Hi brioche,
Customer Service is very important to us and I regret to learn we have left you with such a negative perspective. When customers elect a self installation, are not able to successfully complete the install and it is within 30 days, there is a potential for a fee to be assessed if a technician is needed to complete the install. We want to be as transparent as possible and it is indeed troubling to find that you were not advised of the possibility of a fee.
Please note, the purpose of our internet forum is to allow customers to discuss technical topics related to Residential high speed internet services with other customers. If you wish to speak with an agent about your billing, please feel free to send us an email to Cox.help@cox.com. My team is happy to assist.
