1 starCox came out to perform service on their lines and took out my service in the process. When I asked them to fix it, they told me they would not be able to come fix it for two business days. They offered no other solutions or attempts to rectify their mistake. If i were to choose an internet service again, I would not choose Cox.Review fromAlex K

1 starHave been a customer of cox communications for 13 years. For 13 years I’ve had spotty internet. I live in the city. I gave up about 10 years ago fighting the connection issues. Just dealt with it. New internet company shows up and I buy it. Cox will not let me cancel my services. Past 4 days on the phone for 2-3 hours a day trying to get services canceled and return labels (which the online website says they will do if requested, the agent I spoke with told me the website is outdated).. every agent has hung up on after hearing my story. I am not rude, very polite with “ma’am and sirs” being used. Even the online chat is useless. They tell you to have a good day when they cannot help you. Websites says you have to cancel services before sending back the equipment. Well I am stuck at step one cause no one at cox will help me. This morning I tried again, just to be hung up on after 20 mins of waiting. Wife calls in to try, she wasted 30 mins because she wasn’t authorized to speak to them but yet she was the one who ordered the newer equipment!!! They are truly just trying to push the buck.Review fromRichard M

1 starThis company is pure scum. Every evening at 5 pm my internet speeds are throttled from 1 Gbps which is the service I have to less than 1 Mbps. There is no physical way for network congestion to cause that magnitude in a drop of bandwidth. When I contact customer service about my issue they just tell me that if I upgrade to their 2 Gbps plan all of my issues will go away. They previously said that about my drops in service being due to using my own equipment and that if I got their panoramic Wi-Fi equipment all of my issues would go away. This is a straight false hood. These people are scum. Once AT&T finishes installing fiber in my neighborhood I am dropping cox and switching to them because Cox is unbelievably awful and I don't understand how they're still getting away with it.Review fromCody B

1 starIf i could put no stars I would. We canceled our service with them middle of Aug and was sopposed to get a refund for the rest of the month we didn't use. Never got, but got charged on Sept and again now in Oct for $50 for service we no longer have and they won't refund... Horrible company when you don't want there service anymore.Review fromJacquelyn W

1 starWould give this place less than 0 stars if I could. I just moved into an apartment that only uses Cox and has their panoramic wifi installed already. I asked 3 different times through text and phone if there was an equipment rental fee for the equipment and all 3 times was told no. I screenshot all the chats and save the chat logs. Next month, I was charged $20 for the rental. I ask again through chat and phone and finally got a "yes, there is a rental fee" after I showed them the previous chat logs. I asked if I could use my own equipment instead, and they took me on a 3 hour journey to find the right person. After 3 hours, I get to someone that said "yes, you can use your own equipment. Let us refund you and you can send the panoramic wifi back". They route me to the 6th department of the day and turns out "you have to use our panoramic wifi and this so the wrong department to get something sent back to us. Call the number on the website to do that" and disconnected me from the chat. I'm not sure if this was a joke. I finally went to an actual Cox store and let them know what was going on. They're were able to confirm that I can use my own equipment and can just leave the panoramic wifi at the apartment, and get rid of the equipment charges. Why did this take so much effort? Also I am being charged $50/month for 1280gb. I've lived in a larger city than Phoenix and was charged $50/month for UNLIMITED DATA. They also pride themselves with an app that can track usage. It's only tracking time spent on each device and not actual usage. For someone that meters usage, you should be able to see gb usage for each device. I'm planning on leaving Phoenix just to get away from Cox. A lot of people don't have this luxury and is stuck in their game. How is this company so predatory and useless at the same time?Review fromBrad A

1 starTerrible service. 0 star review for YEARS. Have been a customer for years, the service at my current house (over 10 yrs) would go out EVERY DAY, as well as my neighbors. They could not fix the issue yet continued to raise our bills. I canceled my service with them, kindly explained the issue to the rep on the phone, was told there would be no further billing but I still got another bill for $21, have no idea what it was for. Tried calling in, after normal stupid wait time I hung up, my own time was worth more than the final bill. Went with AT&T fiber that my son ordered for our house. NO ISSUE with the fiber. Stay away from COX is all I can say.Review fromAlexandria L

1 starif i could leave zero stars i would. our internet is always spotty, constantly cutting out randomly, and going out in our area taking hours to fix for an outage effecting, at most, 50 people. i pay over 100 dollars a month for internet that can’t even be bothered to let me speak with a rep because they’re ‘ already working to fix the problem ‘ but taking three and a half hours to do so. i will be looking into switching service providers. this is absolutely ridiculous.Review fromSteven S

1 starTerrible customer service and the service they provide is definitely not as good as they say it is. I've had enough. I think it's time to go without internet if it means that I have to continue supporting a company like this.Review fromAndrianna W

1 starThe worst service and internet I’ve ever had. I moved from Texas to Arizona and have been here a year. My apartment is contracted with Cox and so I have to use it which already irritates me. Last year I went to the cox store and had to purchase a router for my apartment after I was told repeatedly that there should have been a modem there when there was not. I paid, brought it home, and tried to set it up with no success and called for them help. Was told someone would have to come out to help and had to schedule an appointment. Finally got everything set up several days later and working. This weekend I moved to a new unit in the same complex. The week before I requested service transfer to my new unit. Received confirmation that everything was ready to go from an account stand point. Went to connect the modem today and couldn’t get connected. It’s Sunday so all of them are closed and no one’s on the phone so I spoke to several agents via live chat. SPECIFICALLY SAID WE MOVED UNITS SAME COMPLEX I NEED MY HELP WITH MY MODEM, THE SERVICE SHOULD BE ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO THIS UNIT VIA MY ACCOUNT. The live agent then proceeded to CANCEL my account altogether, telling my they just needed to turn off the service at the old apartment to start the service in the new apartment. Transferred me to account services to verify all my account information and was then transferred to tech again. New agent then says we can’t connect our previous modem THAT I PAID FOR because the new unit “should have come with its own unique router” and I can confirm IT DID NOT. so I explain everything from above and asks why I can’t just use the modem that I bought from cox. The person was rude and unhelpful. They told us we cancelled our services, I can assure you sir I did not cancel anything, the moron before you did apparently and now they are making us pay 50 to make a new account and get a new modem. Literally the worst service experience everReview fromRichard S

1 starI had Cox Internet and was very satisfied. So after 25 years with AT&T Mobile, when Cox offered a great package deal to move to Cox Mobile, I decided to try it knowing they were using Verizon towers. The service was not good. So on 3 May 2024, I decided to transfer back to AT&T. In doing the transfer, Cox provided a transfer pin to use when ready to make the transfer. But instead, Cox immediately disconnected my mobile service leaving me and my wife with no way to communicate with anyone or each other since we don't have a land line. I spent 7 hours away trying to get Cox to release the lines while working with AT&T. During this time, my wife was panicking since she couldn't reach me using neighbors' phones. Now, all attempts by me and AT&T to get Cox to release the lines have failed(even though they have disconnect them) and this section of Cox Mobile doesn't work on weekends. This is a new service(Mobile) Cox is offering. This is not the way to treat customers when you are trying to develop a new business line. Based upon this experience, I would not recommend Cox Mobile. But their Internet Service has been fine.
