1 starOMG! Living an Actual Nightmare!! My HOME Completely Burned Down. Cox has been Horrifying. They are billing me $740.00 for my burned equipment that I can not return. They have called me over 20 times wanting their equipment, threatened to come to the house, asked why I was being so defiante. No One has an answer or compassion. They even threaten to come to the house.....had I not been crying I would of invited them to meet the fire disaster gentleman and maybe they could of found the ash!
For as much as we pay they should have insurance that covers natural disasters.
Then when you try to resolve the issue, 2 times now. You are transferred multiple times, and no answers.
It was recommended I turn it into my claim into my insurance, who are they kidding.....insurance is just as bad.
RUN!

1 starTerrible customer service. I was outright lied to when I called to order internet service. When I called to order it (which I didn't even want, it was for someone living in my house) I asked at least 5 times if there were any kind of installation charges and was told no. Only the monthly fee.
I was charged an extra $100 install fee on my first bill and was told after several phone calls (twice the call was "dropped") there was nothing they could do. Terribly dishonest people. Figures.Cox Communications

1 starI was not able to leave a negative 10 stars. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. The company will continue to bill months after turning in equipment and is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
They will continue to take payment when services have not been rendered and bill you after you have cancelled the services and send you to collections after promising hundred of dollars in credits.Cox Communications

5 starsI just left a very negative review for COX internet, Then? Almost immediately I received a call from Cox and spoke at length with 'Cheyenne' who contacts such complainants as myself. She spent quite awhile with me, listened patiently to several Issues (including a couple that weren't in my BBB review) What I discovered through this interaction, was that some of my perceptions-were totally wrong and also that my original complaint about an issue? Was actually MY fault. No, she didn't say anything approaching this, but with all of the info she was explaining..I saw myself -that I was in the wrong by an error I made. So? I told her I would 'remove the bad review' but I discovered that the BBB does not allow that?? Every other site that does 'reviews like TrustPilot and Yelp among many other do.. so I am doing the next best thing by leaving a 5-Star review to 'counter-balance' my original bad review. I have learned a valuable lesson here. We can easily be mistaken (or be at fault for something going awry-like I was) and do what I did. Leave a negative review..that is totally unfair. I apologize to Cox.Cox Communications

We want to thank the customer for taking the time to file his concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox spoke with the customer on January 29, 2024. After review of the Cox records on file with the customer we see that he transferred service to his current location and was expecting pricing as a new customer. We believe the delay in activating the service and the original order was not communicated properly. Additional features added without his permission were removed on January 17, 2024. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Should the customer have any further questions about this matter, we ask that they contact our Executive Escalations Specialist at the phone number provided to them (via voicemail).
Thank you.

1 starI wish I could report you all for the class act of service I have received. Internet was splotchy when I lived there. I dealt with it. Pensacola Florida while nice was up to date. Customer Service and trying to cancel in the case of an emergency. lol. Good luck. This business deserves to be shutdown. Go anywhere else please! The new bill I received after two months of having a “closed” account. And now I have to jump through hoops to get this canceled. Cox is the pro of extra billing, wasting your time and refuses to assist their clients.Cox Communications

1 starWe unfortunately are under contract with COX Business and have to wait it out. But we have experienced the worst reliability with the 5G internet continually going out over the last TWO years! And the price just keeps going up. We have had techs come out (which I have had good interactions with) about every couple months to replace faulty equipment. It has been detrimental to running a business smoothly and providing a seamless shopping experience for our customers. When the wifi is unreliable, ( and I am not talking about speed) I am saying that the 5G will shut off, and we can not connect our POS system to it. It is like a switch is being turned off and on in the router or whatever it is. This is so frustrating due to no other providers are available in my area for business bundles. It is a monopoly and is very discouraging and frustrating. I need the service to run my business, but it is costing me more than headaches having to wait for a tech to come out at their earliest convenience which in this case is FOUR DAYS FROM NOW. we currently pay just under 400 a month for a business bundle, phone, internet, security for a 2400 SF store with no public WI-FI. we dont change what we connect to it, it will just randomly stop working. They say because the 2G still works that we should be ok. But the POS we use requires a 5G connection for CC processing and connection to our ipad terminals. So their back up system is no good either because it uses a cell backup and our ipads cannot connect to that system and run our POS software. I wish they would at least offer some type of restitution to the situation more than simply not charging us everytime they have to replace their equipment. Nothing has been offered to us other than " well we can upgrade your speed for only $70.00 more a month". COX is the devil you cant operate with, and you cant without. Hopefully they make it out on tuesday (today is saturday) so we can get our internet back up, and not lose moCox Communications

We have reached out to our customer to address their concerns, however, our attempts to reach them have been unsuccessful. However, on January 13, we were able to send out a technician that spoke to the customer and troubleshot onsite to verify services were now operating as intended. Once we are able to speak with the customer and verify the account, we can address their concerns and provide a successful resolution.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

1 starThey are absolutely the worse phone service i ever had, i bought a iPhone 15 plus brand new ,and paid for it out right. They had problems setting it up, so for about a week i couldn’t use my phone. Fast forward to one month, i am moving at this point i have cox internet and mobile. I contact them to get my internet shut off, i literally have the transcripts in my email, the men who did it ended up canceling my entire service. So i have no phone, now. Because the phone is new i have to have service with them for at least 2 months before it can be unlocked to use with other carriers
So i have a brand new phone only locked to cox services that i can’t use because their worker made a mistake and deleted my whole account. I have even lost my number because of them they are the absolute worst they can’t give me my number back can’t unlock my phone so i can use another carrier they can’t just use my old address to get it turned on.Cox Communications

The Executive Escalations TeamReview fromChris S

1 starI have been a Cox customer, and former employee, for over 20 years. Cox more or less has a monopoly on internet service in Omaha as Cox offers the best speeds in the majority of areas. They opted to start charging for "data overages" a few years ago - during COVID, when people were working from home and kids had remote school.
Cox offers up to 1.25 TB of data a month. if you have a family of four and utilize streaming services or have kids that play video games, you will likely go over this data cap regularly. You can add unlimited data for $50 or pay $10 for every 50GB you go over - up to a $100 charge. The thing is, data caps have been shown to be unnecessary. The idea that high data use puts a strain on an ISP's network has been debunked multiple times over. Data caps, overage charges and the unlimited data add-ons are 100% a cash grab for ISPs.
If you're looking for internet service in Omaha, check CenturyLink fiber and Verizon 5G home internet first. Both get better speeds than Cox and offer unlimited data but are only available in limited areas. I will jump ship the moment something else becomes available in my neighborhood.Cox Communications

We want to thank Chris S******** for taking the time to file his concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox spoke with Mr. S******** regarding their concerns. Cox advised Mr. S******** of the current data usage policy which can be found at https://www.cox.com/residential/internet/learn/data-usage.html.
While there may be a perception that Cox holds a monopoly in the Omaha area, in reality we do not have an exclusive agreement to prevent other cable and Internet providers from entering the market and offering their services. The decision for another provider to enter the market (or not) and extend their services to any home is that provider’s sole and exclusive discretion and completely outside our control.
Thank you.

Notice how the primary point of the response here is about my comment that Cox "more or less" has a monopoly in Omaha. Nowhere does it address the actual issue of my review - outdated data policies that they use to charge customers exorbitant fees under the false claim that excessive data use may "negatively impact network performance for ... other customers". Perhaps this is Cox's way of addressing financial losses due to customers who have disconnected cable services to go with streaming services? If Cox is going to continue with this antiquated policy, perhaps it would be best to adjust the extra fees so that they do not exceed the cost of the unlimited data plan, which is $50. Or they could just get with the times and realize that data caps are a thing of the past and provide service options that better align with today's standard internet usage.
Oh, and thank you, BBB, for censoring my name which Cox figured was okay to include in their response.
