Outages Zip Code 85018

Over the last few days (since Sunday), my service area (in Phoenix, zip code 85018) has had multiple outages that last for several hours. Today (Wednesday), it started in the morning. The issue was supposed to be resolved by 12:30 and now that deadline has been extended to 4:22 PM. We had similar lengthy outages on Sunday, Monday, etc. Can someone provide clarity on what has been done to resolve this issue once and for all? Thank you.

I'm also in 85018, Internet has been out since ~8AM Wednesday morning. They just keep extending the ETA every 4 hours, no detail given other than there being "1-50 impacted customers". I am curious to see if that means they de-prioritize fixing the issue. This is pretty absurd, I have never seen an outage this long that wasn't very clearly weather/storm-based. The lack of transparency and totally BS resolution ETA is bad even by cable/Internet provider standards.

I talked to my lawyer earlier today. He suggested to file a complaint with the FCC - it takes literally two minutes.

Response I received from Cox Twitter customer service. More information than available on the outage map, but still extremely vague and uninspiring. Basically just confirms the ETA will always be meaningless.

I would definitely go to the FCC and just in case keep track of lost wages/income.

Looks like the screenshot of my chat disappeared - here is the text:

I apologize for such a long time without services. I checked and it looks like your area is being impacted by a damaged line that we are still in the process of repairing. Due to the amount of work involved we have not been able to provide an accurate time frame and is why the estimated time keeps getting pushed back. Hopefully this is down for too much longer.

I am very sorry to hear that. I rely on my internet heavily so I can certainly understand how inconvenient it can be. We value you and want you to enjoy your service.  Please email my team with your request at cox.help@cox.com so we can obtain account details and review further.

BTW - the ETA for repair has now been extended to 10:21 (it was 12:22, then 4:22, then 8:22 and now 10:21)…

If that's 10:21PM, hopefully a good sign the arbitrary extensions are getting shorter? I don't see any time provided on my end now for some reason. The last text just offered me the option to pause notifications overnight.

Are we going to receive any update on the repairs and ETA or are we just expected to wait in the dark for however long this is going to take. Being this long without service and having to find out the cause online through other customers and not from the company is unacceptable

Still down in 85018. I walked into a T-Mobile store and walked out 30 minutes later with a modem for their 5G home Internet. They have a free trial period, so I just had to pay a $10 activation fee. Now I have internet at home for the next 15 days - maybe Cox will give us an update by then.

Hello, I'm really sorry about the service issue there. When your neighborhood is impacted by an outage, an alert is displayed when you log into the Cox App or sign into cox.com on a cellular device. Click on the alert and enter your phone number to sign up for outage-specific updates via text message. Learn more at https://www.cox.com/residential/learn/cox-app.html. You can also email us at 
Cox.Help@cox.com with your name and a copy of this forum message. We're glad to help.

Lol - we all understand how to sign up for "outage-specific updates". The problem is your updates are decidedly not "specific" or useful. I don't imagine most people find themselves in the community forums before Googling "Cox outage" and checking the map.

I am down in 85013, since yesterday around 2:30pm.  Unreal.  I got refunded $22 and that’s it so far.

85008 here. Been without service since early yesterday morning. Same BS, “We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” I was also told via chat because you can’t get a human on the phone, that this was a SCHEDULED upgrade to their system!!! No warning of down time to customers. They just shut us down. People use WiFi for work etc. This is crazy disrespectful. Over 36hrs of no service isn’t an upgrade to me!!!!

RaquelD, idk who you are but your apology don’t mean much ma’am, if my information is not correct, please correct it. My internet has been down over 36hrs, that’s correct. Cox representatives have not answered the phone. That’s correct. The virtual message reps use scripted language and all 4 of them I dealt with used the exact same thing. That’s correct. So what must not be correct is the excuse we’ve been given for this outage.

In fact, since they're claiming it's an upgrade expect a price hike in a few months

That doesn't mean they're going to honor it.  A few months back I got an unsolicited email saying my next 2 months would get a credit for some kind of billing error.  I get my next months bill and it was almost a dollar more

So as discussed yesterday I filed a complaint with the FCC - here is what I got today

Unfortunately the FCC is just as useless as the SEC and the ACC here in Arizona.

Business customer in 85018

We lost our Cox services (Internet and VoIP) Wednesday morning. It is still down. 
We do have secondary Internet with another provider, but this outage is excessive. 
And yes, they stopped giving SMS updates last night. Chat was not helpful either.
