How to ask for credit?

I am a senior and have no problems contacting Cox. Currently your issue is easily resolved by contacting your local Cox sales, or retention/loyalty department.
FYI, the OLD essential Internet speed way back was 50 mbps, and they increased it, at no cost. I think what actually happened to you is, you have a special pricing for 1 or 2 years, and the special pricing rolled off, and your price increased to the normal price. Talk to sales, or to Loyalty/Retention. They can help you lower your bill.
I was always referred to loyalty/retention, but every time I called or was transferred, I got the message that they were closed.
I was on Internet Essentials. And yes, they first increased my bandwidth from 50Mbps to 150Mbps on 7/2022. Unfortunately, the next month increased my fee by $20 and the plan name changed. I spent hours trying to find someone to speak to while my son or grandson visited.
It was finally fixed today for future bills, but the bigger problem was Cox upgraded my plan without permission despite my profile being a low data user.
They didn't upgrade your plan, what they did was raise the speed of the plan you were on, call it something else. You had essential service, it was renamed to essential classic and upgraded to 150 MBPS, price remained the same. The STARTER tier was upgraded to 100mbps, and renamed Essential 100. Yours was simply renamed to essential classic to differentiate between it and the new essential 100. The pricing remained the same. Like I said, you probably were on a 1 or 2 year discounted rate plan, and it rolled off, which is why your pricing went up, the name of the plane and the extra speed had nothing to do with it.
