This arrogantly RuDe person at Cox Juan did Zero for me. He tried to bump my bill for faster Internet and a higher data cap saying I exceeded my data cap(which happened once). I said I was considering Frontier and dropping them(Cox), and he rudely ignored the topic. I said you're not hearing me. I'm going to cancel my 30-plus-year account if I don't get my bill lowered. It's all over the internet, Reddit, etc., that Cox will lower the bill if considering moving service. He said I hear you, and said he could do nothing. I angrily told him he was being rude and wasn't hearing me, and he just chuckled. I said I'm dropping Cox and get ready for a review with you included. The arrogant Juan said, "That's fine. Have a nice day." I went across the street to Alan Gold's Santa Barbara Auto Sounds and signed a Frontier contract with install scheduled in a week. 10 times faster TRUE Fiber Optic Internet Speed(not Hybrid Fiber Cox sells)with No Data Cap and True 4K Streaming DirecTv with more channels for HALF the Cox $350.00PLUS monthly bill. I emailed help.cox@cox.com and received an auto-generated response saying they would refer my complaint to local store, which means absolutely nothing if the Corporate high above dismisses my concern. Believe me I know many many people,even besides my close neighbors as they will all ask when they see a Frontier truck at my house installing and all in my Fellowship and Club. All I wanted was to be politely and be genuinely heard, Newer equipment and a lower bill. Juan never took the time to review my bill and service contract to perhaps provide a better service structure to lower my bill. Instead, he tried to bump me on Internet service and for me to get their Cellular Service. I said I needed a new Box and he never offered to replace mine at anytime and before I left. This isn't the first bad experience I have had with Cox that doesn't lie entirely on Juan's shoulders, but the final straw after decades of a $350.00 plus dollar bill and service issues. Game Over Cox. Frontier, Starlink and other providers are taking over.

We are told every time that we will have a response to incidents within 3 business days but there is never a response and the payments are still missing.

I've had Cox for cable and internet for years and have never had any serious problems. Sure things aren't always perfect but the problems I've had have been few and far between. Beyond that I just had some of the best service I've ever had from any business when I did have an issue. Not exaggerating here. Called on a Sunday at 3:30 pm due to some glitchy playback from the DVR. Just thought I'd make an appt. for Monday. By 5:30 I had 2 techs at my house working in the problem. Did I mention it was a Sunday? The techs were great and went through every possibility with connectors and the incoming cable, checking everything, even in the attic, and replacing a lot of old connectors and some cable but eventually diagnosing a failing DVR. So down to the Cox store a few days later. Walked in and waited about 10 min for the next tech and was out of there in 20min with a new ( ok, refurbished) DVR that works just fine. Wish I had kept all the names of the techs so I could give them a shout out, they were all fantastic and professional. Yeah, cable costs but boy it's easier to pay that bill when you get service like this.
