Ended up paying for an upgrade ( no big deal) phone came into the store the following day. after 45 minutes of waiting for what should have been a pick up and go..., turns out they were selling me a refurb owned by another carrier. so they couldn't activate it. displeased I walked out of the store and nicely told the male and female employee to call me when a new phone arrives. Female employee followed me out side asking me to come back. I told her that I couldn', I have to work. her last words were "F it! we'll just keep your $ then. better luck next time" I left, only to return about 45 minutes later to grab the case and screen protector I purchased. I walked into the store and simply told the gentleman that I'm back to pick up my products I purchased. After both male and female employees rolled there eyes at me, I walked to the desk where MY purchased case and screen protector were and grabbed them. female employee " Excuse me! don't take anything off our Fing desks, and the male employee took them away and wouldn't give them to me and things escalated pretty quickly when fat boy started running his mouth. It's a small town and karma never forgets. Great job to all the mouth breathers that work at the Russel wireless store on N Ferdon. Keep up the good work. Y'all are special.

We started with basic internet service, which was fine for a few months (some short downtimes)…read more Added TV for the Olympics...tv menus terrible, many problems with the digital tv unit (dropped recordings, picture freezes, can't pause/play, etc.). Since we don't watch much TV we let that slide. Internet connection began dropping repeatedly, called tech support (Chris). He said my signal strength was awful and we should consider ourselves lucky things weren't worse. Then he tried to sell us insurance in case the problem was inside the house..um, no thanks. Then he scheduled a service call for two days later. No one showed up. Called tech support..got Justin. He said they didn't sched the appt right and someone "might" be able to come out later the same day. Asked for supervisor since I didn't want to wait on someone maybe showing up. Justin put me on terminal hold. Called customer service, got Tonya. She said she'd get a supervisor and promised not to put me on hold. She then put me on terminal hold. Called back and got Cherissa..she said no supervisor available. I could her someone faintly in the background giving her instructions so I asked for them. It was Pam who went and got me a supervisor without putting me on hold. Supervisor Mr. Ellis said no guarantees but he would call back and let me know when they could come out to fix it. He called back hours later and said someone would be there that night. Tech came out late that night and found I had signal strength outside the limits. Traced the entire system and discovered that the problem was at the drop at utility pole..not putting out prescribed signal strength. He put a call in to get it fixed (said it would be 24 hrs) and in the meantime, changed one of my splitters so that it sapped less signal strength. He said was within the ok zone (+10 - -10db..I was now at -7.6db). He also found that I was being charged for equipment I didn't have...I'm on the phone now (its been 90+ minutes and 7 departments to try to get the charge removed) while I type this update. Today's tech support: first the standard condescending instructions about how to unplug router and modem and reset everything. They could see my signal strength was in the red (apparently they don't get a # just colors). Didn't know anything about the problem with the drop but said if it was true it would be two weeks to fix (I saw the Cox bucket truck drive by, turn around and leave after doing nothing). Reset didn't help so they sent me to 'Tier 2' tech support...very snotty guy who didn't want to listen to any info from what the previous tech guys did or signal strength etc. He claimed it was someone stealing my wifi or my microwave oven. This is completely illogical since the signal strength is being measured prior to the wireless router. Tried to convey this and that the modem is showing yellow lights not green, he replied that the modem lights have no meaning. Also, my wifi is password protected with a strong password, WEP2 and I live out away from town. I went ahead anyway and let him guide me though changing my wifi channel and network name (which makes you change that info on every device in house btw)..this is the same baloney the UVerse guys did all the time but their basic tech guys could do that...no change, no improvement, no consistent internet. It's been a week now and I'm giving a star back solely on the customer service of Maude who answered one of my phone calls to tech support. She listened, looked at my readings, apologized for all my troubles and did some research on my case. She called back the next day and again today. Cox should have all techs learn from her..she acts like she gives a damn. We have another tech appt tomorrow to fix the drop. I spent several hours reading about my problem (very common) and discovered I can read my modem signal...I can see the low signal strength and also that it is sometimes on 5 channels and sometimes on only one. Sometimes I'm at max advertised speed (according to speedtest.net) ~30Mbps (if I take my TV splitter out to get more signal strength), sometimes I'm dropped completely, sometimes Im crawling at .1Mbps..these are download speeds btw, my uploads speeds are excellent. So I asked for a new modem...removed router from system and had same results. Alas no FIOS, not even UVerse, etc. available in our area (Shalimar).

I do not need 2 more lines but was told if I did that I would save money and the only way to get new phones was to do a 24 month plan and the "Promotion" he told me multiple times (I have witnesses) was for Buy one phone at full price and you get a second phone free. However that was a complete lie and not only am I now paying for 2 additional lines that have never been used, he conned me into a more expensive plan that I never wanted to change AND charged me full price for BOTH phones!

I stopped in and was informed they didn't have batteries and would have to send the computer out to a company and it would be $89 for the shipping. They said I should try Batteries and Bulbs in Ft Walton, where we were staying. If they had batteries but couldn't put them in then Best Buy could install it for $40. I called Batteries and Bulbs and they told me that they didn't have any batteries and didn't have anyone to install them. I then tried calling a Batteries Plus and the person who answered was the one I had just talked to at Batteries and Bulbs. Ironically when she answered the phone when I called Batteries and Bulbs she answered " Batteries Plus" and I asked her if this was Batteries and Bulbs and she said yes. Not sure what that was all about but this time she directed me to uBreakiFix by Asurion. When I called to inquire if the had Apple computer batteries I reached and answering machine telling me I could set up an appointment. I hung up and drove to the store. There was nobody there at the time so I was taken care of right away. This was on a Monday and they Had my computer ready by Thursday. They sell insurance plans for $29. A month and you can use it to fix any electronic in your home. With 2 Apple laptops, iPhones, iPads, tvs etc. It sounded like a good deal. $50 was knocked off the repair price and when I said I needed a new screen protector for my iPhone they tole me with purchasing the insurance I would get it free and they put it on for me.
