Massive fee increase

I have been a loyal Cox customer for 32 years.  Today, I got a text message from Cox out of the blue (as in no advanced notice that this was going to be happening) that my internet fee just went up 30%.  Absolutely outrageous.  The only way I could keep my current rate is to cut my speed in half.  I do not understand how a business can treat customers this way, and am strongly considering switching to my phone provider for internet service.  A friend just got slammed with the same fee increase and after a frustrating phone conversation with a Cox customer service rep, managed to eke out a measly $6 discount.  Seriously, Cox?  Do better.

I find that information helpful. Thank you for sharing. That may have made up my mind on how to proceed. My internet has been out since Wednesday while not cox’s fault they are providing no estimates on when it will be repaired. They don’t have fiber in my neighborhood.

Thank you, briankmpks.  I appreciate your empathy and validation.  Sorry that you're dealing with such a long outage and hope that gets resolved soon.  I'm not sure why I got slapped down by the moderator for my post.  I saw multiple other posts on this site complaining about big fee increases, to which the moderators responded with apparent desire to resolve the situation and keep the customer's business.

I have and you keep pointing me to a. Outage map that doesn’t work, and asking me to sign up for text message updates. Been no updates since the storm. I call you support number and get an automated message and then disconnected. Get told that service would be restored on 2 different days that have passed. Service still not restored. Called today and was disconnected when asked to speak with a tech. Cox didn’t cause the outage but their lack of communication/ customer service  is frustrating.

I disagree. It is helpful for other customers to know what type of service a company has. I’ve repeatedly tried to get your company to communicate about the outage in my area. At this point you can talk to me about what I post on a forum after you restore my service
