I pay 120 a month for gigabit internet. I can't stay connected to Discord calls or video games at all. It constantly disconnects. Verizon Fios is 1000x better, but they don't provide it in my area. Words do not describe how much I hate this company

About 7 years ago I when I had a Verizon LG cell phone and Cox was my internet provider I was moving borderline out of Cox territory. The Cox rep told me if I drop Cox internet I could not get email on the cell phone. I was naive, gullible, and under informed so I kept Cox. WRONG! I recently found out through Verizon they have nothing to do with Cox and I never needed Cox for phone internet. I contacted Cox about this and my 7 years of payments for nothing. They put me through a 5 step process for a refund that lasted 10 days and included a refund claim form number they generated. It was a totally bogus process to try to get me to give up. Ultimately, just yesterday Cox stonewalled me on the phone. Forwarding my complaint to CT Dept Consumer Protection for guidance. Amount lost > 900.00. For real.

Absolutely terribly quality of service every day. Constant outages and when it isn't out, the ping and quality are absolutely awful. Makes it difficult to do much of anything, which is problematic when working from home.

At least 1 weekend every month my speeds go from 180mbps down to less than 1mbps down and my packet loss goes from 0% to averaging 15-20%. I can count on Cox to deliver the worst speeds at least 2-4 days straight a month.

Pay More. Get less.
July 10, 2023

I went to open the History Channel app to watch a new show. It wouldn't open. A message appeared that it had to be deleted. I deleted it, then searched Cox for the History Channel app replacement. There was none. I called Cox. They told me they were deleting apps such as History Channel. I don't know how many others they have deleted without announcements or replacements. Pay more. Get less.

In September 2022 we spoke with Fredrico in the Loyalty Department at Cox. We were told that we would have our rate guaranteed at $193.31 for two years. Recently, our rate went up to $202.66. I called the Loyalty department and Spoke with a rep and then his manager, Joe (ID XRXGOLRA). They both said that what we were promised in September is not guaranteed, since it was a verbal agreement. We are so fed up with these lies that we are in the process of completely getting rid of our Cox TV and internet. Also, the sound on all of the tvs connected with Cox will stop playing for a few seconds regularly, every day.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I ended my connection and they closed my account then months later said I still owed money. When I went to pay the app wouldn't open my account because it was closed and they weren't taking payments over the phone but said they'll contact me later. They never did then sent my $8 outstanding payment to collections lol.

Don't waste your time don't waste your money. They have been horrible since my grandmother had their tv service in the 80s and they are horrible now. I've tried them in 2003-2005, and 2017 to present. Total garbage. If I had another option I would use it.

They just reformatted their webmail, which made it so much worse to use. There are multiple problems with it including an inability to delete more than one email at a time. There is unbelievable cacheing both with webmail (especially when waiting to create a new outgoing email) and with the internet in general. In the past several months, they seem to be experiencing problems with outages or service disruptions. The service is terrible and it shouldn't be. They've been around long enough.

Cox customer service or lack there of is the absolute worse! These people don't listen and don't know anything. I just canceled my service because I never got a modem and the hold wait time was ridiculous but I waited and then they hung up on me 3 times! Seriously? So I tried the chat, even worse. These people are clueless. They do not understand anything! I tried explaining 5 times that I never got the equipment and they still didn't get it and yet they want to charge me when they never sent the equipment! Unbelievable. Where do they find these people and why aren't they trained properly? They are a bunch of idiots!

I wouldn't give the 1 star that's how incompetent these people are but they don't let you give a review without rating them!

Find another provider
February 8, 2021

PSA about Cox cable. Terrible service! I had a trash truck knock the cable lines down, the lines are laying on the ground across my yard and fence, earliest appointment is 3 days out. Probably going to switch providers.
Follow up - Cox confirmed appointment, and showed up an hour and a half later. When he arrived he never spoke to me, hooked up a line and left, NEVER SAID A WORD TO ME. My service is still down, after 5 phone calls I finally canceled my service and was told I was going to be charged $30 to cancel and have to send my equipment back. I signed up for Dish Network and got better tv and internet for a lower price. I recommend dumping Cox now. I wouldn't get there service if it was free

Panoramic Modem/internet speed
May 22, 2022

I'm a tech junky who streams through my pc daily, I get speeds around 250mbs with 15 or lower ping IN-GAME. Cox had me switch to the panoramic modem to "upgrade" my plan, little did I know I would then get internet speeds by the Kilobyte and go through 4 of these panoramic modems in the span of 1 week and about 18 hours of on-the-phone "technical support" to try to fix the internet speed, to no avail. Currently switching back to my 3rd party modem but dealing with Cox support has been eye opening. The employees I spoke with were scrolling through Reddit threads to find an answer, (as if I hadn't already done that before calling support) the level of experience their technical support is at is elementary and laughable. This company has been horrible to work with.

Cox sucks
June 19, 2023

Cox is terrible and its the only option for internet in my area. Theres at least 1 "random" outage every day and the hotspot woifi never works. They never give customers refunds for outages and the price keeps going up every single year. 100mbps internet shouldnt cost more than $30 a month but cox charges $50 a month which is highway robbery

Again, no...
December 17, 2014

Again, no... just... NO. Cox is the universally worst communications company in the world. (F. Y. I if anyone knows how on the east coast you call is hardee's and on the west coast it's called Carl's JR even though they are the same company, same thing here, COX and Comcast are the same people) WORST COMPANY EVER!

I paid for landline service. It cost $100 to set up (Flick a switch). Now i've gotten over 100 robo calls at all hours of the day. Tried to cancel my phone service and COX says to pay $150 for a disconnect fee. So now I am paying to have robocallers call me at all hours of the day, and if I want it to stop, it will cost me $150. COX IS A SCAM!

Worst service ever!
July 31, 2023

Now it shows there's an update and an outage after trying 2 hours with customer support and calling! Would have been nice to know before trying to contact you and get no where and calling and getting no where! Worst customer service ever! AT&T has better customer support and service! If I could go back I would but unfortunately I don't get their services anymore. Worst customer support! Worst service! Worst prices!
Last time you sent a technician to my house the poor guy climbed up to the line, couldn't find nothing wrong. Then Cox called him and said there was an outage! I waited two days and then he climbs up there and there was an outage on your end the whole time. And you charged a tech fee! Then I wasn't prorated for not having any service for days! If I had an option I would go elsewhere but I don't!

This has been the worst. I don't even have cable and they charge a lot. The internet never works and when we re connect it takes forever or always fails. Not worth it!
