You are not alone. My service in Rancho Palos Verdes has recently been very flaky with outages happening randomly that would last a few hours. I never once received any credits.
However, my service has been worse since Saturday at 3:00pm PST when we experienced an outage. Now only local channels are available. None of the channels for preferred and advanced TV service are working. Additionally, a premium channel ,TV Japan, has been unavailable for the past 3 days.
Every day, Cox declares an outage is detected. They declare service would be restored at some time in the evening. When the service is restored, not everything is working. Every day, I contact Cox to say my services are still down. I have yet to hear from an advanced technician. Nor from customer service about a credit.
