      When our internet was setup a month ago the technician had to run a cable from our neighbor to the west across our backyard. The tech just ran the line on top of the yard and said someone will be back to bury the line in the next couple of weeks. After waiting almost a month I called into Cox to see when the line would be buried. The individual I spoke with said they would apply pressure to the ticket and get it addressed. Later that same day someone trenched a conduit in to run a line to the cox box located in our neighbor to the south. Although I was not clear why a conduit was buried to a different box than where our fiber line was lying on the ground, I waited 2 days to see if someone would be back out to connect and run a line. When I did call back into Cox I was told that the original ticket had been closed. I did not get an explanation as to why the ticket was closed or why a conduit was buried to a different box than where our line is currently located. The best Cox was able to do was to open a new ticket and schedule 2 days later for Friday June 10th from 5-6:25. I confirmed the appointment via text and waited 2 days for a Cox agent. However, nobody came out last night to bury the line. After calling in again this morning I was unable to get an explanation as to why a technician didn't show up yesterday and once again was told the best cox could do is send someone out on Tuesday. At this point I have no confidence in Cox to show up to their appointments and take care of outstanding issues. The line is black and difficult to see. We have had several incidents with tripping on the cord already and cox does not seem motivated to address the hazard they created.

      12/22/21 cancelled cox subscription for internet. Was charged $***** 12/22/21 for the future month's services. Was informed by cox employee at the store when I returned my rented router that I would receive a prorated refund check in the mail. 3/11/22 I called cox asking about the status of the refund and was told they would work on it. 4/14/22 I called again informing them that I have still not received a check. 5/20/22 I called again to inform them that I did not receive a check and got transferred repeatedly between billing, customer service, and collections where each repeatedly stated they did not deal with that issue and eventually got customer service stated they couldn't hear me and hung up the phone. I was informed by one employee that they did indeed see that I was owed $***** but couldn't explain the reason for the number or if the refund was on it's way.
