I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The last area outage was resolved today around 12:45 pm. I've checked the surrounding area and not showing any issues. Currently, your modem is offline not getting a signal with that being said it hards to say if the issue with the modem or not getting a signal. Please try unplugging the modem power cord and unscrewing allow ends of the coax cable, check for any kinks. Reseat the coax cable hand tight power the modem up and see if it comes back online. Also, if you have another outlet you can try that. you can view outages and sign up to receive alerts on www.cox.com/.../outages.html.

    We have 6 inches of snow on the ground. Without heartbeat data, how do you know there are no issues? This is what downdetector app is showing. My modem is fine. There just isn't a pathway to talk to your network.

      I just checked the network and there are no outages in your area at the moment. I also checked the street level and you are the only one on your street that is out. Please email us at cox.help@cox.com and we can set up a technician visit.
