Unnecessary time to raise prices.

Mine was going up close to $100! None of the Cox reps I spoke to could tell me why it went up so much, nor would they disclose how much  I was paying for each thing on my bill, they would only tell me the end total amount.  Finally ended up downgrading to basic, I was on the tier above basic.   Had to update my equipment and the “new” contour 2 is very limiting.  Definitely a step down from the old original contour equipment, lost a lot of basic functions.  How hard is it to put a sleep timer in the app or have the left arrow on the remote serve as a back button? Why do I have to say “back”?  Don’t always want to disturb everyone around me with constant talking to the tv remote. Not well thought out. Also have to use Cox internet modem/router, but I wasn’t told that until the equipment arrived and I called to ask how to return it.  Of course, that is another monthly charge and I have a great modem/router that I bought a few months back, too late to return that, but now I am paying for another one.  Will probably end up cancelling my service, basic has none of the channels I watch, so not worth it, especially with the aggravation of Contour 2 and the modem charge.  Been a customer over 30 years, but I guess that no longer matters to Cox.
