Actual Chat Session with COX
Here is an ACTUAL chat log with COX, about their rates for High Speed Internet. Note that they cannot provide service to the address I gave, even though it is actually the address of COX in my area!

Pleased to have you on chat. How are you doing today?

The cheapest rate for high speed Internet is listed at $46.95. I know others have gotten a lower rate. Is Cox trying to discourage new customers?

Over billing for phone service
I dropped my Verizon home phone line a couple years ago for the Cox home telephone service. It was only $9.95 a month compared to about $30 a month for the Verizon line. I had every single cable channel, HDTV Internet the works from Cox. I did notice that my monthly bill had soared over $200 a month and inquired numerous times as to why it was so high... Only after disconnecting a bunch of services and going through a detailed review of my bill did I discover the $9.95 phone service was really over $45 a month!!! I have disconnected it now and am seeking a rebate of the over charge... Whatever you do, don't sign up with Cox Communications for anything if you don't have to.

Beware
If you are fond of your money please do NOT subscribe to services with Cox communications in AZ. They are not honorable. I called in to get a vacation hold for 6 months. I asked for a confirmation number..was told that they don't give one and that they would take care of it..We had a death in the family. I completely forgot to check up on them..we pay the bill automatically. I trusted them to keep their end of the bargain..They did not! Shame on me for not checking up on them..Shame on them for not honoring our vacation hold when they said they would. I did make a note that I HAD called them . They just denied it. So beware and always check up on Cox if you are an unfortunate customer.

Outrageous Returned Payment Fee
I am slapped with extreme return payment fees - 239% of the original bill!

My monthly internet bill is $40.99 and I am signed up for the automatic payment on my credit card. Last month, I lost my wallet and had to block my credit card. Unfortunately, the next day was the due date and the automatic payment failed.

Then, I got this bill with $97.81 for the credit card denial ($44.48) and returned payment fee ($50). This is 239% of my original monthly payment. This is extremely unjustified. If they see the credit card had problem, they could have sent email to me, just like Netflix did! I could fix my credit card information on Netflix thanks to their smart warning. On the contrary, Cox communications takes advantage of this unfortunate situation and charges $97.81 on top of my original bill.

I want these monster fees waived.

Billing
I have been with Cox for about 3 months now. I recently received a bill with a $50 return check fee and a $25 fee. I had paid my bill on time through my bank and so I knew this could not be right.

I called billing and was asking why I had to return fees when I did not pay a second time and I had already paid my bill. They said I had signed up for easy pay and that it came out automatically.

First of all, I did not sign up for easy pay on purpose (the button is beside pay now). Secondly, why would they authorize ANOTHER payment if I did not have a balance on my account?

I asked to have these charges removed because I did not want bill pay and I already paid my bill and had a 0 balance. They told me that they would have to submit a refund request and that I MIGHT be refunded!

I think I should have been refunded right away since it is their fault for billing me for a 0 balance and then charging me a fee.

Billing
So I call Cox Communications this evening to tell them that I got a notice my bill is due and I would like to pay it on the 15th. The CSR tells me that I have to look at your account and see if that is possible, so I said okay. She then tells me that due to my being delinquent they can not help me out. I was quite stunned since one my account is not delinquent, two I never had an issue like that before and they have never had a problem helping me out before when I needed a couple of extra days to pay them and lastly she told me that under since I will not pay the amount due that they are going to have to charge me some ridiculous re-activation fee. I was just completely blown away when I was told this, I mean I have been a pretty loyal customer since moving back to AZ almost four years ago and this is how they reward customer loyalty. The best part about the conversation I had with their CSR is when I asked her how long do I have until my services will be shut off? She tells me the 13th, seriously you couldn't give me two days to pay you the amount that I owe you. What a joke Cox Communications is. All I have to say is that these guys are scum. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who has encountered problems like this. I can only hope that someone who has the power to make a decision at Cox pays attention to these complaints and will actually do the right thing. However, I just don't see that happening. So here is the big "FU Cox, I am going to do everything in my power to make sure people are aware of your poor business choices. I HATE YOU COX COMMUNICATIONS!

Technician stole my jewelery box
Last Tuesday i ordered cox Tv service to be added to my account, on Wednesday morning the Cox cable tech showed up on time, he had to hook up the tvs in 4 rooms of the house, and while working in my bedroom, i was standing next to him, till when my baby started crying, i left the room and ran to my son, by the time I he finished, I went back to my bedroom, realized that my jewelery box went missing!!
That's outrageous!!!
That lowlife stole all our jewelery and that's basically all what we had.

Thieves and poor customer service
WORST Company EVER!!! Don't use them if you have a choice of other companies. Hopefully you will be spared the aggravation and headaches, and just outright criminal thievery that COX seems to get away with. They are stealing from me by keeping my overpayment (and reducing it) that I have requested back on numerous occasions.

I only use COX as an ISP, only because I don't have a choice of any other ISP. I used to have them for Cable TV and Phone as well but canned those services due to many problems a couple years ago. Now I don't have a choice for Internet access so am stuck with this TERRIBLE Company.

COX has the WORST service I have ever encountered. I overpaid them by accident recently (thought I was paying another creditor of mine, electronically) and it's taking an act of congress to try to get them to pay my money back (hundreds of dollars). COX cashed my electronic check almost 3 weeks ago and now they have been chipping away at my overpayment since it's taking forever to get any cent of a refund from them. If there was another provider in my area, I would switch in a heartbeat. This company has horrendous service to say the least!!!

If you have a choice of another provider, I highly recommend that you go with another company for TV, Phone, and especially Internet access. Save yourself the headaches.

Unlawful entry and Destruction of Personal Property
In March of 2010, a Cox cable technician unlawfully entered my back yard by climbing over a locked gate and proceeded to cut the wiring that ran along the side of my home. I was unaware of his presence until I heard him hammering on the side of the house. He never knocked or notified me that he was on the premises. He wanted to bury new cable lines. When I refused, he then spliced the cables five times and refitted them with connectors.

This caused me to lose most of my channels viewable with an hdtv. When I complained to Cox, they wanted to charge me $60 extra per month to have my channels restored. Cox has even admitted that the technician acted far beyond the scope of his duties, however they have refused to repair the damage. The green box cable is next door, the filtering of channels is lawfully installed at the box, not on my home. The cables are my property because the house was wired for satellite, not for cable TV for over 20 years. In order to resubscribe to satellite TV, the wiring will have to be redone all over again. Cable companies are deliberately doing this in order to penalize customers who may leave them for satellite. I am interested in a class-action lawsuit. I live in BR, LA. Put an ad at Craigslist list in order find me.

Innacurate Billing
I received my bill today and there was an ON DEMAND purchase made on Aug 16th for 15.99. I asked my husband if he ordered any movies this month and he said NO. So I went back in my calender and realized that that was a date that we were both working and the kids were over my mother house for babysitting purposes. So NOONE was even in my house. So I called COX and asked what the charge was from and the rep said 'An Adult Movie' and gave off the name of some movie. I told him no one was home that day/evening and he said 'Well someone ordered it.'
I told him this was rediculous because I have paystubs to prove that noone could have been in my home that knows the pin code to order, which he said was endered in on the box.
He told me sorry but there was nothing he could do. I just resigned my services Aug 10th for another year so I was curious if someone elses account got crossed with mine. He kind of laughed. I was so mortified to be fighting over an Adult Movie, one that we didn't even order.
Finally he decided to credit our account back, but told me that this NEVER happens. I am happy with that result, but I asked what happens if it goes on my bill again? He said we will just have to pay it. I asked if there is a way they can see if someone is stealing cable off my line, and that maybe that happened. He said they don't investigate that. It's my responsibility to know where the lines are going!! Whatever. Just keep an eye on your charges.
