You don't get what you pay for, been with them for over 10 years. It has been a battle with them the whole time. Even the techs they sent out said there was a problem on their side, but it never was fixed (5+years). I pay for the 500 plan, I generally only get 150-200 max if I even get service at all. They say 'up to' a certain amount but there is no minimum. As for the outages, seems there's an outage every day even though they won't list it as an outage in your area. If they don't list it then they won't credit you for it. I'm not a big fan of satellite but since there's nobody else in the area it may be the only option.Review from Bradley M

They say there is an outage and for multiple days provide no update, the only new thing they said was they have zero idea how long it will take and won't say what the issue is or how severe it is. They are an absolute joke of a company with horrible customer service and if you have any other internet company you can use try them before cox.Review from Sean N

They inflate data usage so they can charge you a premium for data overages. Everything runs through my router and I have a router dashboard that shows usage. Cox reports it 500gb or higher than what it actually is. It is never as advertised for the speeds. It is consistently "down for maintenance." It went out for 2 weeks and I needed internet for work. I had to go with a different company and Cox has been harassing me to pay an overage that I somehow accrued through the month my internet was down. I refused and tried to get them to remove the overage so I actually pay the bill I should owe. The customer service rep said "If you were still a customer, I could take care of that for you." I couldn't believe it. I talked 5 of my neighbors to switching to other companies and am working on getting the apartment complex to switch preferred providers. I will most likely succeed. I hope that $100 you wanted to steal from me was worth it, Cox. You're going to lose a lot more than that.Review from Phillip N

Came home to a down line in my back yard. Tried to call cox and report it. They wouldn’t let me talk to anyone because there is an outage in my neighborhood that is “already being worked on” and there is “nothing a customer service agent could do”. So I look up how to report a down line with cox and go that route. I select to report that there is a down line in my yard. Which leads me to a chat with someone named ifran who takes forever to respond to anything I send. After I got the exact same response about how the outage is being worked on already, I told what I am assuming is a bot (even though it was supposed to be a human) that I was literally just trying to report a down line in my yard. The bot asks if I would like to schedule a tech to come out. So now I’m just waiting for the outage to be done so I can talk to an actual person and not a chat bot that is about as helpful as a cancerous cell.Cox Communications Response

Without a doubt the most horrific service ever experienced in my long lifetime. While writing I am once again on yet another call with yet another 'supervisor' trying to figure out why I don't have the service that was supposed to have been completed. I have spent literally 12 full hours ON THE PHONE over the course of three days with one agent after the next, some telling me something new, some telling me something different and none of them actually delivering the services they promised. 12 hours ago I picked up the phone to simply stop services at one address and start them at another. 12 HOURS!!! I'm currently on hold again while another 'supervisor' attempts to find out why their system hasn't generated a phone number for my new residence. If one wants to rid themselves of any discomfort of standing in lines at DMV, which has a bad rep, this is the place. Horrid. The tone and agreeableness is all good but it's wasted because no one seems to know what to do. They don't tell me that they just say, "please continue to hold with me on the line while I do my work"... There is no customer rating for this. It is negative. Just thinking of this company is a waste of time. Very costly. Someone should buy this company out. Get rid of the CEO and COO. They are a disservice to stockholders anywhere.Review from Kelley W

I'm a new customer. Customer service representative our rude and irresponsible. Contacted and spoken to many. Claim issues fixed only to learn not still same. Over looking cause and run games.treat you very disrespectful and believe one representative will fix what many show haven't. From Jeff to Brittany and many more. What makes any difference when you tell customer one thing and customer finds its not done.or respond with non concerns about the error and no ability to correct them instead dig into your position.like you don't make errors or anything.is the truth example of your company.same issues I have had still exist and nothing changes but the person I spoke with.sadCox Communications Response

I recently moved into my new apartment, and went to a cox store to get the internet setup only to find out the address I'm at is fraud blocked due to the previous tenants, I asked if I could just transfer my internet to the new location because I already have a cox acc and wifi going but they told me that it wouldn't be possible still due to the fraud block. I go to their links they suggest for me to go to upload my lease agreement and ID and passport I sent to an employee of theirs and they're still asking me for more stuff such as Social Security card copy etc. It shouldnt be this difficult nor take this long just to either A) transfer my current internet to my new location which should have only taken a day max, or B) take two seconds to look at the lease agreement and ID and go oh what do you know he really IS a new tenant and done. It's been almost more than a week now. At this rate I'd suggest to anyone to just cancel your cox and switch providers if you're ever stuck dealing with this situation youd have a fast AND easier time than going through their process, which is what I'll most likely be doing at this point in time. I've had good experiences with them before nothing majorly negative almost always positive view of them, but this just leaves a sour taste and has made me questioning my opinion of them.Cox Communications Response

The worst. I've had Cox for several years, due to their being very little choice of providers and I absolutely dread having to work with them for anything. My bad experiences are too long to list. In the latest episode, my home and neighborhood were completely destroyed by a tornado and all other utility companies immediately shut off service, stopped billing, and were great to work with. I asked a Cox representative and they said not to worry because there was no power to that whole section of neighborhood and Cox was aware of the incident. HAHA! They billed me full price for the 2 months that there was zero power to the lot, and then billed me full price to replace the router when I finally got into a new home. When other businesses were offering support and discounts, these sharks billed me over $600 for the event. They were the only people who had zero concern for their affected customers. I am not remotely surprised. If you have a choice, pick someone else.Cox Communications Response
