox two times once to tell me that the ID number and the name that I had given were not the person that came to my home and I told them that I had no idea who came to my home.

    I just was given this ID number from the COX Representative that took down my claim (she Obviously was showing the COX TECH ID that was Supposed to come out, the one that came out on the previous Friday, and had promised to come back on Monday, but was unable to. So this Cox representative on the telephone who said he was a supervisor trying to 'figure out who was sent out to your house on the 16th'!!! I told him that I had the Cox Contract worker's 2 telephone numbers which he used to call me on that day!!! After giving him the 2 phone numbers, I told the supervisor that I did not appreciate the fact that Cox had no idea who they sent to my home that day, and that that seemed very irresponsible. He told me that he would call these numbers and would continue to investigate! He promised to get back with me within 48 hours. He never did.

    I called Cox every 48 hours and spoke with supervisors every time, 'escalating' the issue to a higher 'level'! Always being promised that I would hear from someone within 48 hours! Never did! I went into the Cox Store, always being told that I would be contacted within 48 hours, always Shocked and So Sorry that I was going through this and that there was no excuse for it, and that Cox just needed to take care of the problem and reimburse me for the TV! (I even offered to accept a credit to my account, because, needless to say, after 9 Weeks of this, I've gone out and Purchased a Replacement TV)!!! So Finally the local office sent a 'guy' named Chuma out to my house who said "I have no idea why I'm here, but I was just told to come talk to you"! I showed him the picture of the TV, with the electric screwdriver lying on the floor, in front of the TV, pointing to the crack, and the black band that ran vertically up the TV from the crack.

    (The TV was still ON) I showed him the actual TV with the crack, I showed him my Verizon Call Log, showing every time I called Verizon, the phone numbers of the TECH and the Times he called, and the phone call I MADE to report the accident TO COX 16 Minutes later! He also saw the call log showing my phone calls TO COX every 48 hours! I showed him the receipt for the TV and he left saying "Look, I can't make the call on this, but from what you've told me and from what you've showed me, I can't Imagine Cox not taking care of this. We are a multi-BILLION dollar corporation, and I can't imagine them not offering to replace your equipment or reimburse you in some way"! Of course, NOTHING!

    So I filed a complaint with the Baton Rouge Better Business Bureau, and was given 2 names and phone numbers of supervisors that I could call, one being Leigh **, a man that had been a 'client' of mine and who knew me well enough to know that I am a level headed honest person. He received an email from Cox Corporate office, called me, was Shocked and Appalled at how I had been treated, and said that I would be hearing from the person in charge of dealing with accidents that occur due to Cox negligence. 48 hours later I Finally Got a Call From the Cox Rep in Charge Of dealing with damage that Cox Caused, saying "Sir I am calling about your 'concern' about an incident that occurred at your home, do you have time to talk?" I said, "Yes, Of Course!" He said "Well we just wanted to let you know that we are going to Decline your claim!!!"

    I was Shocked (why????). "Why?" I asked. His response? "Well sir, because the Cox Contract worker reported the incident to his supervisor and therefore we are going to decline to replace your $749 television!?!" What the Heck does that mean?? I responded "I reported the incident to the COX Representative 16 minutes after it happened, while the Cox Contract Worker was still in my home! His response? "Well, I understand your concern..." I told him that I was insulted at that statement. It was SO asinine and basically was based on Zero facts and just Cox flippantly deciding to Not reimburse me for the damage done to my property by a Contract worker that I don't even have a Contract With. I have a 'contract' with COX, and they should be supporting and protecting my interest from a secondary company representative that COX sent into my home. He stood his ground.

    I told him, truthfully that I have a Small Claims Case form filled out, ready to file with court on Monday, and I have a friend who is an attorney that is willing to represent me in court, to recuperate the cost of the Television that Cox's Contract Worker broke, the Cost Of Court, and the Cost of loss of service to this TV". The Cox Rep said he understood. I hung up! Can you believe this... Yes you can! As you all have had dealings with this company. So why don't I Switch To AT&T??? Because as you all know, they are junk! Everyone I know that switched to AT&T hates them and goes back to COX. Also COX allows the use of TIVO's and AT&T do Not! I have $3,000 tied up in my Tivo's and prefer them to Cox's DVRs! So what do we do? I have no idea. If I win this case, they will probably drop me as a customer! LOL Thanks for reading this. It always feels better to vent!

Was told I would be getting a cardboard box to return my cable box (which will not stay powered on) but I had to call Cox because they never submitted the order. Was told a supervisor would call me. He called but I hung up on accident called him right back. He didn't answer. Called cox again and he was gone for the day. They really don't care. On top of billing issues channels break up and the contour remote sucks. The batteries run out every wk because it's touch sensitive and lights up even when you don't use it. I feel like wasting my money. I will be taking my business elsewhere if this is not resolved. I feel very devalued as a customer, and feel cox is not concerned for the customer. Please help.

    I kind of feel like the odd-man-out. My experience with Cox has been for over 10 years and I kind of like them. It's not that everyone knows exactly what they are doing. It is that the next person you talk to wants to/tries to help. In the 10 years I've gone from pure analog to mini-digital cable boxes and finally to cable cards. Other than analog, I've had problems with the others. However, they basically seem to want to help, to fix the problem. I guess my most negative review would be that I had a team of technicians in my house trying to figure out why my cable cards didn't work. They kept focusing on my equipment and I tried to explain that the two cable cards I have are tied into 2 separate pieces of equipment.

    The problem had to be downstream. After hours of troubleshooting, they figured out that the problem was downstream, replaced the underground cable and all was well. So my only real complaint is that the technicians are following a strict procedural book. It would be nice if they explained to the customer that the "basics" had to be checked before moving on. Kind of frustrating when a person knows they are "barking up the wrong tree".

    Horrible company to deal with. We signed up for a 2-year bundle 6 months ago. Then, they rendered our 2 smaller tv's in the bedrooms useless by requiring extra equipment to have them work at an extra charge of course. They have also increased the rates twice in 6 months. Service goes out frequently and half of the Contour features don't even work. Only 1 phone works in the guest bedroom and you cannot hear well. My cell service is better! Will not be renewing! Write letters, called, and filled out their surveys. No one cares.

    Be very careful when you sign up for Cox services. The agent, who showed up at my home, omitted a lot of important information. For instance: Unlimited internet is not unlimited. It's 1 TB a month. Then they charge you. Cox does not have a lot of channels that Verizon Fios has. The Cox agent promised to give me international channels as part of my package. But I was billed $70 extra. The phone is VOIP - not a traditional landline as this agent seemed to suggest. Also, their Contour App will not let you play DVR-ed shows on your tablet. So make sure, you research everything before you sign up. I am still mad from all the omissions. Plan to go back to Verizon in a few months. Their customer service sucks, but their internet has a cap of 5 TB a month, better channel selections.

    With crediting my bill it takes 30 day for the billing it was paid and then you're always seem behind and next they prorate the bill like a taxi meter. Each day you have not paid it add up but have not made transparent to me the customer. It is a legal practice so if you have a bill 146.50 and you paid it three day later it would have average to be 180. So you wonder how they get away with scamming.

    DO NOT CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH COX!!! They're out to get your money, and that's it. The only thing they're good at is misleading people with the goal of taking your money. I stopped my service a month ago because I moved to an area they don't service but instead they put 'transfer service' in their system. A week after I stopped my service I returned all the equipment to the local Cox office and that's when I found out how sleazy they are. I made sure that they terminated my service and in fact, they told me I will be credited $55 that I will receive in about 4 weeks. It's been a month now. And today, Cox sent me an email saying my auto payment didn't go through.

    Well, thankfully, my debit card was stolen, that's why. Otherwise, Cox would've taken my money from me even though I stopped my service a month ago! WHAT THE HELL???!!! I stopped it a month ago and they are still trying to bill me!!! Again, do not conduct business with this sleazy company. They're awful and they suck!!!

    First off all my service with COX has been HELL since I started with them. I was told deposit of 67.00 for to start service but I was told 150.00 by a rep once I called with a different issue. Cox has added fees and unknown charges to my account since I started making my bill almost 200.00 each month. I've been on maternity leave and I needed a courtesy of just a few more days to make a payment in full. The agent in collections was so nasty and rude, wasn't customer friendly whatsoever and refused to help and chastised me about not paying my bills in full but making half payments here and there, regardless bill was still being paid. COX is a horrible service I will never use again and I do not recommend. I'll be damned paying 200 a month for basic cable and internet. ** COX. COME GET THIS ** EQUIPMENT.

    We set up a simple internet service account with Cox in Gainesville, FL. All was good until the end of the promotion, which was NEVER discussed in the account setup discussions. The price per month doubled. We called and were told that everything goes increases in cost like that, so don't worry about it, it is normal. We also were told that we could not qualify for another promotion because we were existing customers. Since our Gainesville home is a second home, we were ready to cancel and they suggested that we put the account on "vacation" at $5.99 per month, and when we return to Florida we can simply take the best promotion and they will turn on the internet again.

    We paid six months and yesterday I called to find out what the new promotional rate would be. Then, and only then, they told me that the promotional rate was $2 less than the rate they were raising it to prior to wasting the $36. And, no, we can't get another promotion because we are already customers. They transferred me to "account rescue" and I got another runaround, but not anything close to a significant discount.

    I closed the account and enrolled with a competitor at half what Cox wanted, which is a promotion rate for non-customers that will last a year... then we will play their game and go another provider for a new promotion time, then switch when that is up. I refuse to twice as much because I am a "loyal" customer. Cox internet service was ok, but their customer service is slick, telling you half truths and leading you into spending more than you wanted. Don't need that. Cox is officially on my list to NEVER again do business with!

    It has happened to me couple of times. Every few months, for example, before March 2016, Cox increased my Internet bill without notifying me. When I called and complained, they refunded me the difference of the months they overcharged me. Then in October 2016, they increased again. I didn't notice that until this time, they increased the bill one more time in March. I don't want to keep calling to complain and ask for a refund. I am ready to disconnect to service. There are other better companies with better ethic than this one.

    In the last 3 months, my bill has gone from 289 to over 525 a month, and it is totally ridiculous that we can't get other services because of them, something with the rules that another cable provider can't come into a arena. Totally crap. I think that is what they call a Monopoly!!! Quality hasn't changed in much in over 5 years but billing has gone sky high. Internet speeds went from 250 meg to 500 meg and the bill went from 49.95 to 129.95 and for what. Still slow speeds and equipment that is 2 to 5 years old. Come on get real Cox!!!

    This is total BS, but yet the Cox supplies the stadium with this big elaborate system to televise the game over the internet and yet homeowners have to put up with old equipment and slow internet speeds and same old tv service that went out in the 80's!!! I have the HD channels and yet there is no difference in the HD channels versus the standard channels. The only thing different is the price. I'm so fed up with Cox I can't see straight.

    I rely on streaming movies and online gaming for my entertainment, so when it comes to choosing an cable/internet service package, I prefer 45 mbps or better without any cable channels. Anything I want to view is easily found on Netflix, or in my DVD collection. My first year with Cox was decent. When I lived in Buffalo, NY, Time Warner was far better, but Cox was a decent alternative for when I relocated to San Diego, CA. I didn't want the cable channels, but it came with the internet package with the high-speed internet at a price that I was okay with, so I stuck with it.

    A year later, my monthly bill doubled. I called Cox to make adjustments to the service plan, because if I wasn't going to watch cable TV, then there was no reason to pay that much more money for it. The Cox customer service rep had explained to me that my first year with their services came at an introductory rate, and that even if I changed the plan to high-speed internet only, it would still cost a little more than what I was used to per month, and talked me into keeping basic cable in my package, seeing as how it was only a monthly difference of $5, which I was okay with. Shortly after, I suffered greatly from connectivity issues. I had to give up on online gaming altogether, after just buying a $1200 computer to enjoy it on. I was still able to stream online movies, but I noticed more buffering pauses than I did before these changes were made to my services package.

    All this while, I had thought that it was simply my geographic location, as there are spots around the building in which my cell phone wasn't capable of connecting. This changed when I moved into my new residence across town just yesterday. A Cox field technician visited to get me set up, but he when he attempted to test my internet quality, he said, and I quote, that my service package "wasn't provisioned correctly". I asked if this meant that I had been paying for 50 mbps while only getting 15 mbps, at which point, he suggested that my router may require replacement. He then offered to help me move some of my furniture from the U-Haul truck outside, which basically told me that he was trying to avoid a confrontation as best he could, which I can understand.

    This morning, I attempted to speak with a Cox representative via their online chat forum, and when I addressed the issue, the chat rep told me that the area was experiencing outages. When I asked if these outages can last to up to five months (since my service changed in September), the rep told me that it was best to send a field technician to examine further. The field technician was just at my new residence yesterday, and this online chat rep simply didn't have a canned response to that.

    I could tell that she was filling the chat window with default text and scripts that related to my questions. She then asked if I had any other questions, and did not give me adequate time to respond. She quickly closed the chat, and I was prompted to participate in a survey. I expressed my frustrations, but at the end of the day, I'm still paying top dollar for bottom-level service, and there are no other cable services providers that operate within this neighborhood.

    I don't know WHAT happened to this company, but I originally was with them in '87 to '11. When I moved back & got reconnected, EVERYTHING went wrong from day one. Was not given the correct bundle that I was promised & I called EVERY month for the 1st 3 months. Well, they ended up charging me almost $30 more than what I was promised, but then, after 3 months, the bill inches up 10.00 or so & they have no answer. I was supposed to get gift card of $200 but they had some ridiculous reason why I missed out on that. I finally was able to get that toward my bill. Then the 1st yr of promotion ends & right before, they connected me to "loyalty" dept to see about getting bill dropped.

    They guaranteed it was be $158.11 for next yr & I even had them connect me to billing to make sure they were on same page, as this price ALWAYS is different... and they did, $158.11 for next yr... within 2 wks, my bill went to $204.24! These people are cruel, relentless, money hungry, dishonest, etc. I cannot wait till my next yr is up. NEVER NEVER NEVER go with these people. I used to really like them. Directv is 100% better than they are. Now here is the final straw...I had been arguing & trying to deal w/ them for 2 days. We finally agree to numerous different things, one being that the $8.50 HD box would be taken out of bedroom & replaced w/ the mini box, meaning just basic.

    The guy would be out the next morning 8:00 AM. I go to bed, & no service. They disconnected it, even tho I still had my box! They refused to reconnect because that would make the deal I made w/ "loyalty" null & void & I'd have to deal with them all over again in the morning!!! I cannot believe this company. I have been on the phone w/ them at least every month about something & then it's always 45 min to an hr. How can we start a class action lawsuit with these people.

    As a 63 old retired individual went to Cox Cable and requested the basic cheapest service I could afford. They placed in a 2 year $86.00 a month. I bill went up to high $80, then low $90, then 96, then 97, and finally to $117. All within a year. After calling and visiting the store on tropical ave, in Las Vegas. They kept blaming the person that handle the account last. After putting in complaint with the BBB, a representative from Arizona called and said after reviewing the account he was going to waive the increase and that the was going to stay at $97 for the remaining of the contract.

    The bill for the next month $97.00. The following month back $117. Went back to store the manager told me. "You didn't get the service here cause the store wasn't open a year ago". Lied. Even after showing him the receipt. He told me, "these are your choices channel 1 thru 19, for same money. Or keep the service you have for $150 a month". No respect. And yes I'm in the process of another BBB complaint. These is the worst cable service I had since cable TV was invented. People stay away from this terrible service.

Nowhere (I have the contract I signed) was I informed that the price would increase after 1 Year. I was paying $107.24 but after September 2015 the price went up to $128.53, was given $10 credit and told it would only be $10 extra for the package. However come October/November it went up to $141.90 and I was rudely told on the phone that "Cox could not negotiate a contract with the NFL". Really with Arthur Blank on their Board that sounds odd. Since I cannot cancel my contract I am now stuck paying $ 141.90. The reason I am filing this complaint today is that I saw an ad for a two year contract in the AAA magazine again not mentioning that the Sports package can change. There is no proper disclosure to the Consumer.

I was told I would be receiving at least 20 channels that I "conveniently" never received. Had to call customer service & fix it, they tried to charge me more for it. Finally fixed it after 5 phone calls & speaking to several managers. My other huge problem is billing. I have always paid through the automated system & seemed to have no issues. January 13th I made a payment, they didn't take the fees out until 3 weeks later after sending me a confirmation number saying it had been paid. They over drafted my bank account by $80 because they tried taking a payment out 3 times. Then added other charges to my account in the meantime. Now they say I owe them $400.

    They wouldn't help me out at all & all they said was that they could submit a form to have the charges taken off, but yet they want me to pay the past due amount to "avoid disconnecting services." I was in the phone with a representative, transferred several times & then hung up on when transferred to collections.

    I have been with Cox Communications on and off for years. Off when I moved out the State or Country for work. I came back with Cox Feb 1, 2016. Always pay my bills on time. My husband passed April 27, 2016. I soon moved to another location. Again paid my bill, returned my equipment from previous location. I called to reconnect. Got me hooked up within a week. Paying my bills with them soon as I get them. I was viewing my credit report!! Bam! Says I owe Cox $62.00. No way. I brought the equipment back and called them telling them I currently am a customer. When I shut off service at last location I brought equipment in, paid my final bill. They couldn't understand why if I didn't bring the equipment back it would only be $62.00. I said exactly one point.

    The next point is I called and got service in a new location. Explained my husband had passed. Everything. Told them the day I returned the equipment they were showing Muhammad Ali's funeral on their tv's as I waited for help with customer service. I even went into detail why would COX put me back on with an account if I was not in good standing. They would have made me or any customer pay if they owed a bill of any sort. Cox has been known to do this return of rental equipment to many many people. That actually return their equipment and months later find on their credit report they owe over $700.00. This has been a problem for many Cox customers. My problem is I pay my bills, I like many returns my equipment. Mine is suspicious due to the fact they are trying to claim I owe $62.00 which is very cheap for their equipment not being returned. Which it was returned.

    I will dispute and fight Cox for one reason. I do not owe them. I returned my equipment. I have ask them to get their security surveillance. The day I brought the equipment back. ACCORDING to Cox they are trying to do that but it takes time!! Really 7 months, and they are in the security business???? Wow. Cox sucks. I am sorry to say I pay them between $189.00 and $203.00 per month as I speak. Every month. But why would they allow me service if I owed an equipment bill. According to them they can't answer that.

    I am looking into another reputable company that can provide service. Cox sucks in billing wrong bills. Cox service sucks. Where I live there aren't many options. Soon as I can find another service. Go to hell Cox. You take people's money and lie. Oh by the way Cox has problems all the time. Tonight for example everything is on an outage.

    I am so sick of dealing with Cox Cable! They are money hungry and do not care about their customers whatsoever. My bill goes up every couple of months. I've asked if there's anything I can do about this and I'm always assured that I am getting the best rate possible. I don't understand why I have to pay more money every couple of months for the exact same service. I only subscribe to Internet and phone and it's now up to $125 a month and steadily rising. That's only the midgrade Internet and phone with no extra options on it. Ridiculous! What has really set me off though is the fact that we recently moved to a new address and I had the service transferred. The house we moved into was already cable ready so Cox did not even need to come out and install anything. They were able to do everything from the office with the push of a button. All I had to do was move my equipment and plug it in.

    Well I got the bill today and the bill is $222. There was a one time fee of $100 plus another $25 for surcharges, taxes and fees. I was told that there would be a "small" one time fee would appear on my bill for the move, but I had no idea that it would be $100 along with another $25 worth of BS surcharges and fees. $100 is not a "small" fee to me, but I guess it is to Cox. We get our TV through DirecTV and they sent a technician out to install the satellite and set up all of our equipment completely free of charge after the move - yet Cox is charging $125 for pushing a freaking button! First thing tomorrow morning I am going to see what my other options are for Internet and phone. I am really sick of dealing with this money hungry company.

Right from the start it hasn't worked right and the customer service is abysmal. I come home from work the first week to collections calls from Cox threatening to shut off my service for non-payment of the previous customer that had the recycled number. When I called them back on the Cox phone I was asked to call them back from a landline because the connection was so bad. At which point I explained it was the Cox landline. I was also informed I would need to speak to collections about having the number removed from the collections list. This process can only be compared to the Inquisition. You would think they would remove the number from their collections list before recycling the number. But alas, that would be good customer service.

    The internet, cable and phone seldom all work. We have had multiple techs out and the house rewired. It still doesn't work. I called today because I am seriously tired of paying so much money to watch pixelated shows, a phone no one can hear me on and rings nonstop with collection calls for the previous customer and no internet and 2 service calls with no show technicians. Today I have been transferred 3x, got yet another guy to "reset" the box as if that is the problem. He tells me to hold on the line so he can transfer me to billing for a credit.

    Original Review: Jan. 26, 2017

    I have had Cox Cable for 20 years, including their bundle, and I finally have arranged to switch to DirecTV bundle for approximately $50 less per month than Cox plus I will be given a $150 gift card to Walmart. When I called Cox to arrange a discontinue date for all Cox services, Chevella of Cox was polite but very insistent to keep me and try to match the DirecTV price. Couldn’t do it no matter how she did figures and deals, and could only reduce the monthly amount by $10 and she admitted she can’t offer a gift card. She immediately began to read off a script about the negatives of DirecTV (and it was obvious she was reading from a script) and I finally stopped her and said DirecTV notified me of all of that, and I have already signed a contract with them. She said oh and in a few seconds began the negative script about the 2 year fee that I would have to pay DirecTV if I canceled, and at that time I quoted her the price I would have to pay for that cancellation.

    That seemed to stop the negative script. I felt like Cox didn’t realize that they also provide contracts to customers that have cancellation clauses too. She wanted to know why I was cancelling and I told her that Cox is not competitive price-wise with other companies and they should be providing better deals to keep their long-time customers. She indignantly said Cox is certainly competitive (and I had just proved to her that Cox was NOT competitive with at least DirecTV).

    By that time I was just wanting the discontinuation of services and to set the date for the termination of services. I have the switch effective from both Cox and DirecTV scheduled for the beginning of next month and I’m hoping that the DirecTV bundle will work out because price-wise it is so much cheaper than Cox. I know I’m a senior, but don’t use a script about other companies as a sales trick to try to keep customers, and it is about time for Cox to be honest that they also have cancellation of contract clauses and not to be indignant when someone answers politely why they are switching from Cox.

    Years ago we had Cox & seemed like every month the bill was more. So we gave At&t/U-verse a try. It was fine but the internet seemed to be getting slower so thought we would try Cox after hearing they had improved. Big mistake! Compared to Cox At&t/U-verse is like the difference between the 1st & last in a marathon. Since starting in April 2016 with Cox it has been one problem after another. The DVR will not record by "all episodes" except for about 4 programs & even then it may not record all of them. It has to be done one episode at a time & it will occasionally record a program from another channel that was not selected. Now it stops recording before the end of the show. I did double check everything including extending the time period for the start & stop, enough space & no conflicting recordings.

    Did call numerous times but always get the same. Reset this, reset that. After doing the same thing each time, it obviously is not going to help the next 5 times either! AT&T would have already replaced the box the 1st time. Also the internet is extremely slow most of the time & is very erratic. Was not informed of their voice mail account but finally figured it out when not receiving all messages on the home VM. All I am waiting for is my husband to choose from other options but if not by today, I WILL choose!

    As I read the other complaints about the customer service level of Cox, I realize I am not alone with the frustration I have with Cox. Back in November 2016, Verizon was soliciting for our business. We have been a customer with Cox for over 20 years. We called Cox and asked if our monthly bill could be reduced since the Verizon offer for new clients was significantly lower. They told us they wanted to keep our business and quoted us a reduced rate over the phone. My husband quoted the monthly fee back to the customer service rep and verified the amount.

    Since our monthly payments are automatic it took until January to realize we were not receiving the new rate. We experienced a runaround when contacting customer service by the rep attempting to review our service and recommend service cuts to get the monthly fees down and could not reconcile to the earlier quoted fee. I talked to several reps and continued to get the same answer. We kept asking for a supervisor which they ignored the request. The rep checked the service order from Nov and said a change request of services was entered but no indication of adjusted reduced fees and that reps do not have the authority to guarantee the reduced rate. Either the Nov rep was not competent or just wanted to get us off the phone.

    Finally our stress level (mainly my wife) escalated to anger and demanded to talk to a supervisor because we know the support calls are recorded. If they quoted us a price they should honor it. Of course no luck getting one to the phone. I guess they are exempt from talking to consumers. We were told we would get a callback within 72 hours but guess what? A week has passed and no response. I honestly think Cox has gotten too big and arrogant to care about their customers specifically home accounts. They need to realize people with home accounts work in corporations and some of those people are responsible to make the decisions to utilize Cox as a service provider for the corporation. We are moving to Verizon.

Every month the due date changes with a previous charge added after I have paid my bill then I have to call as always to talk to them about being over charged and also 2 different due dates and one in red that says account past due when I paid it and I know I paid it because I mail the bill from the post office. I have been with Cox for more than 8 yrs. now and they know this and everyone I talked to says that Cox done them the same way.

    I am really mad right now so I will end this now but there is so much more I would like to add. But last I would like to say that, There has got to be some way that these crooks will have to go to jail for ripping off the elderly and disabled and the American people who work so hard for what they have and for crooks like this to create false statements should be punishable by law. I will end with this... Does anybody out there know any reasonable tv internet phone providers other than Cox or AT&T? They are another story... but Cox knows that they are the only ones in certain areas so they pull this kind of legal/illegal billing on Americans the has got to change or else.

    On Friday, Jan 13 at 10 at night Cox Cable came out to my backyard to fix some problem with their box and when they did that my phone service was cut. I live with my 89 year old grandma who is disabled and during the day she is home alone while I work. We have called every day since the phone was cut and they all say that this is a top priority and it will be fixed asap. Here it is Tuesday night and still no service. I just called Cox and talked to a rude person and he said they will be out tomorrow and there is nothing else he can do. He argued with me non-stop about the phone service being cut on Friday night and wouldn't take ownership of his company's wrongdoing.

    So Cox does not care about their elderly disabled people. Cox has cocky people that work for them and doesn't care that a disabled 89 year old doesn't have service. If there is an emergency my grandmother does not have a phone to use. She does not have a cell phone because she has home service. If the Cox workers had not come to my backyard on Friday to fix something, we would still have home phone service. I'm lost for words and don't know when they will come out to fix the problem they caused.

    I live in Eureka Springs, AR and this entire town is being held hostage, so to speak, by Cox Cable. Our town has no other choices for internet providers and Cox Cable knows it, so they don't feel like they have to do anything to change the horrible connections here. Our internet and everyone else's in this town goes out up to 14 times a day. Credit card machines don't work, internet goes down, everything is sluggish at best when it is working. They could spend the money to fix it, but since they have no competitors here, they won't. Local businesses go hours without being able to use their credit card machines on a daily basis. Everywhere you go here you can hear tales of woe about the evil tyrant Cox. Definitely one of the worst companies I've ever encountered.

When I call to advise they told me I would have to send a copy of my bank statement showing the deductions. OK no problem, but then tells me it can take up to 5-7 business days to complete research and then another 5-7 to have ADDITIONAL DEDUCTION credited back to MY account, until then service cannot be restored!!!

    Once again Cox increased my bill for an internet/tv/phone bundle. I go through this billing increase on an average of once/3 months. This time I spoke to the both a customer service agent and a "loyalty" program customer service rep (we have been with Cox for 31 years) and they were adamant that there is nothing they can do other than downgrade my services. I feel that Cox has downgraded their services already. My internet is slow (technician confirmed after modem reset) and some of the TV channels that we used to have are no longer aired on Cox.

    It is a shame I have to leave Cox but since AT&T has moved into my area, I get can get better services, phone with voicemail, fiber optic internet, all of the premium channels, and a $200 gift certificate (I have my cell phone with AT&T) for less money for 24 month contract. I confirmed prices with AT&T. I called Cox again and asked when the best time is to put in the disconnect notice, they gave me the date. They said "goodbye", not even a cursory "sorry that you are leaving Cox". If Cox does not do something in the customer retention arena they will not survive the competition.

They have monopoly in Louisiana and can do whatever they want and they do: every 6 months "promotion" expires and prices are going up on average 15%. This is white collar gangsterism, not business.

My social security hit once a month. They took the 269.00 payment, turned off my service an hour after the payment was made. Now are holding my account hostage until I pay another 215?!? So you make a payment arrangement with a customer then take the payment and turn off the service! What kind of payment arrangement is that? I've never in my life had a company lie to me to get a payment. Then they take it, turn off my service and tell me I have to pay 215 then I have to wait 10 days to have services turned back on?

    I am 55 and live in the Seattle area. My folks live in San Diego and are in their 80's. I help them with their TV programming as my Father is hard of hearing and my Mother has dementia. I signed them up for Cox service protection $6.99 per month in Nov 2016 which covers service calls on all equipment. Shortly after that they needed some help programming a remote. One month later I get a call from my Dad saying Cox had cancelled CBS and my Mother was having a panic attack from not being able to see her shows (Price is Right/Let's make a Deal).

So we switched to AT&T and upon closing my Dad's account they charged a $75.00 fee for closing the account within 3 months of enrolling him in their service plan.

    I originally wanted to determine if switching to the package deal of internet/phone/cable and Homelife would be more economical. We called to determine and they assured us of no hidden charges. When the technician came to install it, he had no idea of what he was supposed to do. Then he added on extra features that were not in the Plan. A camera that was not covered in the cost, more Cable channels etc. We tried for 2 months to figure out why the bill was so much and kept getting comments that they were still working on it. After calling for 2 months, they tell us that there is an additional service charge for the camera, more for the additional channels and also hidden installation charges. I regret opening the letter with the deal. If I had not, then I would never be stuck with such a raw deal from COX. After two years will never go back to them... Very disappointed customer.

    So my fiancee and I recently wanted cable and internet service installed so she called and set up an appt. to come out to our home. The appt. was made 2 days out which she informed them that she would be at work at that time and that I would home. They said that would be fine as long as someone 18 or older was present at the time. So the appt. was between 10 a.m. and noon that day for installation. Mind you we have a newborn in the home and very busy schedules. Not only did they not show up as I was home but no call, no nothing. When I called to find out if they were coming or not I was on the phone over a half hour only to be told that they could not discuss anything with me because I'm not the account holder. So I informed them that "it should be common sense and standard practice for your people to inform the account holders that if they are at work and there is an issue they can only talk to them."

    Funny thing is they wanted her to call from her work. Yeah o.k. like people can just do that. Mind you I was passed between 3 people until I was on the phone with a Randy supervisor of sales and retention for as he put it for the entire nation. Well Mr. Randy had no solution for me and I was told he could not speak with me. So that's real nice have someone waiting around all morning for nothing without using common sense to get to the solution to find out where your driver is and if anyone is coming or not or to tell someone upfront "if there is any type of issue ma'am that day of installation you would have to add your fiance to the account in order for us to speak with him or you have to be able to use your phone at work." Lol. Ridiculous! However they can install service in my home, take my money and come into someone's home and speak to them as humans do while installing service, just not about the account, just the service in the home of the account. Lol.

    Anyway Mr. Randy and his solution are horrible and all they did was confirm for my fiancee and I that we should have went with Dish or Verizon in the first place and that they don't care about their customers or have any type of good communication or any type of compassion or respect. Very disrespectful on and off the phone. Horrible service just flat out horrible. Put such a bad taste in my mouth and I'm usually not the type to even email or comment. However this pushed me over the edge. They should be ashamed of their service this day as they didn't show up to begin with then handled it very poorly in all areas and lost a customer that can really care less about.

    If there was a lower number I would give them that. Here's a quick synopsis of issue we've been dealing with since 12/9/2016. We got a letter stating my SO was going to have her email account deleted because her account was no longer active for 90 days. Sort of true... It had not been active for 2 years since she moved in with me. Letter stated, "You could add it to another active account to avoid this"... great. We call Cox, 30 minutes later they cannot add it and suggest going to a local Cox store, we do that the next day.

    As soon as the person at the counter realized we were not there to buy anything he was done, said the manager would have to do this on Monday, it was a Saturday, took our info, said the manager would call. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday come and got no call. We call Cox again, Tier 1 says we need to speak with Tier 2 Support, on hold, no lie, 42 minutes.

    Douglas from Tier 2 finally answers, work on issue and realizes he cannot do this but says it needs to go to the Provisioning Team in Atlanta, not sure why since it was not a new account but ok, says he'll personally check and call back in 2 to 24 hours. Guess what? No call back. 2 days later call back, person in Tier 1, name escapes at this time but have it written down somewhere, tells me "Let me tell you how this will work for you, it can't be done." I explain the letter, what I have been told previously, and offer to forward the letter so he can see. His answer: "No need. I already told you how it will work for you."

    Ok I lose it, not the best thing but nonetheless I ask to speak to a supervisor. I get Jaketra, nice lady tells me after putting me on hold for 10 minutes we were correct. It can be done but we need to speak with Tier 2. I told her I did not want to hold again for 40 minutes. She offers to call me back. About an hour goes by. She calls back and hands me over to a Tier 2 person, I tell them the whole story again. They tell me the original request was denied because Douglas did not fill it out correctly, they take the info and transfer me back to Jaketra who tells me it could take 2 to 24 hours, and she will call back at 6 PM next day. Yep sure you will. Next day comes, 6 o'clock goes by, I am waiting like a fool by the phone... no call.

    I call Tier 2 at 7 PM as I know the drill now all too well. Wait is only 10 minutes. I get Barbara, wonderful lady explain everything. She's pretty apologetic, sets up the accounts as they have now deleted mine as well, rebuilds the accounts, and we only lose a few things, we can live with that. We thank her profusely as she's been the only one in 6 calls to even help. Two days go by, guess what? They delete most of my SO's stored email folders and she gets a second notice email they will delete her email in 1 week. She goes to the Cox store today, as there is one right next to a grocery store she was going to, they tell her the account was never added, and add it.

    Do I believe for 1 minute come January 11th her email will work? Not at all. I have never experienced such a lack of service, conflicting answers, and downright being lied to. The products Cox offers are no better or worse than others yet charge a premium, we pay $228 a month for cable, internet, and phone service, you can match or beat that price all day, everyday in Southern California.

    Why am I still a Cox customer today? Who knows why? Probably because we've had our email addresses for 20 years and don't like change. Really I would love someone from Cox to call me and explain how all this was even acceptable service. It took 2 weeks to even get an answer with calling every 3rd day. Never again, I'm telling everyone look elsewhere. The products are okay but the service is abysmal. Cox you need to fix this.

    I have been a Cox customer since November 2016 and have already experienced so many problems with their service. My tv freezes up several times a day. The picture becomes distorted. Error messages that pop up on the tv screen. I have to physically get up and unplug the cord from the outlet and plug back in to reboot the system. My internet service isn't any faster or better than my previous internet provider, yet I lay $99.99 per month for this so-called "High Speed" Internet.

    In the first month of having Cox I had called customer service at least 10 times to complain about the service. They would send a technician out to resolve the problems but apparently the techs didn't know what they were doing! The last technician that came to "fix" the problems found things that were not wired properly from the start. He also got the internet issue resolved. As of now however, I'm still not getting the high speed that Cox told me I would get. Cox fails to tell you that in order to get the highest speed that you have to purchase a card to insert inside of your computer. This will upgrade your computer in order to really get the high speed that you are already paying a butt load for!

    Cox is misleading people into thinking that you are going to get this exceptional speed when in reality you are not. Speaking with Customer Service is a freaking joke as well. They are rude and have been sarcastic with me. They tell you that there is an outage and that they can't say how long you will be without service and Internet. I went for 2 days without being able to watch tv due to this so called "Outage". This is a total crock and seems to me that their system is flawed in a big way, but of course they aren't going to tell the customer that.

    I did manage to get a $210.00 credit off of my first bill because of all the problems and frustration I went through. Which I feel is only fair and just in my case. But then Cox had the nerve to charge me $135.00 for some outside rewiring that had to be done because it wasn't done properly to begin with, along with a service call fee. In my anger and frustration I ended up calling the Cooperate Office to get to the bottom of things. I spoke to a very nice woman that was helpful and got these charges off of my bill. I did let her know that I was very frustrated and tired of having to deal with these cable problems every day, and for the amount of money they are charging me for their service, or lack of I should say, that I should NOT have to deal with rude customer service. If I am paying for a service, I expect to get it without any attitude from their employees!

    I am still not 100% satisfied with Cox and am still experiencing problems at least once or twice a day. I don't know if I am going to stay with Cox or not, for I have been trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but my patience is running out very quickly! I didn't even want to give a one-star rating but it required a rating to write the review. My advice to people in the fence and trying to decide between Cox or another provider, DO NOT GO WITH COX!!!

    Please think twice before you use Cox Cable. I moved to Kansas and contacted Cox. I told them I did not want a 2 year contract because I knew I would not stay in an apartment. I agreed on a bundle that included a landline which I did not use. So, we agreed on a price. The next day a salesman from Cox calls me. He tells me that I can have the security system instead of the phone, and if I have a two year agreement either the phone or the security system can follow. I told him I had no intention of getting into a two year agreement with a security system since I didn't know where I was going to live. He told me point blank that I did NOT have to take the security system, I had the option of doing the security OR the phone. I once again reiterated that I did not want to be tied for 2 years to a system I didn't know if I would use or not. He assured me that if I didn't want the security system, I could take the phone. So, I agreed.

    Two months later I buy a home that has a security system. I call Cox to transfer my internet, cable and opt for the phone instead of the security system since I already have one. I was told they absolutely could not "use the phone instead of the security system" and there is a $500.00 cancellation fee since I am not taking it with me.

    Next day, this guy Jeremy called me and told he is the Store manager and he can offer me the $83 price for 150 mbps and basic tv with HBO & Starz free. I confirmed the price and details twice. He scheduled an appointment for the installation on Tuesday. After installation, when I checked I got more channels than they promised me. Immediately I called this guy - Jeremy who did not pick up my call. I got a text stating he is at a funeral and will be back in the evening and will contact me. But I've not any call. Same day I called, left a voicemail in the evening. Next day I called, he did not pickup. Thursday morning, we came out for our vacation for 10 days.

    When I spoke to customer care today about this, they told me they cannot do anything and I'll end up paying $150 for this month. I'll be going to the store next Monday and return my receiver. Please do not believe even a single word they speak to you over the phone unless you see the confirmed order. I do not have any proof on the promises they gave. I found out when I spoke to the customer service that there is no order on what they promised.

    I haven't had cable in a couple of years. Decided to get it for the house. Cox very high overcharged customers so much money. Bill was high as 500 dollars. Then the bundles don't seem to be the prices they falsely advertise never tell you billed a month in advance. Customer Service are very rude. Everyone tell you different answers to get you off the phone. I wish we had another cable provider besides Cox. They overcharge the customers. There are no bundles. Your bill never the same. Different each month. Why do we have to pay such high bills to watch tv? Cox are a very bad cable company. I don't understand 15.99 each month for DVR box 8.50 for each contour box. I have 2 boxes was being charge for 3 15.99 for HBO. Can't afford it. You pay one bill the next one they're due to a month in advance. Are this legal?

    I called Cox to discuss my insanely huge bill for just internet & phone, they ended up talking me into contour tv. The guy has wires going across my house leaving them out for my pets to bite into or get hurt with. I had a lot of things in the way but still he could of tucked them behind the things or hung them up. I can't even find the 150 channels I was promised. Most the shows are double or triple repeats. I can't find any of the shows I like or channels. HSN is about the only thing to watch and their prices are through the roof & un-affordable to the average person. When I was watching the news, they were on the previous day, yesterday's news and it was 5 am and they said 9 am on previous days news. What in the world? Box was left where it blocks some of my view to see tv. I canceled my netflix when I ordered this service and really wish I had not as this is a complete rip-off.

    When I do find a show to watch it's X-Files from the 1990's or shows that are really old. Get with the current years' movies people. My internet modem constantly shuts off & has to be reset in the middle of my work online. Not to mention the bills are through the roof for these services and when I mentioned it they talked me into adding another feature which increases the bill even more. I was given no paperwork to show how to work tv shows or what shows I have, or no instructions besides "here's the remote, here's the on & off button". I am very unsatisfied and wish I had just stayed with Netflix.

    Before I start, is there a "NO star option"? Satisfaction isn't an option with this company. Scale of 1-5, this company is a -1 with a sad face emoticon. The subject say it all. This is a terrible company. The service is terrible, their customer service is terrible, the prices and fees are terrible. We pay for pretty high end internet speeds, we have a high end router, the two computers in the house are both new with excellent hardware, one computer is direct connect, and we still have terrible internet. My roommate is direct connected and still gets terrible lag, we get disconnected all the time from the internet, our wifi stays up though (our hardware actually working). We are told we get a certain speed but any speed tests reports FAR FAAAAR below what we pay for. Our download speeds come in at a trickle. If someone turns on netflix on one computer the other computer is teleported to 2001 AOL speeds.

    Our account keeps getting messed up because Cox managed to establish 2 separate accounts for my roommate, one he can view online and pay for (don't worry, that isn't the one that matters), and one that we have NO access to that he has to call in to make payments on that we receive no information on. Apparently it takes an act of congress to remove an account that NO ONE USES but somehow shared all his information and billing info. I would go with AT&T but they are not much better.

    If you had an option to go with Cox or not, I suggest creating your own company with whatever knowledge you current posses about establishing a internet service provider and do it, because you will probably do a better job than the people at Cox. Also, let me know when you start up because I want to be your first customer. HAND TO GOD, SWEAR ON THE BIBLE, THE CONSTITUTION AND MY MOTHER'S LIFE. While trying to hit submit on this, my internet went out.

    We are so over Cox Communications. They pretty much have a monopoly on service in Wichita, KS. No other internet in our part of town is available yet. Been Cox customers for over 20 years and never missed a payment nor even been late on one. Every year we get rid of more and more services, less channels, slower internet but every year our bill keeps increasing. You can't get on their website and see prices per service/equipment to actually see what else you can get rid of to lower your bill. Nothing is listed separately price wise and they make you call if you want to lower or get rid of services. New customers pay 1/2 of what existing, long-standing good customers pay.

    The reason they don't list cost for services separately is they have so many bundles and tiers and plans that everybody pays something different. We don't use 1/4 of the lowest internet service so we are paying for those who use too much. We watch 4 or 5 channels of TV but these of course are available only in the higher cost packages. We're older and on a fixed income; we don't need the "contour" junk, home phone, special equipment or any of the other bells and whistles but they've still just about priced us out and they don't really care. Guess it's time to "cut the cord" like others are doing. Cox can set these prices just as high as they want and no one regulates it and no one can compete with them. The City of Wichita gets their cut though so they aren't going to regulate it either. Wish they'd come up with a plan for people like us but I guess they figure they don't have to.
