Let me start this review by saying the amazing very nice professional and not pushy at all as people but trying to understand my situation. The part that is sad is that I've been with Cox cable for over 25 years and spent thousands and thousands of dollars over the years with them this would be the first time I apply for a mobile phone to get an iPhone Pro Max the 2017 model and they denied me because they said my credit is in good enough and yet I applied at Verizon 20 minutes later and they approved me on on a brand new iPhone Pro Max brand new with no money out-of-pocket and I've never had any service with Verizon. It's so sad that after 25 years they don't even chance giving you a but another competitor will be more than happy to give you that chance so if you don't have perfect just head over to take great care of you on a brand new Apple with zero dollars down. read more

about 2 months ago Google ran fibre in our neighborhood. Since then, everyday between the hours of 2:30 - 3:30 our network drops. I have to reboot the modem and my router, sometimes multiple times. Some neighbors have experienced the same results. I purchased a new modem and router hoping that would solve the issue, but no luck. I called Cox support and L1 confirmed they can see outages on their end and escalated to L2. L2 wants to charge me to send someone out to check on their H/W. They said the charges would be waved if determined to be outside my house. What are the odds they will do that? I work from home and cannot keep having these outages. Google fiber is looking good right about now read more

The process was made extremely difficult for something that should have been simple. The website wasn't working to update my address, so I was forced to call in. That turned into speaking with 3-4 different agents and spending about 2.5 hours just to complete a basic change. When I finally reached someone helpful, they offered me two years of Cox TV "free of charge" as part of a promotion. I want to be very clear, I did not ask for this. In fact, I told the agent multiple times that I did not want TV, but he insisted I take it after the trouble I had been through. Three weeks later, my bill was over $400. Imagine the frustration of having to call back again, especially when there was no billing data available in the app. Once again, I had to speak to multiple agents, repeat my entire situation several times, and no one seemed able to help. It got to the point where I was in tears from the frustration. Eventually, I reached someone who was actually helpful. She informed me that when you switch locations, autopay is automatically canceled, something Cox never communicated. So part of that $400 bill was a missed payment I didn't even realize hadn't gone through. That should have been clearly communicated upfront. She also discovered that the biggest reason for the inflated bill was the $140/month TV charge, the same "free" TV I was told I'd be receiving. She was shocked and said Cox does not offer free TV promotions, which means the original agent either misled me or was completely misinformed. She removed the TV charges from my current and future bills and confirmed multiple times that I would only be charged $125/month for internet. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. On my next billing cycle, my bill was over $200, and the $140 TV charge was back again. I had to call in again, explain the entire situation again, and request it be removed again. I was also repeatedly asked about returning the cable box, which I had already returned to the Cox store. Overall, this has been an incredibly frustrating and exhausting experience with customer service. The only reason I'm still using Cox is because of the fiber optic internet, which is excellent. Other than that, the experience has been a 0/10. Let's see what my bill looks like next month. read more

Wish I could give Zero stars. Cox informed us that since Spectrum is now our cable/TV company, there would be no price increase. However our price jumped from $298 to $329! Do not believe them if they say you can call a phone number and someone will help lower your bill because you are a long time customer. I have tried that a number of times and it never results in a lower bill. read more

Horrible customer service. I was billed twice on the same day. When I challenged the double bill with the credit card company the additional charge was deleted. Cox came right back and charged me again plus an additional $25 return charge! All because of their mistake. I've called 4 times now and the auto system hung up on me 3 times. Still waiting for a real CS rep to talk to. Also, the internet service cuts out pretty frequently. Most be nice to run a monopoly without any accountability! read more

Any time you call in you get someone who cannot do anything except read the screen. They are utterly unhelpful, worthless, and do not listen in any way. Took me an hour to cancel my account because they kept saying "I totally understand" and then proceeded to continue trying to sell me services after I told them that there was NOTHING that would keep me with them. read more

Cox has the worst customer service representatives. For ten years whenever I had a question regarding their increase in price. I could never get an answer. The last call I made was why my bill increase to $42.00 more. The representative said she could not identify me even though I told the answer to specific questions she asked. Including my first dog's name. How is it that cox can verify me when there is a price increase but not when I question why a price increase. Cox is a horrible company and the representatives are horrible. read more

I cancelled my service with Cox after being w/ them over 20 years in AZ (plus 10 yrs more in another state). Initially the service was good but for the last 10 years, it was increased pricing every year without increased enhancement of service. In fact, the service kept going down on the regular. When I called to report it they always said they had people out working it. But they did not! Service would be out for 4-6 hours when there was rain. Finally I cut the tie. I hope they get it together or they will lose the rest of their customers. read more

Service spends more time out than actually working. Ive had two techs come out and one spend a whopping 5 minutes before saying everything looked fine, only for the next tech to say everything was wrong and doesnt understand why the 1st tech didnt do anything. Theres an outage nearly weekly. And if you mention it to the customer service they dont care all they do is try to upsell you on EVERYTHING. They dont even pretend to care. Just sell sell sell. Do not get service with them, all it ever is, is outages, and ridiculous prices on every little thing. Ive never had an ISP nickle and dime me for every little thing. Tech support, changes in plans, etc etc. Spend your money elsewhere bc its nothing but poor service, terrible customer service, and upselling on everything. read more

Spent four hours talking to customer service after I changed my service address. Did not find out until hour 3 that I had to make a new account for a new address to get my modem working. Only to then find out that the modem I have is not the one they would let me use. I tried to cancel and got stalled by agents until after 12am ET so the office for cancellations is not open until tomorrow. It's also impossible to cancel your service online by yourself. The agents kept recommending I get a technician out for $100 when I knew I would not need one. I got disconnected multiple times and talked to about 10 different agents. Absolutely horrible. Save yourself the headache and do not ever use cox. read more

If you have any option that isn't Cox, do yourself a favor and take it. What Cox does in Phoenix should be a crime and probably is to some degree. Could not emphasize enough how disappointing their service is Update: just throwing some pics in from this morning to display read more

Cox - As little speed as possible - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

"Moved to a new place and Cox tried charging me a ridiculous $150 one-time tech support fee just to help set up or transfer service. After already paying for internet, equipment, and moving expenses, adding surprise charges like this feels like a scam. Customer service was more focused on upselling than actually helping. Hidden fees and poor transparency make the whole experience frustrating. Loyal customers shouldn't be punished for moving." More savage version: "Cox really tried charging $150 for 'tech help' after moving. Imagine paying hundreds already for service and they still want extra money just to assist you. It feels like every interaction comes with another hidden fee. Moving is stressful enough without a company trying to cash grab customers for basic support. Terrible experience, zero transparency, and disappointing customer service." read more

The customer service plan they add to your account is a scam. I am deciding which company I can switch to, but more than likely their biggest competitor. Bills continue to get more expensive for low quality services. They charge for transfer fees, they don't back date refunds for usage you weren't able to access (even when they tell you they will and can), and they overcharge for basic internet and gouge you for decent internet. read more

I spent two days trying to resolve an internet issue and was repeatedly transferred, disconnected, and met with little meaningful assistance - until I finally spoke with Gladys in Las Vegas. She immediately identified the root of the problem, was professional, courteous, and genuinely solution-oriented. She resolved the issue efficiently and restored my confidence in your customer service. I'm very grateful to have spoken with her. Thank you! Also, if it isn't clear - the 5 star is for Gladys. Not Cox. read more

We've had Cox for 15 years and the service has never been awesome. We finally decided to jump ship and try another company and it was *so complicated* to leave Cox. You have to either "chat" with them via their website or call and talk to a salesperson. Both wouldn't let me cancel, I went round and round typing "I'm not interested. Please just process the cancellation." on repeat, and they kept avoiding or distracting or suggesting other "deals." Eventually I called and after doing the same thing with a man on the phone, the line went quiet and he never came back to the line. An hour later I got a cancellation email. It was THE WORST customer service I've ever dealt with. read more

Cox communications is my least favorite company on the planet at this point. Expressed how important internet is to my work and have consistently received misinformation and a lack of empathy from the team. Over a week with no internet, missed work orders and additional fees to me for their incompetence. If there is any other option for internet in north Phoenix please contact me I'd love to never do business with Cox again. read more

Has to be the least skilled tech support of any company I've ever dealt with. Don't bother getting a solution from their support line. All they can do these days is follow a couple prompts before scheduling a tech several days later. My Internet keeps going down the same time at night and stays out for 14 hours until the same time the next morning. They can't do anything from their end and the tech found now problem. Tech says it has to be coming from corporate software especially since it's the same time each night. And corporate support is a bunch of bumbling idiots. My internet has been down 63 out of the last 96 hours and they couldn't even schedule a second tech the next day. I have to wait till later in the week when I haven't been able to work until noon every day so far. Don't ever trust them to help you. I'm getting a backup internet option and switching as soon as I can confirm it's steady and reliable. read more

Cox service is so disappointing now. Over the last year or so both their internet speeds and their customer service have degraded to the point where it's almost offensive. The only time they actively provide positive communication with their customers seems to be when they want to upsell you on their services. However, Cox technicians that have come out to address slow speeds have openly advised me that the current infrastructure Cox is using to provide internet service to my address is not capable of delivering the speeds for which I'm already paying (so their dedication to the upsell is just another karma against them). It's a total lack of concern for the customer experience. I used to be a loyal customer, but now all they seem to offer is slow internet speeds, poor customer service, and zero accountability. read more

Cox - cox internet failing to come through again. - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been a COX customer for over 20 years. My old Wi-Fi box worked great for a long time. I briefly tried another provider for 30 days, but when I came back to COX, I was set up with their new Wi-Fi equipment. Since then, nothing has worked the way it should. I live in a small 1,800 sq.ft. home, and the COX box is placed in the same central spot as it has for years, yet the Wi-Fi cuts in and out constantly. COX has not been able to provide a solution - just excuses. They're quick to collect $130 a month, but when it comes to fixing the problem, they've essentially thrown up their hands. Has anyone else had this issue, and found a fix? Thank you! read more

Cox - COX Wi-Fi - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Worst internet company on the planet. A day doesn't go by that the internet goes down. Their solution is to charge you to send a tech out. Going to go with another provider as soon as possible read more

Just another reason why I will NEVER, use COX again! I was told by the person I had I spoke to about canceling my service, that I didn't need to return the equipment, which I thought was odd. Now I'm getting an email saying the return 15 day deadline has passed and they have charged my account $240 dollars! Thank heavens I still have their stupid piece of equipment and plan on returning it to Cox ASAP and I had better get a refund!! STAY AWAY FROM COX IF ALL POSSIBLE! I am also in the process of writing a compliment to TBBB!! read more

After my father passed away, I called Cox to notify them and to ask that they no longer charge his account for services and to send me information on how to get the box sent back. During this time I was dealing not only with the death of my father, but my mother had passed away one month earlier, so I was not in the right mind and did not respond to their e-mail until almost a month later. Because I didn't respond right away, they charged my father again for another month of services, even though I notified them of his death. I called again this time to get a refund and was told that a check would be sent and that no death certificate was needed. Approximately a month later I called to find out where the check was and was notified that the someone would call me back. About two weeks later I called again and was told that the refund had been denied. After spending an hour and a half (no joke an hour and a half) talking to not only one person for an hour but then to a supervisor for half an hour and I was told that because my father can't authenticate the account over the phone that they couldn't help me. I spent probably a good 3+ hours on the phone with the worst customer service in the world. I will never do business with Cox ever. My dad was loyal to a company for over 30 years and they gouge him for money even after he's gone. What a joke! read more

Cox Mobile cheated me out of my trade in. They delayed my 2nd phone order, then after paying $3000 for 3 phones, they declined my ability to trade in my 2 original phones because they closed the work order on the original purchase orders without providing me a method for the trade-in. read more

I know there are many concerns about service listed by customers. This review is directly related to staff at Cox store in Elliot st in South Tempe, AZ. 3 staff members got involved and were all excellent and helped reduce my stress re: issue of concern, that was resolved. Applause for Chaniya, Daniel, and Misael. Excellent!!!!!! read more

They charged me $240 for not returning equipment, even after they told me I didn't need to. it was supposed to transfer to the new owner. $240 is insane for a router that sells for $25 online. They are just scamming customers out of money. Crooks. I sat on hold for 45 minutes trying to get in touch with them and gave up. Good luck getting in touch with them. Avoid them if you can! read more

horrendous. Stay away.. Use anyone else. internet is frequently out at the worst possible time. I know there are better providers

We've had 5 outages in 3 weeks and no explanation from Cox. I'm going to test drive T-Mobile home internet and, if it's reasonably good, dump Cox. read more

We've spent hours on the phone with Cox, visited in person, and jumped through every hoop they asked -- all just to transfer our existing internet service to a new location. Despite confirming the transfer multiple times, on the day it was supposed to happen, they had no record of the order. No one seems to know what's going on. Every rep gives a different answer, everything requires a technician (even when it shouldn't), and nothing about the process is made easy for the customer. It's like they go out of their way to complicate things. Absolutely the worst customer service experience we've had in a long time. If you have any other option, take it. read more

I highly do not not recommend cox. If you get the premium internet deal you're basically paying for internet that cuts in and out and they have constant outages. You better off going to the competitors because then if your internet is shitty you say well hey what do i expect when its 50 bucks a month, NOT 200!!! DO BETTER! and I agreed with the other guy on here Cox sucks Cox read more

For all the effort Cox puts in to getting business, they fail when it comes to ensuring customers will return to their services when we need to cancel. I was simply switching to a business service for exanded needs. I contacted Cox in April to cancle the residential service that was no longer needed. Everything was done via chat and they indicated everything was completed. Fast forward to July and I found out from business support that the residential service was still active even through there were notes inditating it was to be canceled. I have not been on the phone for over 60 minutes, waiting for someone to refund the amounts billed since cancelation. Again, Cox even has notes showing I contacted them to cancel the serivce in April! Business support is generaly good, but residential tends to be very poor. If Verizona, AT&T or Tmobile Cellular is available if your area, I would give it a try....chances are it will be 1/2 the cost and better customer service. read more

Cox is absolutely HORRIBLE. Aaron Willis was the supposed "supervisor" that I spoke to, which I am pretty sure gave me a fake name, and he was unable to help me in any way shape or form. I just lost my job and had $50 to my name, was willing to pay the last of my $50 and I asked for a 7 day extension and they could not accommodate whatsoever. Cox is the worst internet company you could use. T-Mobile has helped me way more than Cox ever has and I hope that this company stops false advertising the fact that they will "help" you cause they don't care what situation you're going through they just want money. read more

Cox Communications are crooks. They get you in a low introductory rate and then they jack it up twice a price, after the introductory time, and when you want to adjust your service or ask for a better price, they mislead you, and then you choose the wrong plan based on inadequate information and then you go back and have to choose the right plan and they gouge you again. All they care about is the money they don't care about their customers at all. read more

I had Cox internet for years. I took for granted the weak signal and the dropped internet, frozen screens multiple times per day. It's a very low quality signal. I never saw a "strong" signal, not on the 4G or the 5G lines. I switched to T-Mobile, and I have not seen anything lower than a "strong" signal for a week now. Consistently. When I cancelled Cox they informed me i was locked into a one year service agreement because my very ill husband had been sold a "business" account rather than a residential account. I'm unclear how that happened, and why we were paying a higher rate than we should have been. T-Mobile will cut my internet bill in half,and it is a much better signal. So happy to get rid of Cox. read more

I had the worst experience. Two hours spending on the phone to be bounced around. Terrible service and for the supervisor to say no correction will be done immediately, they basically swept my complain under the bus. So terrible. read more

Be more HONEST! Don't hang up or disconnect customers when they are trying to cancel your service when it doesn't work over & over, EVERYTIME I was Hung up on or Disconnected when Cox said they would connect me to the Dept. so I could CANCEL my service making it IMPOSSIBLE to cancel so I just took their router to a Cox store and instead of paying COX $200.+ ea month for Horrible service I got a T-Mobile WiFi router for $30. a month that has worked "Perfect" for the last few months since I got it! Now I see why COX has only "1 Star" the Lowest rating you can get because they don't offer Zero stars or that's what I'd give them! read more

SCAMMED BY COX In August 2024, I was convinced by a Cox agent to switch my phone service from Visible to Cox. I had already switched from Verizon to Visible due to the cost and I was unable to afford Verizon. My Visible cost was $35 a month. The Cox agent promised me that my charge would be $25 a month and I believed him so I switched. I have diagnoses that cause me to forget things and I've had soooo many late charges etc because of this. Therefore, EVERYTHING is on autopay. Month one was confirmed on my end and then everything after was $60+?! I got emails but I genuinely thought this was my INTERNET bill. This is absolutely terrible and I'm not even being reimbursed. read more

Cox - Proof of my bill increase - Internet Service Providers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If you ever want to cancel they will not let you. I have been on with a rep named Kina for 21 minutes. Customer for 23 years. Not to mention I tried canceling the other day online and the guy said he was sending me a text code and I never got it - he tried 3 times- so he tried to email it and that did not work either. (Somehow magically I got the one today immediately) Then because it was not going thru I had to try to send a picture of my ID front and back and take a picture of my face. It kept saying no match. I did it 3 times and it would not work. Do better Cox. Everyone is going to leave you for Google Fiber. read more

I pay for gigabit fiber but I am getting only 6 MB all afternoon. Called COX. They might return my call. We shall see.

Cox Communications CANCELLED my service cancellation request. I have 100% moved on to a new provider. But Cox has billed me for a full month, confirmed THEY cancelled my cancellation request... and told me there is nothing they can do about it - stating I must pay the entire bill???????? This is PURELY fleecing an already dissatisfied customer. This is robbery. This one experience has affirmed for me that I WILL NEVER RETURN to Cox. read more

Joseph D is incompetent. His answer for me asking about chronic outages was "there's an outage". Over 24 hours of down service in a month and he insulted me offering a $7 credit. I use my internet for work and have lost $100s in income due to this. Cox keeps asking me to switch to their mobile plan?! What so my cell service can be useless too??? read more
