85008 outage

I’ve been without Internet connection for 19 hours and counting. What’s going on? All I get is a text every four hours with a new goal time telling me you’re working on it. I can’t miss another day of work. I need more info please.

Hello Mavor88,
Thank you for already signing up for network alerts and updates through MyAccount or the Cox App. This is the same tool our teams use to check for estimations. I know how important it is to have the connection return for you to work remote. I'm sorry to hear this has been an added stress on you. I get that seeing the estimation get pushed is irritating; although we are normally accurate with our times, occasionally our teams run into unexpected issues which forces us to extend the restoral times.
When you have a moment for support, could you email us at Cox.Help@cox.com with your name and complete address with a copy of this message you've shared on this forum? We may not have an estimation to add, but we can investigate and help gather a credit for the service outage.

Same here. First the outage was to be restored by 8:35 am, then 12:35 pm, then 4:35 pm, then 8:35 pm and then still no service with no restoration time now being published.  Very frustrating that this is now past 24 hours without service.

I've never had an outage this long, can anyone explain what happened and why this is taking so long to fix?

Not only is this loss of service excessive, but this is costing those of us who work remotely a financial and employment hardship. We need to be refunded for all the service time we were not delivered. Perhaps if they gave us an honest and precise explanation of the problem, it would be helpful and appreciated.

I work from home so this outage is a HUGE problem for me...It started yesterday afternoon and now back at it this morning...and it doesn't help that the messages we receive are not accurate.

The monopoly cox has over phoenix is criminal. I literally have no other options.

People are having the same issues in 85018 - we have a whole thread dedicated to it: Outages Zip Code 85018 | Cox Community

Getting the same vague responses from.Cox customer service, with no real ETA. One customer on the other thread said they have been without Internet for 10 days now.

Check out the links for filing FCC and BBB complaints, and start tracking your hours of downtime and any lost wages. This is an excessive time to be without service, but more importantly an absurd lack of transparency about the issues.

It's been over 24 hours now.  They stopped giving updates since last night.  I'm working from the hotspot on my phone.  This is ridiculous!  What happened?  It went from an outage to maintenance and now it's an upgrade.

I just reached my hotspot limit, so I am now unable to work from home unless I buy an additional data package. This is absolutely ridiculous, I will be documenting everything and filing complaints with the FCC and BBB; I urge all of you to do the same. Maybe that will actually get the attention of someone who feels like telling paying customers what is happening with the service they pay for.

It’s now become an issue of incompetence. No one will tell us the problem, and why the delays. That’s incompetent public relations. Clearly they lack the competence to maintain their system properly.

If you don’t mind me asking - what hotspot service do you use?

New Contributor III

It's part of my mobile plan via ATT. But apparently 5GB is the monthly max, and I am unable to add any additional data for some reason. So this outage is now forcing me out of my house to continue working. And we still know absolutely nothing of value from Cox. Furthermore their Twitter customer service just told me they will not do anything to compensate anything beyond time the service was not available.

More than 24 hours now. And counting. The smart move would be to tell us what’s happening. Those of us who work from home can adjust. Not knowing is a killer. What steps can I take starts with an idea of how long I’ll be without service. 

Just talk to us.

Agree strongly. They clearly have no concern for their customers. Let them eat cake.

Work trucks from Commercial Com and electric have been doing some kind of work in Pierce Park since this morning. No sign of Cox so I'm hoping they are a subcontractor working on a fix.

So I guess it's safe to assume we'll be out tomorrow and possibly the rest of the weekend?

That’s my guess. The fact that they won’t tell us what the problem is, tells me they have a massive problem and dare not admit it.

Time to start shopping for a new provider.  What are our choices?

Quantum Fiber is not available; Verizon home internet is not available; T-Mobile home internet is not available.

No wonder this is such a low priority. Looks like CenturyLink is the only other option. Plan starts at $55 a month for unlimited data and speeds up to 80/10 mps. They want another $15 a month to use their modem, or $200 to buy their modem. And it’s a $150 installation fee.

Yeah, not good options.  I heard Wyyerd fiber is really good, but not available here yet.

I never saw a dime of this.  In fact, my bill went up.

I just spoke with their support line, their new ETA is 5:14pm. Hopefully this one doesn't come and go like their other ETAs

No same story about planned maintenance, I told them I should have been informed if that is the case and they just gave their blanketed apology statement.

It's past 5:14.  Did they push it back to 9:14?

So as discussed yesterday I filed a complain with the FCC. Here is what I got today

I have had no internet since around 2:30 yesterday, and I am in 85013.  I got a refund this morning of $22.72, but not being able to work from home is a much bigger hit than that.   They won’t even give an update on time anymore.   I certainly wish that we would know.
