Review fromChristi R

1 starCox is the absolute worst. I went to the grocery store, upon my return home there were two technicians working on the side of my house, of which I had no previous knowledge of them coming. I asked what they were doing, the mumbled something about the previous technician not leaving enough cable for them to work with and said they'd be back tomorrow. Twenty minutes after they left my service went out. Called customer service the foreigner wasn’t much help at all. Moral of the story….no damn internet service, my service was fine before they invited their unsolicited service call. I know they won’t credit my account for missed services. Thinking about going to the other rip off company.Review fromSheri J

1 starHorrible customer service and for a long time we had no other options. We have slowly cancelled each service (cable, internet security) as another option has become available. The most recent issue is when we terminated internet but retained the security, we were not informed the security would not operate without the internet router. So we effectively paid an additional 2 and a half weeks until we were told security and internet needed to operate jointly. So done with this company

1 starA piece of advice for you: Don't believe any promises of this company. At any time, you must ask the agent name, tittle and recording when communicating on the phone. Online communication should also take screenshots and keep the evidence. This is the conclusion I came to after three days of arguing with them. If something goes wrong, they won't do anything but apologize. If an apology is useful, the world will be peaceful long ago.Cox Communications

We would like to thank the Better Business Bureau for the opportunity to assist a valuable customer. We apologize for any inconvenience our customer may have experienced. It is certainly not our intention to cause any frustration.
The Cox Executive Escalation Team has contacted our customer in response to their complaint. Our specialist dispatched a Sr. tech who determined drop work still needs to be completed for her services to be migrated to Fiber. We apologize for the delays in getting the work completed and have been advised this work should be completed by January 15. Our customer has been advised our team working to complete the drop work will be reaching out to her, it is imperative she respond when they reach out.
In the meantime, our Executive Escalation Specialist has applied adjustments to her account to reflect the change in internet pricing. Our specialist will also be monitoring the work order to ensure it is completed.
Should our customer have any follow up questions she can reach out to our team at the contact number provided to her.
It is always our goal to provide our customers with exemplary customer service.

1 starTerrible company, they sell you a plan for 24 months that is suppose to stay the same even if they raise prices then they have the audacity to tell you oh BTW we raised our rates so sad too bad, and their answer to lowering the cost is to try and sell you another service that has the most awful reviews!! Really. I am reporting them to the BBB and the Corporation Commission not that is matters, they have the money to pay them off. They are a greedy unethical company that only cares about themselves.Review fromAngie M

1 starI’m trying to cancel my internet service and every time I call and tell them, they try to transfer my service. They do not understand that I do not need the service anymore. I tried chatting online and same thing. I will have to go in person to cancel. Frustrated with customer service.Review fromDavid N

1 starMy God, I wanted a paper bill like we have gotten for years. But they switched it on us and there's no way to get it back. Direct TV here we come. Turning in Cox equipment 12/26. So help me God. Horrible service.Review fromEDUARDO L

1 starTheir customer support is the worst I've ever dealt with. I've waited for at least an hour at one point for someone to reply through the chat, and just today, someone said they'd ask me a question and it took them over 20 minutes just to ask how many people were using my service. I was just looking to see if there were any discounts I could get for the unlimited option which is a ridiculous $50 before I switched to tmobile home internet, and in an hour, the furthest we got was Ken (that's what he said his name was) was basically trying to get me to get Cox mobile.Review fromJose M

1 starCox is offers worst cable service. $145.00 a month for service. They free movie’s that in it self is not true. The Poor people in the Philippines get paid $4.00 an hour working for Cox. I am stuck with because the Managment company will not change the system. Lilly management company, Gardena, California worst service.Cox Communications

1 starBEWARE OF THIS COMPANY because your monthly bill will consistently go up(with no explanation), and your service will go down. I started with COX Cable when I moved to Omaha 4 years ago. My monthly bill then was less than $200, and now it’s $290. I just now called for an explanation for THIS month’s increase, and the man on the phone explained that I now pay $25/month for technician “protection.” What????? He explained that if I ever need a technician to come to my house, it would cost $100. I told him I’ve never had a technician come to my house because I always call when I have those issues, but DO THE MATH!!! ($300/year to save a “potential but VERY unlikely” $100) Take off that charge! He said he couldn’t, and when asked said no manager was around. So he said my service will stay the same. ????? For the record, I’m a retired teacher and rarely watch tv…only the news…so I only use the basic service.
My grandkids only watch YouTube, so I pay a LOT for just that basic service. Needless to say, I’m DEFINITELY looking into streaming.
Now…a big shout-out to Verizon! ???? I use my cell phone for everything and my service bill has stayed the same (under $100) for all 4 years I’ve been here. I’ve traveled around South America and Africa and never had any issues. Verizon is GREAT!Cox Communications

1 starThe absolute worst company that I have dealt with in all of my life.
First they charged me for premium channels a few years back when I did not ever agree to it. Then when I called to cancel service because I was moving out of state, they told my I didn't have to return the equipment because I purchased it. Then a week after I leave the state they send me an email saying to return the equipment or I will be charged.
Supervisor can't do anything, although I know they record the conversations.
They are scam artists.Cox Communications
