Gigablast instability and the suggested solution

I upgraded to gigablast recently and have constant instability issues ever since.  It will work great and then randomly I will lose all internet, then a few minutes later it will work again.  Once was during a webex with a group of potential clients and potentially cost me a lot of future business based on my normal conversion rate.  

I had the preferred 150 before and it was very stable, but I needed faster upload speeds. 

So after a few rounds of techs online and a few sent out to my house, I was basically told that the gigablast has had instability issues since everyone started working form home and my best bet would be to downgrade to the ultimate 500.  For the same cost I am paying for gigablast.  So, we are unable to deliver you a consistent quality product, so we want you to accept a lesser product but pay us the same amount per month.  I was told it was because I was on a promo for gigablast.  What about a promo for costing me thousands in business and not being able to deliver? 

Nope, you are stuck with us so you will pay what we say regardless of the quality of product we can deliver to you.  Either fix your issues or compensate your customers until you can fix your problems.  Don't stick your customers with lesser product and overcharge them because you can't seem to figure out how to fix the network.

    I've had the same issue for the last two months, have repeatedly reached out and they can't find a fix for this. I am doing speed tests every day, throughout the day and can only reach max of 200mbps. Less than a quarter of what I'm paying for. I've replaced my modem twice, and all my routers which isn't cheap. Cox is costing me money and still charging for a product that doesn't deliver what is advertised, pandemic or not.

  • Hello Hbt76,


    I sincerely apologize for the issues you've been experiencing with our Gigablast service. You probably have little faith in us at this point. Might I have an opportunity to look into your issue. I'd like to review the notes and see what we can do to get you the service you expect. If I may, please send us an email to cox.help@cox.com.
