Cox won't open port 80 for residential customers. See the following for more information. Reddit discussion about Cox blocking port 80

Port 80 inbound is blocked at the ISP level on every residential provider and honestly should never be open on your end due to the lack of security. Apply a little cunning and you should be able to get TCP/443 (https) to work ;)

Incoming port 80 is blocked IAW cox home internet service agreement. -
The article for ports blocked or restricted by Cox appears to be missing.
This may help https://www.cox.com/aboutus/policies/acceptable-use-policy.html https://www.cox.com/aboutus/policies/acceptable-use-policy.html
5. Servers. You may not operate, or allow others to operate, servers of any type or any other device, equipment, and/or software providing server-like functionality in connection with the Service, unless expressly authorized by Cox.
You are not allowed to run a server from home, if you need to, you will need Cox Business Service.

All good answers here. This is common practice for residential internet providers for a variety of reasons, including reducing the risk of network attacks.
Thanks @Darkatt for calling out the missing article. We've corrected that.
See here for more information on what ports are blocked and why.
