Hi JCNEW2002, I understand the impact that intermittent internet dropouts have on a busy family, and I apologize that replacing the modem didn't resolve the issues. Intermittent internet connectivity issues do not automatically mean that Cox is having an outage. For example, there may be something impacting the network signal to your home, specifically. This is where the suggestion of a service appointment by WiderMouthOpen is a good call. The line to your home may need to be replaced, for example. So that my team can take a closer look at what's happening and schedule a service call, if needed, please email Cox.Help@cox.com. You can also reach us by chatting through the Cox App or www.cox.com/chat.
