Outage since 3pm on 4/1/21
Please reopen the outage notification for the 85260 area near Shea and 101. The outage is being reported as resolved but I can assure it is not. Multiple homes in my neighborhood are down. No TV, no phone, no internet. The Cox app and web browser device resets aren’t working. The live agents keep saying there is not outage notification. Please stop the madness. We are wasting resources on all sides.1.2KViews0likes4Comments
Customer service hours
This is silly, but I can't seem to find the hours for residential support (except the local store). Oliver tells me there are agents available 24/7, but when I try to click through, it tells me that it's closed and to try later. I am having the same experience with phone support, even though it's after 8am EST, which was the starting hour according to the only page I found that showed a start time at all. It says there is currently a high call volume, also, which is weird if service is closed. Thanks!807Views0likes0Comments
connectivity
anybody from Warner Robins still with service? We're located on the Northside of Warner Robins and have been without internet since Monday afternoon. Electricity was restored Tuesday 2am. Keep getting the runaround from Cox. One minute they say they have technicians in the area then they say itll be the next day. Our entire street is out with no assistance in sight. Cox please send in an order or I'm going to have to cancel my service.1KViews0likes1Comment
Arris SB6190 Cable Modem - RCS Partial Service and SYNC Time Sync Failure (100% Packet Loss)
I've gone through 3 cable modems, 3 wireless routers, and a handful of ethernet cables thinking it was a problem with my hardware. I've blocked every other device on the network for troubleshooting this. It's just my PC on it, hardwired in. The internet works without issues for about 90-120seconds at a time, then there's a 30 second period where I get 100% packet loss on everything. I can't get on any websites, I get disconnected from any games I'm running, etc. Then after 30 seconds, everything reconnects okay. I've rebooted all of my devices three times. I've called Cox and they said everything is testing fine. There's no Cox maintenance in the area and no outages. No construction in the vicinity.Is there anything I could do to diagnose this? Can I buy anything to test the coax drop in the wall or something? https://www.docdroid.net/tJH6C5a/event-log.pdf.htmlscreenshots of the Event Log from the modem page https://www.docdroid.net/RFmVJY2/status.pdf.htmlscreenshots of the Status page but I don't know what any of this means12KViews0likes11Comments
Recent Sporadic Internet Outages - ZIP 92630
I am posting here (at my work NOT on a Cox connection...) while my wife is currently working with phone support at home to regain our internet connection and/or get a technician scheduled. We've had intermittent outages over the past week in the area of zip code 92630. Chat support on Monday 7/18 indicated it was a widespread issue. Call support Tuesday 7/19 also indicated it is a widespread issue. Most times it goes down for hours at a time, comes back for a few hours, and then fails for hours again. We have manually reset the modem/router multiple times, tried a direct wired connection from modem to PC (no help), and had call support reset our modem to no avail. No splitters, no fancy business, just your basic setup. I am wondering if anyone else in the area is having similar issues to indicate this is a larger scale issue than just our modem/home. Hopefully a visit from tech support will alleviate some of this problem - my wife is a remote worker and highly dependent on a stable home connection. The lack of quality and consistency is making us greatly consider another ISP if this cannot be resolved expeditiously.1.5KViews0likes1CommentCall Log
I requested a call log at my local Cox retail store on 2/4/16. What is the status? I was told that somebody would contact me within 7-10 business days. Please be aware that this request is related to the fiasco I encountered with many Cox technicians and support individuals regarding the fact that Call History didn't work prior to January 21.3.7KViews1like1CommentCan I temporarily disable my Cox Internet service?
As you can see, my question is about temporarily disabling my Cox Internet service. So, is it possible with Cox? Can I temporarily disable my Cox Internet service? The reason that I am asking this is because I am in the middle of getting caught up with my bills at this time and I don't want to end up falling short on what I owe to continue using the product sold to me. There is one more thing. In regards to disabeling my service for the Internet, will the charge be pro-rated. Therefore, I should only be paying the amount due towards the time I've been active. If this is the case, then is it safe for me to unplug the router from the outlet leaving me costless of the fact that the item was turn off? I am confused and would like to receive some clarification upon the Cancellation/Suspension Policy if that exist then that would be great to learn more about. I will be looking into the best response to resolve my dilemma. :)Solved5.4KViews0likes2Comments
How do I monitor the duration of my out going calls on my restricted cox digital phone service
The Phone Call Log shows what time, date, who I called but does NOT TELL ME THE DURATION OF THE PHONE CALLS. SINCE I AM RESTRICTED FOR A HALF HOUR OF CALLS A MONTH, I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THE DURATION. I already had problems being overcharged and if I GO OVER THE HALF HOUR LIMIT A MONTH, THEY CHARGE ME .50 A MINUTE. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER SO THEY CAN PROVE THEY WERE NOT OVER THE LIMIT BECAUSE IT PURPOSELY FAILS TO SHOW YOU THE DURATION OF ALL CALLS GOING OUT. I NEED HELP WITH THIS REALLY BAD. THEN THEY CHARGED ME MORE PHONE USAGE FEES UNDER ANOTHER USAGE FEE, WHICH I AM BEING CHARGED MORE THAN DOUBLE.3.7KViews1like2Comments
Questions regarding speeds and service fees
Last year, we upgraded our plan to the 50mbps download option. I never pulled more than 35mbps, but I chalked that up to the fact I was using WiFi and didn't worry too much about it. Most ISP's aren't going to get you the highest download speed that you pay for, so I settled for 35mbps. Then about a month ago, I realized that our speeds were supposedly "doubled." So, I decided to connect direct to our rented gateway to see what kind of speeds we were actually getting. Multiple speed tests showed that we were getting the same as before (~35mbps). I called the support line and talked to a very helpful rep who suggested I purchase my own modem and router, so I could get better speeds. I did that, and then checked the speeds again. They were somehow worse than before, so I called COX again. They escalated to a Tier 2 rep, who tried some things but ultimately had to send out a tech. The tech checked some equipment out and noticed that there were a lot of unnecessary connectors in the cable box (which I have no access to). He took care of that and said that the big problem was due to our being located "at the end of the line." Apparently, I can't get the speeds that I'm paying for because COX's infrastructure can't handle their customers. He said that another tech would come out and add a "booster" to our line within a week or two. Yesterday, I got a letter from COX informing us that we had signed up for a service protection plan of some kind and a few bucks would be added to our monthly bill. I didn't remember signing up for this, so we called COX. The rep told us that the tech had actually done us a favor by signing us up for the monthly service protection plan. If he hadn't signed us up, we would have been billed $60.00. I'm feeling a little cheated because the tech didn't find any issues with my setup inside the house, nor did he do any work on non-COX property. I don't believe that it's okay for COX to charge customers any money at all to service COX's own property. If I had messed around in the cable box or climbed a ladder and destroyed the node or something, I could see how that would be my fault, and I would have no problem paying for it. It's been a little over a week and I still don't have higher speeds, but I'm holding out until next week before I call up again since the tech did say one or two weeks. Questions: Since I'm consistently getting less than half the advertised download speed, should I downgrade to the 50mbps download plan? If I do that, am I going to only get half of that speed? Since the issue is with COX's infrastructure and is no fault of my own, can I be credited for the service call, as well as the past few months' worth of below-advertised speeds? Thanks for reading, Colin P.S. All the reps/techs I talked to were extremely friendly and helpful. I'm sure it was very frustrating for them to be unable to amend the situation, but they didn't show it.2.3KViews0likes3Comments
