Internet issues and a bad customer experience
I am submitting this forum since I have been having consistent issues with my internet speed, everytime I reset the modem the internet speed for my devices will go back up to the 500 mbps speed andafter 5-10 minutes I have issues of the speeds going back down to 20 - 30 mbps, this has consistently happened on all my devices and at times I have had the download speeds be 3 mbps. This is my ultimate issue when on the call with the Cox representative and letting them know I have updated the COAX cable made sure to reset, and all the common troubleshooting steps they said they would do a ping test, they said after the ping tests, it shows no packets were lost, but still I have internet download speeds. They began to get very terse with me on the phone and changing their tone being very argumentative and insisting that it is my device that has the issue, I let him know that since this is happening consistently in every device I own, PC, tv, phone and even my brand new laptop that there was no way that it could be a device issue, especially when all devices are experiencing the same thing of a modem reset increasing speeds for 10 minutes only to go back down to bare minimum speeds. I requested for a Tech to come over and check my issues but after talking they kept interupting me saying that the Tech would not be of any help and its my own devices with these issues, they then tried to upsell me with Cox complete care but after wanting confirmation if I could get a Tech with Cox complete care they said I was being difficult and that I kept asking the same questions when I simply wanted clarification, I was told cox care does not do Tech and felt frustrated that they would try to upsell me something that would not resolve my issue.radiosaurus10 days agoNew Contributor368Views0likes1CommentForums Undergoing Maintenance

Cox offers very little for their customers on coax because they have no competition.
if you live in gainesville and the house you rent doesn't have access to fiber you're boned. coax for you and there is only one provider and they don't care AT ALL if your speeds drop and if you're using a 30+ year old technology for internet. they love the status quo and they have no incentive to change for those on coax. your best bet as the consumer is to move to a place that supports fiber.neverwrongjoe4311 days agoNew Contributor166Views0likes1Comment

Service Throttle Down After Cancellation
I scheduled termination of service with Cox for 22 Jul 25 due to my upcoming military move. I wanted to transfer Cox to my next duty station, but they do not service that area. Unfortunately, the day I scheduled the cancellation, my internet throttled down to an unusable level except for the most basic actions (checking FB, email...no streaming, video games, etc). I called tech support, but their answer was to send a tech out for a check when I will no longer be in the house. My opinion is this is not a coincidence, and I find it very unfortunate that Cox would do this to a customer. I am still paying for the service through 22 Jul 25 so I would expect the same service until then. Beware when you schedule termination of service; you may want to wait until the day of before you schedule it.dshaneNFL11 days agoNew Contributor121Views0likes1CommentI'm so confused, Cox Hotspots Not Showing Up anymore
