  I am so glad I finally moved to an area where I could get Fiber and was able to cancel Cox. In the last six months I have had full service outages for no reason at least every 60 days. It's always an apology and a $5 credit, but never a resolution. Outside of the 12 month window, I have always had terrible consistency with Cox.
  
  One of my biggest complaints is that on 10/6/2024, my unlimited internet was removed from my account by "persons unknown". It was not me and Cox claims it wasn't them but also said no one had hacked my account. They then attempted to up charge me by $35 to get the services they (or someone they can't identify) removed. I had to speak to a manager to get it resolved.
  
  On June 30 2025, I attempted to complete a move with my new services as I had done countless times before. My account was closed with no warning, the scenario was snot explained, and the very rude agent refused to let me speak with a supervisor.
  
  Cox has been nothing but terrible but they had a monopoly on internet in Omaha for years. I'm so glad I was finally able to leave this company and its deceitful practices.
  
  Always check your bill. They will change your services and attempt to charge you to fix it.

  I haven’t paid yet. The issue is that they refuse to fix their website that schedules service calls. So now instead of getting internet on 7/7/25 now I have to wait until the 14th because they know about the issue and refuse to fix it. They also didn’t do anything to make up for the known issue with the website

  I pay $140 a month for reliable and fast internet. Over the last week the internet goes out daily multiple times. Every time I report the issue and get the same response that a technician is looking at it. I have messaged with customer service to get answers and to see if I can get a resolution. They just run it in circles ans say they will escalate it which in their words just make it so the technicians can update you on when the outage will be resolved. The outages continue to happen and they refuse to give any answers as to why or allow you to speak to management. It seems to be a common issue that other customers are also experiencing.

  In January I moved from my old house at *** * **** ****** in Omaha, NE to my new address. At the time I called Cox to have the internet service stopped and they said it would be done. Since then I have been getting calls from Cox saying it was not stopped and they kept charging me. If they looked at the service they would see it was not used since then which would make it obvious it should have been cancelled. The last Cox bill I paid was around 1/8/2025, around the time I called to cancel the service. I have reached out to **** ****** so I can pinpoint the day/time I called Cox to cancel the bill. They said it could take up to 35 days. The service should be stopped and the outstanding amount should be zeroed out.

  On May 27, 2025, I tried to complete steps to get my service activated. After sending in leases and other verifying document. I called cox and the first person told me that I had a balance on account for different address and I had to pay it first. I spoke to collection and we settled the account. After many calls and many times being hung up and 4 hours later, I talk to collections and she stated I had other bills and they needed to be paid first. I said I understand what she is saying however yall never mention those other bills and I don’t have the money for one let alone 4. And if I did I would not paid the 1 because I don’t have that type of money. I requested if I can get my money back because of the poor communication and for the fact they never stated anything about other accounts till after I paid one. She said no your just down one bill and the rest need to be paid. This is not fair and I believe they did this so I can pay a bill. And I do not have service. So now I’m struggling with no service as well. Thanks cox and I will never use your service and I will make sure to help others for the problems

  I canceled service on 5/13/25. They said they canceled my service and gave me confirmation number 105654. Then they tried to get me to buy cox phone service after canceling my internet. I said no and they said to return my equipment in the next month. I returned my equipment and the guy at the store said my internet wasn't actually canceled. Now the are trying to bill me for prorated services for an extra 10 days.

  I was trying to cancel my cox business services. I was informed I had a contract that was automatically renewed. Before getting new services I had checked to make sure that I was not in contract, which it said I was not on my account. I attached a picture and of what my account said. The lady I spoke with Katie Jasperson, was very rude and said I would need to pay 370$. This is ridiculous, I was not in a contract and my service barely worked.

  After beginning to have connectivity issues in Feb and multiple calls and technician visits to resolve. We continue to experience internet being discontinued and horrid lip service and customer service. Tonight I asked to speak with a manager and ***** was anything but helpful. Used logic as an excuse but logic tells me we should not have to have multiple calls or technician visits for the same issue. We have been a loyal
  Customer of theirs for 20+ years but were told we need to be available to their schedule vs ours. This has been such a disappointing experience!!!!!! We even agreed to the uogade of equipment and services and the problems multiplied rather than getting better.

  I CALLED TO CANCEL MY SERVICES WITH COX BUSINESS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANY OUTAGES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I CANNOT CONDUCT ANY BUSINESS WHILE MY SERVICES ARE DOWN AND CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY IT HAS COSTED OUR BUSINESS. OUR PHONES AND INTERNET GO DOWN AT THE SAME TIME AND I CANNOT ORDER ANY PARTS, CONTACT ANY CUSTOMERS, CANNOT PROCESS CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, OR LOOK UP ANY INFORMATION TO REPAIR VEHICLES WHILE THE OUTAGE OCCURS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS AN AUTO RENEWAL ON OUR CONTRACT THAT WAS SIGNED 5 YEARS AGO AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1500 TO CANCEL OUR SERVICE. I HAVE A NEW COMPANY LINED UP TO PROVIDE SERVICES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL THE EXISTING SERVICE BEFORE HAVING THE NEW SERVICE ACTIVATED. I DONT THINK THAT IT IS ETHICAL OR DECENT TO HAVE AN AUTO RENEWAL WITH NO WAY OUT EVEN WITH POOR SERVICE. PLEASE HELP

  I have Cox communications for many years and then Verizon came to my door and offered me a deal I can't resist. $50 a month for the next 5 years or more of unlimited internet. I called Cox to cancel and they told me that they could put me on this $10 a month thing and then I could cancel or it would cancel itself. They wanted me to do the $10 a month to try it out before I canceled. I went out of town and got a huge bill after the $10 the month of deal so I thought that included the cancellation fee which I didn't even know I had a cancellation fee with Cox because I don't ever remember signing anything that said I was in a bonding contract which is unfair. Long story short I called and then next lady I spoke with told me that I had somehow signed up where some vacation hold. That was not how it was explained to me. I also was unaware that the large bill I received after the $10 was not the cancellation fee so I didn't do anything and then I got a big bill again. So the lady said she was going to issue me a credit for the $80 and she would escalate the matter to see if they could credit this $120 cancellation fee. She promised me that I would receive an email or a phone call. I never did. So I called back again today and talked to a girl who told me I had a zero balance. I told her I wanted something in writing saying I had a zero balance and she said she couldn't send me anything. Then a few minutes later she was like oh you do have $120 balance. So again I asked her to escalate the matter since I never heard back on getting that credited and she said she would transfer me. I waited on hold for 2 hours and nobody ever picked up and then I was somehow disconnected. I should be reimbursed $120 plus another 60 just for 2 hours of my time wasted on hold since I make $30 an hour. Please see attached document showing the 2 hour and 11 minute call. I will settle for a credit of $120 to this can just resolved once and for all. Thank you for your time and consideration.
