Horrible chat support

I just spent over 3 hrs trying to get a subscription service cancelled that I mistakenly purchased. The end result was that supposedly the subscription was cancelled but they changed my current bundle pricing resulting in a charge of over $120 a month. Oh and they also disabled my wifi. I’m so upset.

    Type chat in the search box on the Community home page and press enter.  You'll see pages of discussions from people who have had bad experiences with chat.   Never use chat unless you need help rebooting your modem.  At this point, it's kind of irresponsible of Cox to still offer chat as a prominently displayed option on the home page but you have to know where to look to find an email contact.

    Contact Cox at cox.help@cox.com

      rebooting a modem is easy.

      Step one, remove the plug providing power from the outlet.

      Step two, wait 30 seconds.

      Step three, plug back in and wait. WHY you would call or use chat is beyond me.

        You really don't get subtle, do you?  I couldn't find the sarcastic font for my last post, so I'll explain it to you.  Nobody should need help rebooting a modem, so... there's never a need to contact chat.  Got it?  There's a second part to the reference though.  If you do contact chat for a connection or speed issue, there's a pretty good chance they actually will want to reboot your modem.

    just to add - we’ve been customers for 30 years. I am ready to cancel everything.
