My Email Addy is Incorrect
I've changed my cox email address in my account. But on the landing page <https://www.cox.com/resaccount/home.html> the old address is still shown. Refresh does not change it. There is a link to edit it, but the link goes to the page that shows the new/correct email address. So, it appears that cox has a bug in their customer page management software. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks for any comments.
Very slow CoxWiFi hotspot from my cox panoramic
I've used this hotspot that runs off of my panoramic modem for about a year now with zero performance issues, but as of early last month there was a maintenance for cox in my area for about 3-4 days. During the last 2 days of the maintenance my CoxWifi hotspot that runs off of my panoramic modem started to perform VERY unstable and VERY slow. Examples would be before the whole maintenance thing I could browse any website and it would load perfectly like it should, but now on EVERY website it takes forever to load or doesn't load at all and I have to spam the refresh button. It also has a very unstable connection to any website that I'm currently on at any moment like it would stop loading the page half way through. The max devices I have connected on that hotspot is only 1. Before I've decided to do anything. I chose to wait it out for a good week to see if it went back to normal, but as you can see it's been almost a month now and it's still the same. Now I'll list out what I've done. I started with the basics by unplugging the power cable for the modem for about 2mins and plugged back in. I restarted the modem from my phone using the app. I even went into my cox account to turn on and off the CoxWiFI hotspot. Another option i thought about doing is factory resetting the modem, but I doubt it'll fix the problem. I've called customer service twice. On the first call all they did was file a report for me as they asked me questions about my problems. On the second call all they did was turn off and on my CoxWiFi hotspot. What I found funny about the second call was that I asked if there's a way to directly have the CoxWiFi hotspot be reset and the response was no. After those calls I felt abandoned like even COX CUSTOMER SERVICE can't help solve the problem I have when using their own feature that they provide? What's the whole point of having the hotspot feature at this point when it performs like **bleep** now? My last problem I had to fix it myself not even customer service helped. I'm guessing I might have to solve this one myself too, but I hope someone does have a solution.
Intermittent internet outages
Anyone have this internet issue with Cox? I have panoramic wireless wifi service with cox cable. When we first got this service, it was great. Then we started getting periodic internet outages lasting 15 to 20 seconds each. This would happen 5 or 6 times a day. A Cox tech was dispatched to our house, made a few changes replaced cable ends, tightened connectors etc and told us it should be good now. Next day same problem. We waited a week or so and called Cox again. This time the tech replaced all of our cable boxes and said all should be good. Next day same problems. This time the tech replaced the panoramic modem and said all should be good. Next day same problem so we waited a week so so and called again. This time a supervisor and a tech were dispatched to our house. The appt was at 4:00pm. However, by 5:30, no phone call no tech and no supervisor so I called and was told they didn’t have anyone available to respond. No apology just said I would need to reschedule. The next time I went to the Cox Store in Williamsburg. The Cox agent was very understanding and said he put in an order for a supervisor to call me. That was 9 days ago and I’m still waiting for that call!!! I’ve been with Cox for 25+ years and this is about as poor as it gets for service. Has anyone had a similar wifi problem as we are experiencing. I’m 77 years old so 100% streaming service doesn’t appeal to me. However, something has to improve or a change will be in my future! Thanks Frustrated with Cox ServiceNo TV Service Again!
Just another unannounced unscheduled TV service outage by Cox. You have to get used to it if you have Cox services, on any given day, you just don’t know if you’re going to have TV, Internet, Phone service or not! Tonight 12:30am it’s TV outage, and they expect me to be up at 4:30am to see if service has been restored. Just another day/night in the life of Cox Communication Services…
Slow down and packet loss almost same time every evening
Just upgraded my service to the 1GB and new modem was just sent to me last week. I upgraded due to this issue. Everyday around 430-5 pm my network slows a little bit, but the main issue is my packet loss jumps from 2-10% up to 30% and above. I cannot stream or play most of my games that I am actually a team member for due to this. Tried power cycling the new modem, upgraded the Ethernet cable, updated drivers and all that but no luck. I've tried to chat online with someone during normal business hours but when I do they don't see anything, which of course they don't at that time because it's running fine! I'm not sure what else to do!?Intermittent Connectivity Issues
I recently moved and previously had zero issues with connectivity. From day 1 in the new home, the internet would disconnect every 90-120 minutes. I have contacted customer five times, twice over text and three calls. The first two were taking so long to respond I figured I would just restart the modem myself. That worked until the eventual disconnection about an hour and a half later. Finally I call, speak to someone who seems like he knows what’s going on and offers to send the technician out for free if the issue persisted. Great! The issue persisted, I call from work the next day but the new customer service rep insists I have to do the troubleshooting now for the fourth time. I ask if he can send the tech out and read the previous rep’s notes. He said he didn’t see any notes regarding sending a tech out and it could be a $100 charge because we didn’t do the troubleshooting. I decline and say I’ll call at home so we can do the troubleshooting again. I get home, call the service line again, same troubleshooting, same claim that the issue is fixed. I tell her that this is now the fifth time and what would it take to send a tech out. I get the same line from her to call back if the issue persists. At this point I’m wondering if there is some magic number of times calling customer service I need to reach before they actually send someone. I ask for a manager, who then says she sees no problem, but now it’s a potential $75 fee for the tech visit. On top of all this, I keep getting pushed to the app THAT WONT WORK IF THE GATEWAY ISNT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. So is it free, $100, or $75? Is it based on troubleshooting or is it based on complaining to a manager or getting the right rep? I’m debating terminating the service because of how awful it’s been dealing with them.Poor service
On 6-30-2025 at 1:30 pm while watching tv it al of sudden the picture went black. I got on the app and it stated that there was an outage and should be corrected by 4:21pm. I waited an hour and a half and returned to the app and it said that there was no outage. My tv was still out. So I started a chat. I asked for a live agent. The agent worked for about and hour on the issue with no help. I was posting on the chat the entire time. As I told the agent that the internet that it went out, they then after asked if the internet was working. Then I got both tv and internet back and I posted it. Then they both went out again and I posted again. The entire time the agent was one step behind. Then both came back and have been working. The agent then said to have a tech come out to look but I would be smart and buy an insurance plan so I would not have to pay. I have had the service one month and they tried to upsell me!
FYI - Once again, unable to perform Searches on Contour 1 DVR
The problem: On Friday, 6/27/2025, I encountered the following previously reported (and resolved) search problem associated with Contour 1 DVRs: While I can see the TV guide entries well into the future by scrolling through the guide, when I do a search for a specific show (e.g., "Mannix", "ABC World News") I am unable to get any hits (this time) beyond Monday, 6/30/2025. I have unplugged/waited-a-few-minutes/plugged in the DVR to let the software and guide reload, but that did not help. That day (Friday), I submitted the problem to cox.help@cox.com. Cox Help (CCI-Atlanta)/"Juan" quickly responded and submitted a trouble ticket (number CUI000017461739). As of this moment, 12:40 pm (Eastern) Sunday, 6/29/2025, the problem has not been fixed. I'll report back on this forum when the problem is resolved. The problem was most recently identified in this forum by RickH about a month ago. Background: This exact same problem has occurred several times in the past, most recently one month ago. Following are the occurrences and the associated ticket numbers: 6/27/2025 - (current occurrence) - ticket CUI000017461739 5/26/2025 - ticket CUI000017335487 4/4/2025 - ticket CUI000017198245 12/2/2024 - ticket CUI000016769324 8/16/2019 (I don't have that ticket number). Having the above ticket numbers should help the technicians more quickly understand and resolve the problem. I documented the problems in 2024 and 2019 in the Cox TV Forum under forum userid Jupiter852, and RickH reported the May 2025 occurrence in the Forum. Jupiter852
