DATA 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 feature
Cocks can’t keep up with 4k videos on YouTube with 1GB download speed
I’m paying 130$ for YouTube to buffer and lag on 4k videos when no one else is using the internet at home. Worst internet service I have ever had. DONT GET COCKS… oops I mean Cox because they suck it. Losing packets left and right.Cox Courtesy Credit for going over Data Allotment
On data meter page it says: ($) Courtesy credit: You have 1 courtesy credit to exceed monthly data usage without charges. Tooltip: Cox will waive overage charges for the first month you go over your data plan What does it entail? Does it only pay the first first $10 only? Or does it cover all of the overages for that cycle? So if I go over by 150GB, do I pay $0 or do I pay $20 ($10 free for the first overage, then pay rest)
Super slow speeds at night
My speeds drop down to a crawl at night during peak hours. Have been doing it for months now. Called cox, they said it’s my modem, bought a new one, same issue, they came out, said the tap was rusted, replaced it, same issue. I’m thinking it’s a network problem on their end and I’m extremely frustrated. I’m dealing with speeds as slow as just a couple Mbps most nights. Wondering if anyone else in the North Las Vegas area is experiencing this.Hardware upgrade REALLY needed?
Good evening everyone. I currently have a Netgear C1000v2 on a 1GB plan. My current WiFi speeds are 465.2/115.5 according to Cox's Speed Test website. This is on both WiFi *and* Wired Connection directly in to the modem for testing. I was having some speed issues the last few months and finally "chatted" with the sales guy at Tech Support. He started telling me that my modem is old and the only way for me to get their truly advertised speeds is to upgrade to the Panoramic WiFi, which we all know is incorrect. The Tech Support Sales Guy also told me that they can't understand why I am not even getting 500MB on my 1GB plan, as it is 100% definitely a problem with my equipment. Even though they can't send any warm or cold hits to my modem from the Head-End, or communicate with it, but upgrading to the 2GB plan will solve all my problems. So here's my question. Before the tech got here, I went and purchased an Arris S33 just in case. However, after him finding a bad ground block in the OPB, he said everything looked good and reverted back to my Netgear and stated it is running fine. My question is this. I noticed some differences in the configuration screens of both modems, so I was curious if anyone knew what benefit I would get by actually keeping the S33 and staying on the 1GB plan (for now), and if I do decide to upgrade, what benefit one would give me over the other. Config screen(s) from the Netgear C1000v2: Upstream Channels: Now, config of the Arris S33: And the Upstream Channels: I notice the S33 has more Downstream and Upstream channels, but don't know if that really means anything to the standard, regular daily usage. The tech also had the problem today of not being able to do anything from the Head-End with the modem before he replaced the problem. Once he did that, he was then able to send warm and cold hits to the modem no problem according to him. My girlfriend and I both work from home and are in IT. She is on Zoom / Teams calls quite a bit, and I am on Teams calls a bit and VPN (sometimes numerous VPN's) 100% of my day. Thanks everyone!
DATA 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.
