Our internet cuts out ALL THE TIME, I work from home and having it keep cutting out multiple times a day for up to 30 minutes makes it nearly impossible to be productive, Cox won't do anything and says it's their old wiring, super horrible company I can't wait till there's some competition and puts them out of business read more

the worse #$##$ service. this company steals from their clients. thieving sad ass cox cable. im paying for services that are not being rendered yet i still have to pay them the full amount each #@÷#$ month for service that is not being rendered... cox cable in your hole.. SHAME ON THIS COMPANY..... read more

Update to the update. WE are still having trouble with the DVR! today I went to the store and was basically laughed at because I felt their service is less than reliable. I have had to reset the box several times on my own and had techs out to my house to change the box, but what is the use of a DVR if you keep losing your shows? Basically, none! So just want to let you know how COX is with their customers. Last Update: We had the same problem with that stupid DVR box again. I just want to cancel. It is a bunch of trouble when it goes down. You lose your shows, you have to search for new recordings...It's horrible. Although at first I gave Jacob a 5 star rating when it went out again I was angry. read more

Cox is tbe worst company hands down. Bills are always going up, customer service reps dont know what theyre talking about and give conflicting information. Thank God we cancelled our services after our bill went from 160 to 225!!!! Ridiculous! read more

Cox Cable is a rip off. I'm paying $195 a month for internet and two cable boxes for two TV's. No special channels and I'm having to call an average of once a month because of cable related issues. Tonight I'm calling because my recordings are not working again. Second night in a row and now they tell me it's going to take 24-48 hrs to fix the problem. Then they tried to screw me over on a refund of just yesterday of $3.97 when I did the math it cost me $6.50 a day !!!! Nice try you crappy cable company. I'm a disabled senior citizen and can't afford their lousy service one more month. Going shopping for a different cable company and when I find one . . . believe me I will never have Cox Cable again read more

Stopped by the "Solutions" store to return some equipment. Was required to check in to do so. There were already 8 people sitting and waiting to be seen by an employee of the store. At one point there were 7 employees (4 with dark blue shirts and 3 with light blue shirts) milling about the store, not helping any of the waiting customers. After waiting almost 20 minutes for contact by an employee was able to drop off their equipment. Was due a refund for some unused days of service. Would the money due be refunded at the store, heck no, you have to wait "about two weeks" for the refund to be mailed. Absolutely terrible customer service, but what is new when it comes to Cox. When you are the monopoly in town you do as you please. read more

Cox Store - Television Service Providers Near Me - Santee, California

My cox email crashed and I tried to fix it using the on line chat feature with no success. I called cox and was on the phone for almost 30 minutes with a technician trying to fix the issue when we were disconnected and I was not called back so I decided to try my luck going to the Santee location. Although the store does not have any service techs on site, Jessica was able to help me fix the issue. She did a great job and was so helpful! read more

I got to the door about 5 minutes before the Saturday opening time. There were many people ahead of me and I was ready for a LONG wait...d;^( Was I in for a pleasant surprise...d;^) They had a 'triage' system where everyone got to the right place to take care of their needs! I was behind the middle of the 'pack' and got out in about 5 minutes. They were working like a well oiled machine...d;^) read more

I went to change out my box. Got there maybe 10 min. before the doors opened, and I estimate I was #30 thru the door. I set the stopwatch on my phone a minute after I was registered. I turned it off when I walked out of the building. It was less than 12 minutes. Kudos to Dennis. He was a credit to the store. That's the complement. Let me share some observations. While waiting to enter I was in a group conversation with several others that experienced the same situation I had the night before. Our cable boxes failed on Friday night. There must have been more than a dozen with the same box. Just before I signed in a lady leaving made a comment that if your box quit last night, it would now work. I did not elect to leave, but wanted to get a new box. Cox has been trying to get customers to change to the new "mini boxes". I chose not to change because most reviews on these indicated many problems connecting them. Dennis tried his best to upgrade the box and up-sell the service. I respect him for that, and for the tact with which he accepted my rejection. I started this visit with prejudice based on my last visit. Today's experience righted the ship. As we said in the Navy, BRAVO ZULU (Well Done) read more

The saga continues. Walked in & was asked what I needed help with. Me: I would like to trade in my Contour box for the new Contour 2 box. Sign in girl: OK, you are on the list. 30 minute wait. Me: That's cool, thanks. 40 minutes goes by, I get to the counter. Counter boy: We don't have the new boxes in store, you have to schedule an appointment. Why the hell did the sign in girl not know that? Quit wasting my time! C'mon Google Fiber! Got a second Contour box for the house at the Cox store. Rep says "Follow these instructions to install, then call this number to activate the box. To sync the new box to the main box to watch and record shows via the new box, call this number and they will walk you through syncing the boxes" Setup went fine. Activated itself, all channels appear to work. Called the number to sync boxes: "Sorry, we have to send out a tech to do that" "WHAT!? Rep at your store said I could do it over the phone!" "I do apologize sir, they have been doing that a lot lately, but I can schedule a tech to come out on Tuesday" Two thumbs down. The only reason for the second star is the AC, free wifi and Spongebob Squarepants playing on a TV in the lobby. read more

Why are these guys all the same??? Worst customer service standards. Basics in welcoming comforts. Conveniently forget to tell you about discounts or how to obtain your rebates. Ugh. Just crooked. Two stars only because I worked them to go what was due to me every three months. I've moved on. read more

Very rude and unhelpful employees. No one wanted to help, and when I asked how long the wait was the employee looked like it was a chore for him just to tell me. They wanted me to wait 30+ mins just to return old equipment, I only stopped by since I was in the neighborhood. But once I saw the wait and rude service I left and requested a free prepaid box and label online, and simply dropped it off at the UPS. Save yourself a trip if you're just returning equipment. read more

On july 14 went to cox store located in mission gorge/ santee office. At the front door they refer me to ( Christina ) I just asked here when is my cycle for the $29.99 will end ?and the $59.99 will start.it took me couple minutes just to have my simple question answered, then i asked if there is any promotion or plans to reduce the $59.99 then she started to be really rude and bad attitude by not answering any question. Then just asked if I cancel my plan can we have a new plan with better deal ? She kicked me out of the store . Here am asking the management staff in this store : Is that the way you guys treat your customers in store? I never felt bad like today to get treated so bad from Christina and btway I have been with cox since December 2012. That was my first time visiting cox store in person instead of calling. I'm looking around to move to other company has better service and nice customer service. Guys cox start increasing prices!! Watch your bill every month and do not make automatic payments. Hope to see response from that shop management Regards read more

What a mess. Only location in East county. It was hot, other than the young girl at the door staff not overly friendly. There's only one pay yourself machine and the line was long. Waiting time to talk to an associate was over 30 minutes. It also took me three trips (3 months) to get my billing corrected. I have NEVER asked to go paperless because I am a visual person, as I explained to them each time I went ther, but, I was almost late paying my bill over 2 of those months because I did' receive a paper bill. Fortunately my neighbor tells me when he gets his bill just to make sure I received mine, which I didn't. I finally got to a real supervisor who corrected the problem for me. What a hassle. read more

My fiance and I had to come into the store to cancel our houses account due to my grandfathers passing..was feeling down as its not easy doing anything like this... Christina and Tamara were able to help me and not only take care of the cancelation of his current account Christiana made it a walk in the park to set up a new account for us. She made sure to take time to explain and go though all the service bundle that would work best at our household. One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Walked in discouraged walked out a happy customer! To another 50 years! read more

What a great Customer Service I got in this place I have been using Cox service over 8 years I never had an issue, this time i'm writing this review because I got very VIP Customer Service from CHRISTINE AKKA I wish I can give her more than five stars because she's really deserve it. For the past 8 years I have the best experience with her thank you so much CHRISTINE and I really appreciate your help. You're the best I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family. read more

I created a Yelp account just so I could thank Reema at Cox Solutions store in Santee one more time. I had the absolute best customer service from Reema. She went way above and beyond the scope of her job description. She is extremely professional and friendly. I never thought I would enjoy visiting a Cox store as much as I did. Thank you very much Reema for your outstanding service. I definitely will be staying with Cox and look forward to returning to the store should the need arise. read more

Cox I been with you for 20 years. I have the internet for now. But this week.... I am getting rid of the cable and the boxes. ( I don't know how long I will keep the internet...) If I keep getting jerked around like I do with the cable. I am tired of hanging to have call every 3 months because my princess keep going up... Or as your workers would "I lost a discount" Ever 3 months I have to call you guys and wait on hold forever to talk to someone!!! TOP IT OFF NOW YOU WANT ME TO SIGN UP FOR A 2 YEAR CONTRACT!!!! BUT YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE MY PRICE FOR 2 YEARS!!!!.. AND YOU TELL ME THE PRICES ARE GOING UP THIS JANUARY AND JANUARY $30 EACH YEAR!!!! BUT YOU ADVERTISE ON COMMERICALS YOU DON'T HAVE CONTACTS! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.... You also advertise free HD... But if I go to watch a show on Demand... I have to pay $2.99 you want HD or I can watch it free but it's not HD. I am fed up with your side and your decetiful ways. Now if you jerk me around with my internet will cancel that too... Also you advertise free HD in your commercials. But you failed to tell people... That it's not all free... Especially on demand for example if you wanted to go watch Game of Thrones you can watch it free regular TV or you can pay a $1.99 to $2.99... Etc just to get it HD. On Demand. So you're free HD that you advertised on commercial is not all honest... Sincerely your 20-year customer saying goodbye read more

So customer service here today was great! I had a pleasant and very informative conversation with Sarah. She was very patient and listen to my voiced concerns. She had me smiling in no time. My wait time was maybe 2 minutes tops. My time with Sarah was all of about 5 mins. I was in and out in less than 10 mins with all my needs met. Thank you! read more

SHOCKED! based on the current reviews but wanted to take a moment to leave a review let me just say one person can make all the difference Sarah was amazing and helped me very fast and effectively. There's was a guy who came in the store and was super rude and obnoxious so if your one of those people leaving a bad review remember treat others how you want to be treated. Great service I was in and out even walked me to the door with my equipment!!! read more

What a joke, Chris stepped in to help with my account and I applaud his incompetence.

Came here to swap out our ancient Cox box for Contour. Linda helped us out. Very friendly, helpful, answered all of our questions and gave us a quick demo. Took about fifteen minutes. No waiting on a Wednesday before the lunch crowd. Easy parking. The lot is too small for the amount of stores so I can see that being a problem at peak hours. There's parking behind the buildings. Had issues getting the box working but a quick call to Cox had us up and running. read more

Sarah was such a doll! She's helped my mom upgrade her WiFi (finally) and even got them on a new cable plan. You're awesome Sarah!

I have to say the customer service was amazing. I know this place got bad reviews for whatever reason. Sure there is a wait, because there are busy with a store full of customers and they take their time. They don't rush their customers out. Your wait is solely based on the customers ahead of you and what they requires assistance on. There was one employee giving a gentlemen a whole rundown on how Contour works on their display and answered every single question he had with excitement and passion. My experience was short and sweet. I had to drop a box off. When I was next a beautiful woman Christine called my name, greeted me, shook my hand and asked what I could be helped with. She was nothing short of sweet, attentive, engaged, empowered the true definition of customer service. She even walked me to the door and said thank you, have a great day and opened the door for me! She's awesome! read more

I want to start off by saying this is not against the store itself. I have now talked to Cox 4 times in the last 2 weeks to cancel my cox service. I am past due on my account because I was waiting for a final bill from cox so that I could pay them and be done with it. I called 2 weeks ago to cancel and that did not happen the person was super unhelpful and transferred me to the business department when I am residential than they transferred me to the residential department to cancel my service. The lady who answered stated that I could just wait until the end of April and they will disconnect my service themselves I stated no I want my service cancelled now. She said she did it than I got a call 2 days later from the billing department stating if I didn't pay my bill they would disconnect my service and I explained that my service should already be disconnected and I am waiting on the final bill to pay it, he said he would take care of it and make sure it gets disconnected. I received a call from a man named Alex who was calling about my cox account and he proceeded to tell me that I should of gotten the names of the agents and a conformation number which I am usually pretty good about but I have a bunch of family stuff going on so I didn't. He kept saying that I should of gotten this information and I got a little bit upset and stated that I shouldn't have to get a conformation number or the agents name if they did their job. He than hung up on me. So not only was I dis satisfied with the internet service I had always having to unplug my router to get it to work. They didn't even care that I was cancelling or ask why or try and keep my business not that I would of stayed but I worked for at&t and I always treated my customers with respect and tried to understand what they had gone through and why they were not happy. I just can't believe that this type of customer service is allowed I would of been fired if I had treated our customers this way or suspended. So I hope everyone else has a better experience than I did I might have caught these 5 representatives on a bad day. read more

Our cox service for phone, internet and cable have been off since February just about every day. You call they send a tech person who says can't help you because cannot come in your house. I am sure they come in to install new service they aren't going to be turning down there business. But we will definitely continue to send you a bill and expect you to pay. Every time you call you get someone different and you get told something different. I know understand why Cox Communications only has 1 1/2 stars. In San Diego many things are open you can even go to some restaurants. read more

Bad promos and pricing. We were a customer for seven years. We have since went to at&t.

I have nothing better to do than give Cox Comm 45 minutes. That is the wait time. I am a senior citizen & has to cancel Cox because of the 165.00 a month bill. No senior discount. I have been paying Cox for 35 years and they don't care. They have 2 people working in this store. Does that make sense to anyone.? Oh wait two more people are here. I hate this place and their terrible service. read more

Asked about my bill to get it lower. The guy who was supposed to help me needs to lose the attitude and learn his products and billing No help at all...he was a complete tool I will not mention his name as his attitude would bring shame to his family I hate cox customer service read more

******Absolutey LACKING IN KNOWLEDGE when it comes to the COX SWITCH TO DIGITAL. We stood / waited for 40 minutes 1/15/15, TWICE, to get a mini box to work with our home TV service. We have two TIVO DVR's - they told us REPEATEDLY - that the COX MINI BOX would work with our TIVO'S. IT WILL NOT. Idiot people, with no training, no working knowledge base here. They just vomit out information that is totally incorrect. WHERE ARE THE TEAM LEADERS / SUPERVISORS - in the back is where we watched them. Smoking and joking, not helping those idiot babies on the floor. read more

This is the worst store and worst staffing ever. I came and they were on short staff and they had only 2 staff and they got on our nerves making us wait more than 2 hours because they are the worst staff ever. I recommend AT&T read more

A very busy Saturday, but each worker was attentive and my product was changed out with no trouble. Appreciate the experience.

Even though i was dumping Cox cable in favor of Direct TV, this store in Santee was awesome! i was expecting a horrible experience like i used to get at the El Cajon Store, but it was great. Too bad the prices are so high (and change EVERY month) otherwise we'd have stayed. read more

This place is clean and nice. Staff is helpful and friendly. The only reason I didn't give four stars is because I had a few issues with billing which is a problem as cox as a whole and the store is obviously a branch of them. But this location is great and people working here are great if you need to speak to someone in person instead of the phone this is the place to go. read more

This store is horrible/ From the start to the end. My grandmother passed away and her account was to be cancel. A death certificate was provided and they kept giving me the run around. We presented a death cert and still not cancelled they told me to call a number which I've done. Seem like no one there knows what to do. Makes me sick how they respond so generic they don't care. Cox has no customer service . Don't sign up with cox find a better service who truly cares. read more

Goodness. After having Cox for 10 years, I switched to AT&T 10 years ago. I left Cox because of their horrible customer service and unprofessionalism. Figured Cox might be better by now, so we signed up on a promotional offer. Their Internet connectivity has been horrible. And the Cox Santee store truly exemplifies their horrible customer service. I needed to switch out my defunct modem, and was told that the Cox Santee store would be open for sure. I triple-checked this, as I didn't want to pull out our entertainment center and disconnect everything, only to find out that the store wouldn't be open as promised. I was assured that the store would be open from 10am - 2pm on December 24th. I tried to call the store directly repeatedly over previous week, but they do not answer their phone. Ever. So, I took the plunge and proceeded with pulling out the entertainment center, disconnecting the cable modem, and taking it into the store to switch it out at noon today. Sure enough, the store was closed even though the hours listed on the door specific to December 24th stated they should be open as Cox had promised they would be - from 10am to 2pm. Calling in to speak with a Cox supervisor, I was informed that the store personnel had taken it upon themselves to shut the store down without having Cox' permission, while still putting in for the full hours they were being paid to keep the store open until 2pm. And somehow there was a profanity-laced note -inside- the glass window adjacent to the front door, complaining the store wasn't open when it was supposed to be. Not sure if someone broke into the store to leave it. Sure enough, there were plenty of customers showing up and leaving in the short time we were there. Even the Brinks armored truck stopped by. It appears Cox' horrible customer service and complete lack of professionalism hasn't change a bit since I decided to leave 10 years ago specifically due to those reasons. I can't even imagine management team that runs the Cox Santee store. What a joke. Ended up just having a replacement cable modem sent by mail. And I'll drop the defunct unit off at the UPS store to not have to deal with this store. I mean, how do I know if they'll even be open if they won't answer their telephone and their posted hours mean nothing? read more

One of the worst customer service team I have ever had to deal with, My dad is a new customer having issues with internet, engineer comes out for 2 mins Cox bills him $75 for the visit because he blames the WIFI. I called them to let them know that a: everything is hard wired and I just tested the line by connecting my laptop to the modem and the line still disconnects. They change their story and say oh its the wire outside your house then and still not waving the charge. Crazy logic read more

Cox is changing all our TV channels to digital. I tried most of the day to contact the Santee store for help and got a busy signal. I finally called a national Cox number and after a long wait they told me that I needed an IR Blaster so our Tivo could communicate with the Cox Mini Box. They said Cox does not mail these Blasters and that I would have to travel to the Santee store to get one. In frustration I called Tivo who referred me to the wonderful folks at WeaKnees.com who sent me the IR Blaster and it arrived the next day (see my glowing Yelp review of WeaKnees). I need to know exactly where the IR Sensor is on the Cox Mini Box to aim the IR Blaster. I teach Digital Signal Processing for universities and have written 2 books on DSP but the Cox protocols are very arbitrary and there is no mention of the details I need in any Cox documentation. If there is ANY way to leave Cox and save the $250+ monthly charge I would be interested. Perhaps using a little more of the corporate profits to provide better documentation, technical support and/or increase staff at the Santee (and I'm sure other) offices would help Cox keep customers. Cox is not MY friend in the digital age. read more
