Worlds worst Customer Service
Congratulations Cox! You win the 1st place incompetence award for having the worlds worst customer service! Many of your CS agents are utterly useless! They lack knowlege, talk in circles, contradict themselves, and some outright rudely refuse to do their jobs! This is a result of bad training, bad management and bad employees. If you care about your reputation, why would you allow your company to be represented by so much abysmal failure? I know you also have some excellent CS reps, I give kudos to them, they are working extra hard to pick up the slack. Let go of the incompetents and reward the good ones they deserve it!1KViews3likes1Comment
Contour DVR is garbage
This will be a major rant. We moved into our new house 2 years agon and since then nothing but issues with Contour's so called DVR. At the time we signed up for it nobody said anything about it being a cloud DVR (guess I should have researched it more). We came over from Directv because att was a major pain to deal with on billing but it seems Cox has followed in their footsteps. My issues are as follows. 1. Recordings are cut short and not by just a minute or 2 but a 1 hour show records 5 secs, a few minutes and then just stops recording. 2. Trying to rewind or fast forward a show at least 50% of the time results in delay and the screen appears to freeze and then the message that says there was an issue on our end or restart the box and tighten the connections on the box and at the wall. This is a major load of ** from COX which is nothing more than an excuse for old, outdated and crappy equipment. 3. Also whenever the internet goes down we cannot watch anything since the so called dvr is in the cloud and not a physical drive so there in lies another issue. In my opinion if I wanted to stream everything which in case you did not realize it yet is exactly what you are doing, the contour box is nothing more than a large oversized Amazon Firestick, Roku Box or any of many streaming devices. Oh and the picture quality on my 4k tv ** since I just discovered COXis downgrading the video to 720. 4. If I call in or chat with someone the first thing they say is we need to restart your box and if I hear that again I will explode and at this moment I am about to throw COX in the garbage and go somewhere else where at least I will get the same crappy billing issues and most likely service as well and by the way I do not like Century Link for internet because of the issues we had when they were qwest.

Thermostat Schedule Copy
In the good ole days when we could control the thermostats on the web vs. just using the mobile app, we could create a schedule for one day and copy that schedule to other days. I can't find a way to do that on the mobile app. Is it possible to do that? If not, why not? Can we get that feature back? (and can we get the web-based control back too, while you're at it?) Thanks!3KViews1like7Comments
Telephone Call Duration
For about 2.5 years on the monthly statement and through telephone tools online there has been no indication of telephone call duration. Cox must be the only "telecommunications provider" in the world that doesn't provide this information. Those of us who are consultants bill for telephone call duration. Without time, the telephone bill and online tool is pretty useless. 1 year ago I called every month for a year and spoke with supervisor after supervisor who assured me they were working on this. Yet, here it is still not provided. I see other posts requesting this. Why should customers have to repeatedly request a basic service such as telephone call duration? Please let us know if/when this will ever be resolved. Thank you.6.3KViews1like6CommentsCall 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 21.3.7KViews1like1Comment
To Live Chat Agent- May S.
PLEASE READ THIS POST!!! My internet has been outage since 26hrs ago and I talked to four live chat agents online so far. One of the agent called May S made my day. LET'S START WITH HER:) I asked her what's going on with my internet because it has been out of service for a while. She said, "Due to Hurricane Delta impacts, the Louisiana markets are experiencing a delay in Estimated Time of Resolutions, that's why I cannot assure you the correct time." Gosh, kidding me? I'm currently living in South California. Hurricane? From where? From Cox? Or from yourself, May S? Don't you think you'reRIDICULOUS?I paid the most expensive internet fee every month but what about the quality? Also, another live chat agent said the service signals are being delivered correctly so it seems the issue is related to my modem. WTF? I asked her give me the local Cox telephone number then I asked the phone agent about the reason of internet outage. Apparently, the phone agent knows nothing! He said it's Cox signal problem instead of mine. I double checked with the phone agent whether Hurricane Delta impact the internet connection or not, and he told me that's impossible. First, no one has found out the main reason of the outage yet. Second, Louisiana is 1500 miles away from California, so it can't be impact even Louisiana is experiencing hurricane right now. Sincerely, I want to ask May S, is this the way you lie to your customer? If so, be PROFESSIONAL. Highly recommend to use Google map and check the distance between two states.Solved1.2KViews1like4Comments
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
