BEWARE of Cox swindling more money out of you.
My credit card was canceled due to fraud. I quickly switched numbers on my account and my bill was paid with the correct card on time. It was not late. I was charged a $30 returned payment fee. This is nonsense. There is no returned payment fee incurred from the financial institution when a credit card is canceled or expired. This charge on my account is ridiculous. Of course if you try to talk with customer service and its not about how you want to add products or spend more money with them the call wait time is ridiculous and the live chat online conveniently doesn't work/is buggy. Such an awful company with retched customer service. My building has free wifi and its sketchy but worth cancelling my account. Good riddance.1.1KViews3likes6CommentsCanceling Service
If I am to cancel my service, will I be charged when I restore that same service? I can no longer afford the bill and can not afford to suspend me service either. I am going to have to cancel but I wonder, what I will be charged when I can reinstate my service?1.1KViews0likes1CommentJUST ORDERED CENTURYLINK - Goodbye Cox and Packet Loss Issues
Cox Team - You're officially being fired! This move is a direct result of your failure to remedy gross packet loss issues. I and many others did our part to help solve the problem - actually far beyond what's normally expected of customers. I've spent countless hours of my personal time on the phone, forums, running tests, talking to techs, swapping equipment, etc. all because I wanted to help fix the issue and remain a customer, after all I've been a loyal one for 12+ years. Most depressing thing about this situation is Cox's response - "It's not on our end." You see, regardless of what the true technical issue may be or where it truly resides, Cox ISthe "internet" to the end user. The technical components you leverage to provide services are not your customers concerns. Fact of the matter is your service, and it's been proven, is part of the problem, thus is your responsibility to work to correct, through whatever means necessary. I'm a manager in IT and this concept is not rocket science. I hope this continues to be a thorn in your side and I strongly urge customers who are experiencing this issue to jump ship and impress upon Cox's upper management that this IS a problem and it's not going away. I've included below a ton of documentation to illustrate how rampant this issue is for everyone out there.

I am moving to Texas where I don't plan on having Cox. I want to transfer the account I have in my name to my roommate (we share it anyway), however, I don't have a phone. How can I get this done? Or shall I just cancel the account and let him start a new one? I don't want him to have to pay that start-up cost when it's already working.10KViews0likes3CommentsInternet download speed
I am paying for Cox High Speed Preferred internet which states it has up to 18mbps download speed. However, I have been testing my download speed weekly for the past three months and never get above 2.9. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I use 2wire.com for my tests.4.3KViews0likes3CommentsHow do I reset network name and set a password?!

I'm posting this more or less as a public service and to let security at Cox know that this is going on. I received the following e-mail today. I have verified that it is bogus, but since it does have its own website support at an address that could look convincing (i.e. http://coxcommunications.webs.com/) and they request e-mail replies, this could fool people.
