      They are absolutely the worse phone service i ever had, i bought a iPhone 15 plus brand new ,and paid for it out right. They had problems setting it up, so for about a week i couldn’t use my phone. Fast forward to one month, i am moving at this point i have cox internet and mobile. I contact them to get my internet shut off, i literally have the transcripts in my email, the men who did it ended up canceling my entire service. So i have no phone, now. Because the phone is new i have to have service with them for at least 2 months before it can be unlocked to use with other carriers So i have a brand new phone only locked to cox services that i can’t use because their worker made a mistake and deleted my whole account. I have even lost my number because of them they are the absolute worst they can’t give me my number back can’t unlock my phone so i can use another carrier they can’t just use my old address to get it turned on.

      I have been a Cox customer, and former employee, for over 20 years. Cox more or less has a monopoly on internet service in Omaha as Cox offers the best speeds in the majority of areas. They opted to start charging for "data overages" a few years ago - during COVID, when people were working from home and kids had remote school. Cox offers up to 1.25 TB of data a month. if you have a family of four and utilize streaming services or have kids that play video games, you will likely go over this data cap regularly. You can add unlimited data for $50 or pay $10 for every 50GB you go over - up to a $100 charge. The thing is, data caps have been shown to be unnecessary. The idea that high data use puts a strain on an ISP's network has been debunked multiple times over. Data caps, overage charges and the unlimited data add-ons are 100% a cash grab for ISPs. If you're looking for internet service in Omaha, check CenturyLink fiber and Verizon 5G home internet first. Both get better speeds than Cox and offer unlimited data but are only available in limited areas. I will jump ship the moment something else becomes available in my neighborhood.

      We want to thank Chris S******** for taking the time to file his concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox spoke with Mr. S******** regarding their concerns. Cox advised Mr. S******** of the current data usage policy which can be found at https://www.cox.com/residential/internet/learn/data-usage.html. While there may be a perception that Cox holds a monopoly in the Omaha area, in reality we do not have an exclusive agreement to prevent other cable and Internet providers from entering the market and offering their services. The decision for another provider to enter the market (or not) and extend their services to any home is that provider’s sole and exclusive discretion and completely outside our control. Thank you. Cox Communications

      Notice how the primary point of the response here is about my comment that Cox "more or less" has a monopoly in Omaha. Nowhere does it address the actual issue of my review - outdated data policies that they use to charge customers exorbitant fees under the false claim that excessive data use may "negatively impact network performance for ... other customers". Perhaps this is Cox's way of addressing financial losses due to customers who have disconnected cable services to go with streaming services? If Cox is going to continue with this antiquated policy, perhaps it would be best to adjust the extra fees so that they do not exceed the cost of the unlimited data plan, which is $50. Or they could just get with the times and realize that data caps are a thing of the past and provide service options that better align with today's standard internet usage. Oh, and thank you, BBB, for censoring my name which Cox figured was okay to include in their response.

      I think that this company will hopefully be out of business as the folks that don't have the expertise to stream at this point age out! My 78 year old mother has been on Cox for years and they had the gall to jack her bill up to $300.00+ dollars per month! She called and I have called (listed on her account) to only find myself transferred to Guatemala to speak with someone that can hardly speak English! My mother told me that is why she called me because she couldn't understand the person. I call with the same outcome and made no progress! It appears that my only option will be to cancel her services and find other options! Terrible customer service and there should be laws against US companies sending customer service centers to foreign countries! Anyone ever wonder why our identities get stolen all the time???? Because US companies setup shop on foreign soil and let them access our personal information! LOL! All so they can save a buck to put into another 0ne percenters pocket!! They are supposed to have a manager call me but I am betting that wont happen either!

      The worst. Do not pay their ridiculous prices. Worst customer service, worst company. They will bill you for services you did not sign up for so you have to call them? They know you are busy so they think you will pay whatever to get it overnight. They also take advantage of the elderly in this same way. Find another company.

      We want to thank the customer for taking the time to file her concern. In receipt of this complaint, Cox attempted to contact the customer several times without connecting via voice mail or email. After review of the Cox records on file the customer placed an online order October 27, 2023. The customer disputed knowledge of the installation charge and the amount was credited December 13, 2023. In the order the customer elected a self-installation. Cox’s system automatically charges for a technician on site if self-installation fails within a thirty (30) day period. The customer was also credited an additional courtesy credit which included an upgrade of service. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Should the customer have any further questions about this matter, we ask that they contact our Executive Escalations Specialist at the phone number provided to them (via voicemail). Thank you. Cox Communications

      This is a LIE. First of all I was at work(12 hour nursing shift) so 2 calls within 2 hours is unacceptable for a response. God forbid I sl sleep and don't do the same as their "prompt" fail response. I did NOT elect for self installation. Their shit contour boxes wouldn't work! The tech told me a tech would be the only option. That gut spent 3 days doing his best with boxes that had to be factory reset. After that he realized (on his own, not help) it was the boxes wouldn't work with the cables routed throughout the house and instead needed to be wifi only. The additional "courtesy" credit" for the upgrade of service was billed to me, not a credit at all. "We are going to give you a courtesy credit to upgrade your services but this will cost you" is exactly what they do and you don't know you're being charged till your bill comes. These people lie like it's natural because it is! It's anything to cover themselves and not how you keep or deserve new or existing customers. The tech that spent 3 days at my residence told me I would not be charged for anything and when I called to dispute their charges and gave his name, the rep said "let me check the notes" yet 10 seconds later they took it off? There was no checking "notes" It's Cox's rip off way of thinking you won't check, won't dispute anything, period! I recently called to downgrade because I want lower bills. They HAD to send a new box and when I took back the other, my new box wouldn't work. Immediately I was told a tech would AGAIN have to come out? I asked for tech support via phone. Long story short, it magically was fixed BUT I get an immediate email stating my charges have gone up? Yes, again they failed and tried to charge me more for something completely out of my control. This is why you do not trust Cox or sign up for their ridiculous failure of a company. All they do is lie and rip you off, then lie again!!!

      Cox decided to double the cost of my bill from $65 a month to $135 a month told me my promotion was over I switched to CenturyLink for the same service $70 a month with free modem. I’m disgusted with Cox and their pathetic customer service, so glad they’re alternative options

      DONT GET COX, they will scam you and make up charges even if you’ve never activated your services or use them. Military friends do not fall for their ACP scam it’s a contract and they don’t inform you of that. Customer service reps are illiterate and don’t help at all. just go anywhere but COX. Trust me.

      Cox is a bait and switch SCAM operation. I switched from century link to cox services because they are the only other option in my area. I signed up for the fastest internet option available, they want to not only charge me for the speed of the service but also like a 1990's cell phone company and charge me per GB of "data" used. This should be federally illegal as cell phone company's even have unlimited data at this point. Cox customer service could care less if you are a customer and even went as far to tell me I was stealing internet speed; which cox regulates themselves. GO WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY FOR YOUR INTERNET. COX IS RUNNING A BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM.

      We would like to thank the BBB for the opportunity to assist. Please let me begin with an apology for any inconvenience our customer may have experienced. It is certainly not our intention to cause any frustration. All of our internet packages include a 1.25 TB monthly data plan. If the included usage is not enough, we do have two additional packages that can be purchased for additional usage at an additional cost, one being an unlimited data plan. Our customers also have the ability to monitor usage using a data usage calculator and we also alert customers when nearing usage included before incurring overage fees. It is always our goal to provide our customers with exemplary customer service. As a customer service-oriented company, we know that our success largely depends on our customers' perception of our employees, as well as our company. Once again, we would like to apologize for the frustration that the customer has experienced. We appreciate the opportunity that the BBB has given to us to assist our customer. Jennifer D.

      Zero stars. The absolute worst customer service I have ever recieved. Several times. Cox’s service horrid. You can’t ever talk to a person, the chats shut down mid conversation and when you’re on hold, your call gets dropped. I’m so done with this trash organization.
