    Complaint Type:
    Delivery Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I am dissatisfied with the recent changes to my service and billing. I have been a loyal *** customer, subscribing to your TV, internet, and phone bundle. On June 11, 2024, I received an email informing me that my monthly bill would be increasing from $257.73 to $282.73, ending a $25 promotion. In response, I took advantage of an email offer to keep my current service package at a rate of $248.70 per month, including a $25 discount for the next two years. I confirmed this order on June 13th and received an order confirmation.On June 19th, I received an unsolicited package containing a new modem. My existing modem was functioning perfectly and did not require replacement.On June 20th, I discovered that my landline phone service is not working. After contacting *** and speaking to FOUR different representatives, I was informed that my phone line had been disconnected and was subsequently reconnected. None of the four agents mentioned any changes to my billing or pricing.On June 21st, I received another email, this time informing me that my new monthly bill would be $289.12. This represented an increase of $41.58 from the agreed-upon price of $248.70.Today, June 24th, I have spent several frustrating hours attempting to resolve this issue with *** customer service representatives. However, I have yet to receive a clear explanation for the sudden and significant price hike. The agents I have spoken to have provided conflicting information, mentioning the new modem, the expired promotion, and various other irrelevant details. No one has been able to explain how the agreed-upon price of $248.70, which includes a $25 discount, could possibly increase to $289.12 within two weeks.I understand that *** may hold a monopoly on high-speed internet in my area. However, I believe that the company's recent actions are not only unprofessional but also unethical. I am deeply disappointed with the lack of clarity, transparency, and customer service I have experienced.

    Their strategy for keeping customers is to automatically sign them up for auto renewal and lock them into extending their service longer than desired. Do not fall their tactics. The service is not worth it and you'll pay for the mistake in the long run. I'm counting down my days with them and will never use another *** service again, not refer anyone to them.

    Cox Business Response

    06/19/2024

    We would like to thank the BBB for the opportunity to assist a valuable customer. Please let me begin with an apology for any inconvenience our customer may have experienced. It is certainly not our intention to cause any frustration. Although the contract we have on file for the customer has a signed acknowledgment that our services would renew for 12-months unless we are notified to cancel 30-days before the fulfillment of the contract, we would be happy to work with the customer on any sort of restructure or modifications to their services and rates. Our sales and retention department would be happy to help and can be reached at ************. It is always our goal to provide our customers with exemplary customer service. As a customer service oriented company, we know that our success largely depends on our customers' perception of our employees, as well as our company. Once again, we would like to apologize for the frustration that the customer has experienced. We appreciate the opportunity that the BBB has given to us to assist our customer. ********************** Executive Offices
