1 starI think that this company will hopefully be out of business as the folks that don't have the expertise to stream at this point age out! My 78 year old mother has been on Cox for years and they had the gall to jack her bill up to $300.00+ dollars per month! She called and I have called (listed on her account) to only find myself transferred to Guatemala to speak with someone that can hardly speak English! My mother told me that is why she called me because she couldn't understand the person. I call with the same outcome and made no progress! It appears that my only option will be to cancel her services and find other options! Terrible customer service and there should be laws against US companies sending customer service centers to foreign countries! Anyone ever wonder why our identities get stolen all the time???? Because US companies setup shop on foreign soil and let them access our personal information! LOL! All so they can save a buck to put into another 0ne percenters pocket!! They are supposed to have a manager call me but I am betting that wont happen either!Review fromDenise H.

1 starThe worst. Do not pay their ridiculous prices. Worst customer service, worst company. They will bill you for services you did not sign up for so you have to call them? They know you are busy so they think you will pay whatever to get it overnight. They also take advantage of the elderly in this same way. Find another company.

We want to thank the customer for taking the time to file her concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox attempted to contact the customer several times without connecting via voice mail or email. After review of the Cox records on file the customer placed an online order October 27, 2023. The customer disputed knowledge of the installation charge and the amount was credited December 13, 2023. In the order the customer elected a self-installation. Cox’s system automatically charges for a technician on site if self-installation fails within a thirty (30) day period. The customer was also credited an additional courtesy credit which included an upgrade of service.
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.

This is a LIE. First of all I was at work(12 hour nursing shift) so 2 calls within 2 hours is unacceptable for a response. God forbid I sl sleep and don't do the same as their "prompt" fail response. I did NOT elect for self installation. Their shit contour boxes wouldn't work! The tech told me a tech would be the only option. That gut spent 3 days doing his best with boxes that had to be factory reset. After that he realized (on his own, not help) it was the boxes wouldn't work with the cables routed throughout the house and instead needed to be wifi only. The additional "courtesy" credit" for the upgrade of service was billed to me, not a credit at all. "We are going to give you a courtesy credit to upgrade your services but this will cost you" is exactly what they do and you don't know you're being charged till your bill comes. These people lie like it's natural
because it is! It's anything to cover themselves and not how you keep or deserve new or existing customers. The tech that spent 3 days at my residence told me I would not be charged for anything and when I called to dispute their charges and gave his name, the rep said "let me check the notes" yet 10 seconds later they took it off? There was no checking "notes" It's Cox's rip off way of thinking you won't check, won't dispute anything, period! I recently called to downgrade because I want lower bills. They HAD to send a new box and when I took back the other, my new box wouldn't work. Immediately I was told a tech would AGAIN have to come out? I asked for tech support via phone. Long story short, it magically was fixed BUT I get an immediate email stating my charges have gone up? Yes, again they failed and tried to charge me more for something completely out of my control. This is why you do not trust Cox or sign up for their ridiculous failure of a company. All they do is lie and rip you off, then lie again!!!Review fromCraig W

1 starCox decided to double the cost of my bill from $65 a month to $135 a month told me my promotion was over I switched to CenturyLink for the same service $70 a month with free modem. I’m disgusted with Cox and their pathetic customer service, so glad they’re alternative options

1 starDONT GET COX, they will scam you and make up charges even if you’ve never activated your services or use them. Military friends do not fall for their ACP scam it’s a contract and they don’t inform you of that. Customer service reps are illiterate and don’t help at all. just go anywhere but COX. Trust me.Review fromDaniel F

1 starCox is a bait and switch SCAM operation. I switched from century link to cox services because they are the only other option in my area. I signed up for the fastest internet option available, they want to not only charge me for the speed of the service but also like a 1990's cell phone company and charge me per GB of "data" used. This should be federally illegal as cell phone company's even have unlimited data at this point. Cox customer service could care less if you are a customer and even went as far to tell me I was stealing internet speed; which cox regulates themselves. GO WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY FOR YOUR INTERNET. COX IS RUNNING A BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM.

All of our internet packages include a 1.25 TB monthly data plan. If the included usage is not enough, we do have two additional packages that can be purchased for additional usage at an additional cost, one being an unlimited data plan. Our customers also have the ability to monitor usage using a data usage calculator and we also alert customers when nearing usage included before incurring overage fees.

1 starCox has been consistently terrible for over 25 years. The only reason they have stayed in business is because of a monopoly, not quality. The cable boxes constantly freeze and turn off by themselves. The internet goes out for long periods of time which also means the phone doesn't work either. The customer service is equally awful too. If you call to set up new discounts, be ready to make 3 to 4 subsequent calls because the discounts will not be applied and they'll have no record of you calling either. They now have tapped into the mobile phone market. I pity anyone who ventures into that trap. A technology company with subar tech is almost too ridiculous to fathom. Save yourself the headache and most importantly the money.Review fromEvan E

1 starTerrible service, and no care for their customer. I live in a spot where they are one of the only options. The service is terribly unreliable and for whatever reason they have outages from 1 AM or 2 AM until 6 AM several times a week. They call them schedule outages, but I never get notified and unfortunately I work the night shift so these occur on my days off. This causes me to not be able to play games online or be able to use any streaming services which is what all My, YouTube TV and Amazon etc. are based off of. I have called and complained numerous times and the only thing they will do is offer you a four dollar credit for the day. That is unacceptable. I pay $100 a month for reliable service. Even during the day sometimes it’s intermittent. The problem is I have no recourse and they know it. I can’t go to another company because of the rural road I live on and there is no one to complain to. I have recorded conversations, asking for supervisors or a corporate email address and they won’t give me any of them. They are bullies and almost gangster or mobster like, but they are one of my only choices for Internet unless I want to pay more money than I have for star link. AT&T fiber won’t come here yet. I’ve given them so many chances and had them for so long. You would think somebody in the company cares but everyone I complain to seems to be outsourced halfway around the world and they don’t even have to get you to someone who cares they just make you deal with it. They hide behind a phone 5000 miles away and Cox knows that you won’t be able to complain to corporate or anything else because of that buffer.
