Cox stupid support
Hi, 6 weeks ago I called Cox because I kept having trouble getting on the Internet. They said they would have to replace my modem. I told them my current modem had a battery in it so my phone work when there is a power outage and to send me one with a battery pack. So they sent me another brand and model of modem WITHOUT a battery pack!! I had to call 26 cox times over a period of 5 weeks before getting a battery!!!! In the meantime my internet services sucked. So I finally replace the old cable modem with the new one and then nothing works: phones, internet,... So I spend a day getting things to work only to find I can no longer access my home security cameras... So again I call Cox. This time I get a completely different story: first the tech tells me the new cable modem is also a router and he tells me my router's configuration needs to be replicated on the Cox cable modem/router (that was stupid and did not work obviously). Then the tech tells me he is the highest specialized support department for these devices BUT that he does not know anything other than rebooting those devices. HE has no knowledge or understanding of the device they sent me????? Then he throws fuel on the fire: he tells me I should never have received that model of cable modem/router! That Cox should have send me the same model of cable modem not a different kind. He says he can't get the device they sent properly working and they will send me another replacement for the cable modem/router and it would be the same as the old modem I had. Now I leave on vacation is a couple of days and there is no way for them to replace that cable modem before I go and as it stands I can not access my security console or my security cameras because of the cable modem/router. So after 6 weeks and nearly 30 phone calls and over 20 hours of my own wasted time I am not further ahead because of Cox. I was after them for 6 weeks and still all I got was grief from the Cox staff. They were ALL unprofessional, inexperienced, clueless, impolite, and of no help what so ever!!! three of them even sent reboot signals to my cable modem without asking or telling me, cutting my phone lines and internet access. They treat you like dirt *** and they will tell you to go pound sand all day long. I despise them all!!!! I also calculated that I paid Cox over $45,000.00 dollars over the years only to always get the same *** treatment every time I need support. I could also talk about their pricing practices and they "bundles" which they keep moving around to increase your monthly fees. Cox is NOT your friend in the digital age!1.6KViews0likes1Comment
Complaint - Please READ
I was signed up for a service after moving apartments on 11/15 and had someone scheduled to come out and activate my unit. On that day my apt management screwed up and couldn't give access to the tech that had come out - 100% my apt's fault. This was on a Saturday. On the following Monday, I called Cox back asking to have someone come out and just flip the switch and the rep states that no one is available to come out until the following Monday, the 24th. I reluctantly agreed, scheduled someone to come out 11/24 between 3pm-5pm; - nothing I can really do, right? So now it's Monday, and no email confirmation was given so I give Cox a call back asking to see if my appointment was confirmed. The rep tells me that there were notes stating that they notified the customer of scheduled appointment on 11/24 but nothing was actually scheduled. I ask the rep to make sure that they come out today because I took a half day to be home. I get a call back saying that their dispatch told them to "just reschedule it to next available date" without any reason or cause. Seems to me that they didn't feel like changing anything even though they screwed up. Unprofessional, discourteous, and uncaring of any customer service whatsoever.2.4KViews0likes1Comment
