Resolved: Looking around…again!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I switched to Quantum Fiber for a $50 savings per month. And their $50 per month fee is fixed for life.

Why isn't Cox more competitive. If they were, I would not have dropped Cox after being a Cox customer for many years.

I BANNED Cox for such a bad experience and the company is never to contact me again. Any of their ads, which suck anyway, are dismissed immediately in my household. Avoid Cox Communications, and if you have them, get rid of 'em.

Service was disconnected on ERROR

Today 9/4/24 my service was unruputely disconnected. Apparently, they had received a lease saying my address but it was an error due to it being a new resident in the area.

I'm working from home, lived there for years and my service just says disconnected. I'm so upset.

They gave me a $20 for r my convenience but that isn't enough for all the stress I've gone through today. No communication or nothing just disconnected service.

Questionable business practices Cox

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Jun 03, 2024

Cox out of the blue increased my bill almost 100%.

I called them to ask why because I was already paying more.

I wanted them to rollback the increase, they said no, I said then stop the services I would work with other company. They said ok your new bill is reduced.

I kept using the Internet, then I saw my bill is intact.

Contacted them for a week, multiple times. They don't reduce the bill and they don't stop the services.

Cox is awful, seems like they're struggling to stay in business with price increases and cutbacks creating outages. I dumped these losers, now they are trying to send me pop-up ads with no way to "x" out of them which is at least unethical and immoral, unprofessional and maybe illegal.

I just dumped them again in my ad choices from my online provider. I suggest you all do the same. Don't let these fools into your lives, they are a pathetic company with pathetic people who are also incompetent.

I would never hire someone with Cox on the resume. My advice: dump these chumps, and if you have not signed up for Cox, don't!

Terrible communication and customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have had my business internet service through Cox for over 25 years.

I found a plan with Verizon for 40% of what I was paying. I was locked into a contract with Cox so I had to keep paying their fee even though I had disconnected their modem.

I went to return the modem once the contract ran out (15 months later) and, after visiting 2 stores, was finally told business customers can't return their equipment to a store. Turns out they have to go directly to a UPS store and send it in that way.

Why didn't the first store say that? I am disgusted with this company.

Cox has the worst customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Cox has the worst customer service and they don't hold their workers accountable. They tried to charge me for equipment that I returned and didn't even want to listen to the fact that I had proof that I returned it.

Cons:
  • Everything too expensive horrible customer service hidden fees

Cox is a hot mess. They only are after your money and do not care about you. Get rid of them if you haven't already.

Cox has been experiencing outages for 7 days in a row now

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They offer a $3.9 refund per day. I work from home like many others - I don't want a refund, I want reliable internet.

I'm done with this company. In this day and age, having outages and spotty internet 25% of the time is simply unacceptable.

No surprise there., Company is incompetent and will do anything to hustle a buck out of its own customers. Is Cox providing refunds for the outages?

If not, why not? Contact your state attorney general and have them look into this situation.

For some reason, our internet and cable goes out at 4:00 in the afternoon and stays off until 1 or 2 in the morning. It's crazy.

They say Network Impairment? Can I say Financial Impairment when I don't pay my bill? I've missed soccer, WNBA, Hulu, Netflix, and the internet for everything else.

Network Impairment. GTFUO...

New service set up a real mess of calls and calls and billing errors.

Communicate with each other. The field department apparently never told others the system was not completed, but billed me as if all was good, with the new install!

Illegal activity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The Middletown rhodeisland store told my kids fathers uncle and his brother to return my box when im the one that pays the bill and the man isn't going to return it... So not this $240 box is going to mess up my credit ...

All because I wouldn't let him use my wifi. Cox didn't have the right to do this nor did my kids fathers uncle or father didn't have a right to do this

Contact your local state's attorney general's office. That is how you get Cox to 'fess up and pay up.

Cox is so bad they seem to not be allowed to advertise on major sports events.

The networks are very smart to box Cox out. They also should not let Cox advertise anywhere the sporting event's start or finish.

Conversion from Cox to Yahoo is a total snafu

The conversion of my Cox account, of which I had multiple accounts for personal, family, and business purposes, seems to have resulted in a merge. Post-conversion, it appears that nothing is working, and there is no support.

Cox is not a professional company. Read all the complaints about them on Pissed Consumer and elsewhere.

Contact your state's local attorney general and also the FCC to file a complaint and force Cox to comply with them as they must.

Cox is a legend in its own mind and truly sucks. I dumped and banned this "thing" called Cox.

Cox Communications - Agreement that is not an agreement

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They responded to my FTC complaint and we agreed on a very satisfactory solution.

Updated by user Dec 31, 2023

I forg to mention that I was chatting with customer service in India for over 3 hours (5 different people) before they cut me off when I said that I was going to contact the President of the company to see if he agreed that there was no "agreement".

Original review Dec 31, 2023

I re-subscribed for a 2-year discount, which is an agreement between me and the company. It has penalties associated with it if I leave early.

So now they have raised the price of the TV (of course citing increased costs). And now the customer service in India said that this is "not an agreement" because there was no "electronic signature" to it. Give me a break.

It was an agreement. They just say that so they can raise prices whenever they want to.

User's recommendation: Make sure that you sign electronically for anything from the company, becasue they will not honor anything else.

How Do I Block Cox Communications Ads?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I banned Cox from my household or ever talking to anyone there. I am getting online ads from this despicable company.

How can I block Cox forever? I would never deal with this disreputable company again. Just look at all the complaints and lawsuits against Cox! How is Cox still in business???

This is a weak company that will try to cheat you if it can in my opinion. They sold me defective merchandise, I caught them, reported them, and BANNED COX from ever contacting me again.

I mute out their ads when on a screen or just turn them off. Cox is an unwelcomed guest in my home, and sometimes my household personnel will make the "kick-'em in the rear" kick when they appear.

Then we make Cox ads disappear because we don't want them or like them. Cox did a horrible job and how are they still in business?

Cox sux, plain and simple. I requested the feds investigate this company.

Just look at all the complaints about their poor performance with a super low rating.. And yes, their ads truly suck, unimaginative, boring, all about them and not the customers. They are immediately dismissed in the household.

Why is Cox still in business? Where is the government and attorney general tp put them out?!

Cox Communications Is A Very Unethical, Immoral, Unprofessional, Weak And Dumb Company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The company totally sold me poor product, service and performance. Customer service is a total joke and the company is a total sham that should not be allowed to operate anywhere.

DO NOT BELIEVE OR TRUST COX FOR ANYTHING! Worst company ever.

All they want is your money, they do not care about you and will not help you if you need it. A truly ridiculous company.
