Internet Interruptions
Hello, I recently moved to another state and never had issues with Cox in my old apartment. In my new apartment my internet cuts out once or twice a day and the logs show the error message below. Hotline was not very helpful (already talked to two people). Any suggestions?david12343 hours agoNew Contributor106Views0likes9Comments1.6 TB usage in a day
I tend to use 5 - 10GB a day. In the last 3 days it started spiking. Didn't notice until I got notified today. How is this possible? Nothing has changed on my end. I have a WFH job and other than that just do a bit of video streaming and online gaming.vega239 hours agoNew Contributor190Views1like21CommentsCox Certified Cable Modem Page a Farse
I attempted to find out what would be a good replacement modem for my current Arris Surfboard SB8200 DOCSYS 3.1 modem. My modem is still working fine, but it is five years old and I want to replace it before "lights out". I went to the Cox Certified Cable Modem webpage: webpagehttps://www.cox.com/residential/support/cox-certified-cable-modems.html and found an Arris Surfboard TM3402. I ordered this from Amazon. I got an email back from the supplier and said it wouldn't work with Cox Communications. I explained that I do not have Cox Cable TV but only Cox internet. The supplier said that this is a joint data and telephone modem and it will not work with Cox. Cox has to supply each home that has a landline (like I do) their own modem. He said he would love to sell me the modem, but he has had "hundreds" of returns because it will not work. So my question to you folks is why the h3ll are you falsely specifying a modem whic doesn't work? Just a side note: I have found that Cox customer service has gone downhill quite a bit lately.SolvedAZJim714 hours agoNew Contributor54Views0likes4CommentsConstant random outages at home
On Friday, the modem, less than a year old and is my own, restarted 3 times in the evening. Saturday, it happened 13 times throughout the day. Sunday by 2 pm, 17 restarts...went online and selected the "care" Package, adding $10 a month to my bill. Not sure what kind of game is being played here. I occasionally work from Home, but I can't if I have unreliable internet. If this can't be fixed, Starlink is starting to look pretty good. Feel free to help out if my business means anything..Urbansar19 hours agoVisitor30Views0likes1CommentIp address is in another state.
For some reason, my IP address says I live in Rhode Island. I don't. I live in Central Connecticut and have never lived in Rhode Island. Apparently the only way to fix this is by going to the cox store with my modem to be corrected. Which I'm going to have to do. Which is unfortunate because I live many miles away and walk. And it's 90 degrees outside. I think that this problem has absolutely nothing to me. Cox should fix it without me doing anything. It's not like I screwed something up. It's been 2 years. I've called several times to ask if this was possible and was told there's no way my IP address could be anywhere but my home area. They have vehicles and I don't and it's their faultdannyocch20 hours agoNew Contributor53Views0likes5CommentsHow to transfer account ownership?
I'm moving out of my apartment but some of my friends are staying/moving in so I was wondering if it'd be possible to just transfer the internet service account to them so I don't have to cancel service, drop off the modem etc., and then they'll have to start a new one and reinstall it back again.billy12 days agoNew Contributor30Views0likes1CommentAnybody else get fake discount offers?
I setup internet at my local cox store for a deal that was $70.00+tax 1gb unlimited data. Check my account and was billed for $186.13. Asked the online live agent customer support about this, and was told no deal was on my account. I lowered my plan through the website to 500 mb with limited 1.2tb data and that was applied within 24hours. I called customer support this time to add the unlimited data and was offered yet another good deal. $100.00 +tax for 1gb unlimited data internet. Even got a work order for it: 35070023. I was assured by the rep 3 times that deal was added to my account, even though I said it is not showing on my app. Yet again, I check with online representative today and no deal is shown but I was offered another deal for $166.88. At this point, it's a joke right? Online customer service is 3rd party overseas but my local cox store did the same thing. (No offer but I have an offer for you.Solvedajohn26163 days agoNew Contributor107Views0likes7Comments- mr_khoa1102k23 days agoNew Contributor45Views0likes2Comments
I feel like I’m being extorted by Cox
The guy on the phone said I needed a technician to come out free of charge because the connection wasn’t working .. so of course I said okay send a tech out free of charge and now I have a bill of $200 .. $100 each for 2 pro hookups ??? What the hell ? Now I have to call and be on hold tomorrow via phone or waste my time going down to cox communications in person … the cox guy on phone said they had to come out free of charge because he couldn’t do it and it’s part of the free service from cox and now they are trying to charge me $200 … they are totally ripping me off … more like stealing from me ! I’m not paying for your Cox SCAM … I feel like I’m being extorted … This is criminal on the part of cox communications in my opinion … they are charging me for something that they said was free and now charging me an insane $200 for some guy to come out literally for 5 minutes…. These charges better be removed from my bill or I will take you to small claims court and maybe even a class action lawsuit . Listen to the recorded phone call of the guy saying it was free …. If anyone else has had this happen, let’s get a class action lawsuit going and get to the bottom of this crap …rachelw3 days agoNew Contributor101Views0likes2Comments- Dlporcello4 days agoNew Contributor154Views0likes8Comments
