Hi Jameswyatt73521. The most accurate way to determine if there is an outage in your area is to use the Cox app via any mobile device. We don't send any information about outages to any website other than our own. I completely understand how frustrated you are about missing work and we are working as quickly as possible to get service restored. If you need further information, please reach out to us on Twitter at @CoxHelp via DM, visit us on Facebook via private message, or email us at cox.help@cox.com. Provide us the name on the account with the complete service address with a link to this thread so we can get started. - Lisa, Cox Support Forums Moderator
