I Pay TOO MUCH For This
Every day, Cox? Every single day, I'm dealing with outages, slow internet, spotty service, ect. I pay way too much money for faster speeds - I work and game from home, and now can't consistently or reliably do either because every day I log on, there are undisclosed issues that take literal hours to fix. HOURS. So that money I'm paying is going toward... what, exactly? Because it sure as **bleep** isn't higher speeds. Or even reliable service! You've got a monopoly on this area, so I HAVE to use Cox. I have no choice. But you bet your happy ass that the very SECOND another internet company comes in, I'm switching. I shouldn't have to reset my modem every day, I shouldn't have to RE-sign up for notifications about outages (seriously, I have to log onto the website to even know there's an outage, and then re-enter my phone number for updates EVERY **bleep** TIME), and I shouldn't have to settle for **bleep** service. Get your act together. Pull your heads out of your !!!!!, and GIVE ME WHAT I'M PAYING FOR!!236Views5likes6CommentsGreedy disgusting service
I despise cox as a provider you’re greedy, and your service drops off yet you charge nearly 40% more then other services for less speed. I have no choice but to be ripped off by you as my apartment complex partners with your **bleep**ty service and won’t allow att to expand here with fiber internet which is unlimited and cost less for more speed.. Seriously thinking about biting the bullet and just taking ATTs 5g internet because you’re greedy money hungry #$%^&. The. You Want to charge even more money just for using the **bleep** service. 1tb of data a month isn’t **bleep** in a world where everything requires the internet including the tv. Then you lie about other companies and say many others do the same thing. That’s bull**bleep** no one charges people for usage. Data is free you **bleep**holes, it’s not fricken fossil fuels it’s data it’s naturally unlimited. And the. You want people to pay $50 for unlimited data. You’re insane you’re charging more for subpar service. You only get business because people who live in apartment complexes don’t really have a choice. They partner with your **bleep**ty service for discounts and write off that it’s resident don’t benefit from. Why not try not being **bleep**holes and stop throttling people and charging people extra for using the **bleep** service in the first place?Solved200Views2likes19CommentsDATA USAGE PER DEVICE
What on earth happened to cox wifi app? For some reason after the update we are unable to track which device are using the most data. The app only tells you your total data used per day. That’s not helpful at all. After 2 years all of a sudden my data usage went up drastically and I have no idea why or which device is causing it. Every cox representative said it’s not possible and I ended up finding it a year ago. You updated the app and now I can’t find it again. Your employees need better training. This is unacceptable. https://youtu.be/spj-I-8_3UQ?feature=shared Please click on the link above and fast forward to 1min into the video. You can clearly see the data usage per device. Now that tab is gone. Why ? How are we suppose to manage our internet? Or is this just a way for cox to strong arm you into paying for unlimited data. Wish AT&T serviced summerlin. I’d switch immediately. Below is a screenshot in case cox representatives deny it ever had the featureSolved951Views2likes7CommentsNo upstream bonded channel
Hello, Some time ago I went from 2 blue lights on my modem to just a single blue light. After doing some speed tests and checking the latency on my connection I noticed I was no longer getting my advertised speeds (they were cut down from 930mbps to around 500mbps on download). I recently got a tech out to look at the issues and he said that he could tell things were running well on his end based on his tests. After some discussion he agreed to escalate the issue. My question is, how do I look into seeing if this ticket is getting worked on? My modem's admin page is still showing uncorrectable signal packets on every downstream channel ID that it can show me so I'm fairly sure this needs to be escalated. Thanks!

I've been receiving 3% of my subscribed speed for months. I've had 4 tech visits. Even one visit the tech ran a new line and cut a hole in the wall for a new coax outlet in the house, which didn't fix anything. Having Cox as an internet service provider is an absolute disaster and terrible decision for home or business. My business unfortunately also uses Cox and we have the same issues at the office. The online support only knows to ask about WiFi and things every issue is WiFi related. All tests I run are from hardwired devices. The Cox app tests speeds from the coax line to the gateway, that is the speed I'm concerned about what happens to the speeds once leaving the gateway is my responsibility but it is coxs responsibility to at least get the speeds to my gateway which has not been done consistently since acquiring the service. Huge disappointment I have to deal with this EVERY SINGLE DAY almost every hour I have to reset the gateway/modem. If you are smart just get Verizon FiOS. I had it at my last house far superior in every way. I will once it comes to my area.Solved214Views1like4CommentsData caps aren't fair.
I signed up for Cox back when they didn't have data caps on accounts. Paying for unlimited data didn't exist. Then I got forced into a data cap by paying my bill. Forcing me to agree to terms and conditions when I pay my bill should be illegal. So if I don't pay my bill because I don't agree to the monopoly ISP in my town I won't have Internet. Tell me how this makes sense. I have no choice but Cox as an ISP. They force me to agree to their terms. Cox's website says I have no current contract with them. I didn't agree to this. All I did was call customer support and tell them how unfair this was. Bam, they offered me free unlimited data for 24 months. Just because Cox is seeing more cost because of streaming doesn't mean you get to pass the problem to the customer. We are paying for their short comings. If you can't provide internet to 7% of the USA without issues you shouldn't be an ISP. I recommend everyone call in to customer service and voice your opinion. Not everyone has this data cap problem, so it may not seam relevant to you. It's also funny I can add a "bandwidth allowance" tag to this post. Like internet is an allowance. Lol. The United Nations General Assembly classifies internet as a basic human right, not an allowance.60Views1like0CommentsDATA USAGE DOUBLED W/NEW MODEM
I've been a COX customer since 2015. If I had any other ISP choice I wouldn't stay with COX this long. Last year for 4 straight months my internet would be down more hours/days than operational. We're not just talking about gaming or streaming services BUT just a simple web search. I was on the phone with them daily! for hours! First, they talk to you like you don't know anything about internet or computers or technology, they are rude, unprofessional, disrespectful, etc. and when you stay firm in asking questions that need to be answered they refuse to answer them & simply hang up on you. I run not only speed test but detailed diagnostics on my internet connection daily during those months. Massive loss of pockets They've sent 4 (useless) technicians (contractors) to my house. I don't know how I was able to keep my cool but the last tech I had to tell to "please leave my house NOW! Get out!" They tried to blame everything on me, or the condominium complex where I live, they gave me different modems that wouldn't last, etc until I finally said I am filing FCC complaint then I was finally able to speak to some type of a plant-supervisor who listened to me and understood/agreed that pocket losses was coming from their damaged (street) node. 4 months of me saying this, 4 months of calling asking for help, telling them I have run all diagnostics, and I can provide proof in writing of all of this, 4 months of me trying to help them help me! Instead, I was disrespected, played like a ping-pong ball between different departments, laughed at and hanged up on. After that, they returned/credited my bill. 4 months of multiple calls on daily basis! NOW there is a new issue: DATA USAGE. My daily practices/habits of internet use haven't changed. Same all-same all...BUT since I got a NEW MODEM in April/May my data usage doubled June/July and July/Aug.. I've never received an email verification telling me that I used up 75% or more of my plan but I have received one today. Upon research and review through Cox App and Cox website I've noticed data usage information is given in bulk as totals. No specifics or details. You cannot go more than 3 months back in history and even with that, like I just mentioned before NO DETAILs/SPECIFICs only totals are given! I cannot see which device in my household used up "all this data" they claimed have been used. I live on my own, by myself and have total of 4 devices: PC, 2 TVs (living room and bedroom) and IPhone. So, I called today, spend over 3 hours on the phone with 4 different people in customer care and tech support and NONE OF THEM could tell me details or specifics. I asked them to open a ticket and investigate this issue, they said they are no able to. So, let me see if I got this right; COX want to charge us for potential overages, yet we cannot monitor our usage??? and representatives cannot tell me either?? How am I supposed to know where I stand? Corporate bulling, unethical and shady practices come to mind because their suggestion was "are you interested in our add-on data plans/unlimited plan for additional $$$?" and "call us back tomorrow and ask to speak to Internet CAG dept. they may be able to answer your questions" because you know, i have nothing better to do then spend the entire afternoon on the phone with Cox. Filing a complaint with FCC comes to mind again. Any of you experiencing issues with excessive data usage increase after you got the new cox- panoramic modem/router? And then one of the Cox reps will reply to my msg here and say something like "email us at coxhelp...bluh bluh...we need more info from you" even though I had to log into my cox account first to create this discussion and I had to verify my email too. I will call Cox CAG Dept tomorrow and see what they have to say, but just as they are recording our conversations, I will be doing that too. It will certainly help with FCC filings.279Views1like6Comments
