1 star8 days without service. No one can help and will not give us a date when it will be fixed. Talked with customer service every day. Tech came out and did nothing. They gave us a $7 credit. Keep the 7 dollars and please fix this.

1 starI would like to leave 0 stars, but it won't allow it. I live in Texas, and during a visit with my sister I helped to get her signed up with a land line and internet service with Cox in Oklahoma City 4/23/23. She had nothing but problems with her internet and phone not working. She decided to get a COX cell phone service, with unlimited data. I authorized the payment for her phone and service on my credit card and somehow my credit card was signed up for automatic payments with Easy-Pay. I do not recall signing up for auto-pay. Unfortunately my sister was having some hardships with her significant other and he left her. She has heart desease so she can't work, and ended up homeless. She no longer has a residence, and is living in her vehicle, so she cancelled the phone service 5/23/24. I paid the account in full 5/11/24, and recieved billing for service through June. I contacted Cox through chat to dispute the billing on a closed account and after 4 hours I ended up paying what I was told to be the final bill. I was also assured by the billing representative that the account was closed, my card was removed from the account and there would be no more bills. I recently recieved a FINAL bill for billing period June 24 - July 23rd. It will bill automatically to my credit card that I was assured was removed, on an account closed two months ago??? I tried to remove my card from easy-pay and it will not allow it. I am furious.Review fromSavannah B

We want to thank Savannah B****** for taking the time to file her concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox spoke with Ms. B****** originally on July 2, 2024, to address her concerns.
A Cox technician responded to her home on July 9, 2024, and addressed her service issues.
A Cox representative attempted to follow up with her on July 9, 2024, but did not reach her again. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you.

1 starProbably THE worst provider ever. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would. It disconnect multiple times a day for no apparent reason. I'm pretty certain I could connect to a random network on the other side of the world and have a more stable connection, that's how bad it is. Also, it tends to get unstable at specific hours of the day, usually on the hour, which seems very unnatural. Internet usage during these times isn't different than any other hour.

1 starI have the fiber 1 Gig plan, 1000 mbps download and upload and only 2 devices are connected to the wifi but for some reason the wifi is never working or always spotty and going super slow. I’ve had 4 technicians come already and none of them can figure out the problem. They’ve changed the modem every single time also. Unfortunately, they’re the only ones to service the area. If I could give 0 stars, I promise I would. Also, I have another technician showing up tomorrow.. they repeat the same cycle instead of actually figuring out the problem. If you’ve done the same thing 4-5 times and it never work………. I’ll let you all finish the rest of that sentence.

We have contacted the customer directly to address their concerns and have provided a successful resolution. On June 25th during a service appointment at the customer's home our field technician made repairs to cabling and verified the customer was receiving the correct speed through ethernet connection. Our field technician also advised the customer to add wireless pods to his network to help with Wi-Fi coverage throughout home.

1 starJust today, my service has been interrupted 8 times!!! Meaning I have been working from home using my wifi, and have had to restart my work over 8 times due to the cutting out of my service. This is a weekly issue with my cox wifi- all I can do is "reboot my device" which at this point I do daily! I also just started a movie that has also been interrupted 3 times. Unfortunately, Cox is my only option for my residential location.Review fromRachael P

1 starIf it was an option to leave 0 stars I would:
Normally I do not go straight to the BBB when placing a complaint, however, I had to contact COX 3 separate times this week (06/17/2024-06/20/2024). On 06/20/2024 our internet went completely out at 11:00am, at 11:10am COX website stated that there was a service interruption, and it was expected to be resolved by 3:07pm. Fast forward to 3:07pm, the internet is still out and now the website states 7:07pm. This is a huge inconvenience as I work from home 5 days a week and must have reliable internet in order to do my job. I have been on my Verizon Wireless Hot Spot for the past week and have more reliability from my phone than a hard wire going to my computer.
I don't have time to be troubleshooting for a company that shouldn't be having issues to begin with. When I first called for the week, the customer service rep only wanted to send a technician, charge us $75 for the visit, all to tell us that our brand-new modem and router are the issue and try to sell us their overpriced hardware (yes this happens every time we call them). The fact that this is not the first time in the past few months that this has been happening is enough to cause me anxiety about whether or not I will be able to continue at my job due to the unreliability of internet service.
I do not and will never recommend someone get COX for service. The fact that there is an A+ BBB rating with a 1.22/5-star customer rating should be enough to caution people away. They are the problem and until they look in the neighborhood and rerun fibers or pinpoint what or where the issue is, we will be looking for an alternative. This has to stop.

1 starI have had Cox for a while now but I’m exhausted of them doing maintenance late because they think it’s not important for the workers who late to need Wi-Fi when they get home. I suggest AT&T even though their customer service is significantly worse. Atleast you can use the Wi-Fi you pay for.

1 starTHE WORST! We moved from out of state & I found that COX had a promo on one of their plans for $110/mo unlimited data 1000 mbps & so I contacted a rep. I told the rep a service start date because nobody would be at the property until then. The rep ignored my request & started the service right away & had delivered the equipment to the property that same day (supposedly). The rep also didn't give us the promo that COX was marketing. 30 min after I setup the account, I get an email with a tracking number & that's when it went downhill and I found out the rep screwed everything up. I contacted the reps again and the 1st one told me they couldn't find the package, the 2nd one told me the package was already delivered. Now, I'm 14 hours away, I requested a specific date because I can't just walk there. Then I get transferred to someone else and they tell me they can't find the package. The 4th person I was transferred to, told me the package was already delivered. I asked how this can get fixed because there is nobody there to get the package that's why I asked for a specific date. Also, it had just down poured in Omaha, so you can guess what happened to the equipment sitting outside. So that person then transferred me to a manager. The manager was very helpful, supposedly fixed everything and setup the equipment to be picked up at a location. Great, I gave the manager the name of the rep who messed everything up and she said they would speak with him and comp our first bill. Well, the manager never notated she said that, so we got stuck paying the full bill. On top of that, they still never gave us the promo, I even sent them a screenshot of their promo that included the date and time I took it & they won't honor it. After the first month, I get an email saying the data is almost used up. Well guess what, they want to charge me another $50 per month to add unlimited data to the plan that they marketed it was included with. Screw this place. Omaha, do better. COX sucks.

We apologize for our customer's experience and appreciate her feedback. After reviewing her account, we found she was promised free unlimited data for $110/month, which was not applied correctly. Additionally, we have credited the first month's payment to resolve the issue. Our Specialist attempted to contact Maranda on July 31, 2023, and left detailed information for her to reach us directly. We remain available to assist further.
Thank you for the opportunity to resolve this matter.

1 starCox is a terrible company! They have no competition law that prevents competition from providing service. They hire employees from Central America to answer their phones. I would cancel them quickly if there was competition allowed.
