Horrible cust service
Obviously my satisfaction is not important to this company. They disconnect chat when i tell the truth. I have outages way too often for a “ premium service” i pay a premium price for glitchy service and outages often. I am not happy and the fact that Cox has outsourced their cust service tells me they don’t care about the happiness of their customers. They don’t want to actually deal with us or hear from us. So we talk to people in India. 👏👏👏 great job Cox154Views3likes5CommentsContour 2 DVR recordings show on host but no longer show on client boxes, however…
On client boxes I can seethe scheduled recordings, record a show that will record and is watchable on the host but none of the clients display any recordings. What would be the reason causingthe clients nottoshow any recording but allows them to schedule and record shows that do show up on the main DVR? One of my clients needs to be exchanged due to it failing to download the software image which was done when atech hhasdisconnected my cable and phone line due to ingress without any notification or notes left in my account so customer service knew. That was all resolved but this mysterious issue happened after replacing a line from the wall to a client box that was the cause of the ingress. I can’t see the absence of omeclient causing this. I looked at the hook up in the house that was modified and the one odd thing I see is the cable line-in to the house is split with one side going to an amp that goes to another amp which is connected toeach room. The other side of the split from the main line in goes directly to the DVR. The tech is off for the next couple days and I don’t want to bother him and have already called customer service and they were just going to send someone else out in another week so I’ll plan to contact the tech that fixed it but I was hoping to perhaps get some feedback here while I wait. It’s odd that the clients are obviously talking to the host dvr to list the scheduled recordings and start recording from client boxes that show on the host, but the clients no longer show any recordings like they used too thank you for your time and advice in advance.

I'm a new Cox customer but, to be honest, the quality of service I've received from support so far has been abysmal. I tried asking a question about my bill last week and the non-answer I received was "that's just the way the bill is"....hardly an answer. Thankfully, a co-worker who USED to work for Cox was able to provide an answer, which leads us to today: I had asked my wife to call Cox today to find out why we're having so many issues with laggy response from DVR content and issues with audio cutting out, etc. She did as I asked, but then was told "we've sent you a text message" and her attempt to receive help over the phone was routed to an off-shore representative responding via Text message. The representative was of zero help and ultimately just dispatched a technician. My question is WHY was this phonecall routed to text message AT ALL? We're technically savvy people and generally can recognize whether text is an efficient way to resolve an issue....technical issues like this are NOT efficiently handled via text message and Cox forcing the call to a text message environment only leads to a already frustrated customer becoming significantly more frustrated. If this is the quality of service we can expect from Cox moving forward, please let me know now....I'm sure your competitors would be happy to have us!715Views0likes1CommentConsumer Solutions Department Issues **RUDE~THREATENING~HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE**
I have been with Cox for a while now and I have never been treated so poorly by anyone in this company. I had recently moved and had my home package transferred and also upgraded it. The technician did the install and ran the cable wire from one outlet, across the hallway and used slitters to the rooms upstairs. First off when I saw how he was running the wires I asked if there was another option because it is a tripping hazard and he told me no. That was the only way to do it. The internet kept kicking us off and the TV's would go pitch black in the middle of programs regardless if it was live, On Demand or DVR. I called a few times and they decided to send out a technician and he replaced a wire because he said that was the issue. Well to my surprise it did not fix the problem, so I called again and again. I continuously have to do manual resets and have them research the error codes on their end and reset it for me. Well my issues have been getting worse, my son cannot watch TV in his room and I am now getting errors that say there are no programs available. Then the box does a reset by itself every 5 minutes and the internet boots us off to the point I can't use my own wifi at home. I am paying extra for the contour, extra boxes, the bundle and premium channels. It pissed me off when they sent another technician to my house today and he goes upstairs and asks me who ran the wires and slitters? I told him that it was the guy who did the install and he said it was the only way to do it. He said that that was not correct and it was a safety hazard. He went outside and looked appalled that the installer wrapped the wires around my house. The way he did it was unnecessary and with all the splitters he used it is causing me not to have service upstairs. He said that he can come back a re-wire the connection for $75.00. First off why would I have to pay for a job that was done wrong to begin with, and when I called customer service Tim said that he would take $50.00 off my bill. That was nice and all but I am paying almost $200.00 a month for cable and internet that does not work, I do not understand how I am getting charged full price for half **** service. I asked to speak to someone else who could assist me further and he transferred me to Terri in Consumer Solutions. This is where I absolutely lost it. She was not listening to me, she kept saying that she wouldn't know about the wiring because she is not a technician. She wouldn't even listen to me speak but she says that either I would have to pay $75.00 or pay for the additional wire protection plan. I tried again to explain to her the issues but she got an attitude and said if I did not like it she can cancel my plan all together. She again repeated that those are my only options, pay 75.00 or pay for the protection plan or she will cancel my service. In a matter of minutes I was not only threatened but I was insulted as well. I have been a loyal customer for years and now I am looking at their competitors. I will not continue to pay money towards a company who will treat their customers this way.2.4KViews0likes1CommentSending an email to COX, I would like a resolution.
To whom it may concern, I want to start by saying that I am EXTREMLY DISAPPOINTED with my COX internet service. First, I would like to point out that I have recently moved from a location in Scottsdale, Arizona to Anthem, Arizona. Since my move, I have had nothing but problems with my internet. COX has been my service provider for around the last 15 years, for entertainment, business, and educational needs. There has always been little issues that would come up here or there and then get resolved. However, it seems of the last three years or so I have struggled with my internet connection more and more. It takes time to call, troubleshoot, setup appointment and schedule all of it between more important tasks in my life. Currently I pay for the premium internet service. From what I understood in the last couple of emails that I received about the upgrades it that my internet service was supposed to double. This seemed very exciting and reasonable considering the amount of money I pay for the premium service. The speed was supposed to be up to 100MB down and I figured that there would be a decent increase in upload as well. This actually was working fine before I moved; my service would range from 80 – 100 down on average and 8 – 12 up. This is an acceptable range, of course I am not getting 100 down 100% of the time but 20% decrease during busy hours was acceptable. Since moving to my new home in Anthem, I have had nothing but problems. All my computers, OS’s and equipment are identical but my speed on average has been lower than the next lower tier service. I see latency problems, drops in speed, disconnects, and on average I am getting bellow 50MB down. Why am I paying for a higher tier of service only to get speeds less than the next lower tier? COX technicians have been to my house looking into the problem, they tell me it is my computer or my cable modem. However, I have switched out the cable modem, I have bypassed my router, I have tried different computers and laptops, and still the same intermittent problems. The last COX technical representative was even making changes to my registry on my personal compute when I was not home and my fiancé was there for the appointment. At this point, I am an extremely dissatisfied customer and expect someone in your company to come up with a permanent solution to this problem. It does not make sense that I am paying for a premium service, with line insurance, etc. and have to deal with an intermittent problem such as this.1.9KViews0likes1Comment
