Worst post customer service. DONT use cox internet or trust what they say.
I canceled my service with cox about a month ago because I was moving out of state. I called to cancel and my rep told me to leave the equipment inside the apartment and that I didn't need to bring it in. Now cox sends me a bill for $240. I go on their website and speak with 3 supervisors and they all say the same thing. They understand a rep told me not to return the equipment but they're still going to charge me the $240 unless I return the equipment. How does this make sense? Time to hit up the BBB and report cox.

Cox service is making me lose my hair!!!
UPDATE 2/7: today the internet went out andas usual it happened in the same time like before. UPDATE 2/6: so I had a tech come in on Thursday [2/4] to look at the "issue" and they said that it was the POE filter and the splitter that was installed on the main line that's causing the disconnections. They said it was not up to spec with their network. Okay so they replaced it with their own as well as replaced the coax cables that's connected from the outlet to my modem. Today [2/6] I've now experienced a disconnection for 10 mins instead of a mere 1-2 mins prior to this "fix". So I pretty much spent $100 of my money just to get a worse network experience. I, and others in my household, rely on your network 24/7 not just for leisure but also for workand cannot have interruptions this severe. I am now contemplating on reporting this to the FCC the more issues I experience. I've been having issues everyday at the same timeframe with my gigablast. I've never had an issue before but so far it has started on the 2nd week of January to now and it had only worked without issue for two days straight last week.. My network connection would cut off multiple times around 11am-2pm everyday and whenever I ask assistance they would always tell me that they'll send out a tech to check my connection. I've factory reset my modem and router a million times, switched over to another coax port in the house, have tried having a direct connection from the main line to one coax port (no splitter), I've done having direct connection to the modem and all these steps have not resolved the issue. The website says that there are no outages, maintenance, service interruptions whatsoever but there clearly is. It seems Cox isn't as responsive unless it about bill pay. Customer Support would always pull a "let's have a tech come in to check your connection", no my connection isn't the issue, the residents in the vicinity is having the issue andCox doesn't seem to understand that. I've asked multiple times to check the main line that goes in our area but no one is sent to check it. There are multiple reports even on Downdetector of the same issue I'm experiencing.

Cox install contractors
I've had cox Internet before about 4 years ago, recently had it reinstalled. The coax line from the outisde box ran to front of the house the the coax jack going into the house to hookup into the modem. Since then I've changed where my computer is located and where I put the modem. Now I want the coax jack to run to the back of my house to a back room. Do that I don't have to run coax through the attic. I have a brick home. The original instal had no masonry drill bit to go through brick. Rescheduled another contractor and had a note put on the ticket that I have a brick home. That contractor didn't bring a masonry bit. He goes to buy one then tells me two hardware stores didn't have them. Third contractor showed up. Not only did they NOT have a masonry bit. But they didn't have drill. Who goes to a job without a drill when your job will most likely have you using a drill. Cox has a serious problem with their contractors.

Internet outages wreaks havoc on VPN connections
This is a follow-up post as it seems my original post is locked for updates. I often loose my connection which only lasts for several minutes up to an hour or so. I am working from home using VPN and a couple minute outage will result in the VPN terminating. I opened a ticket with COX and they replaced my coax running from the house to the the tap outside and stated they also replaced a component in the tap. However, I still experience outages. I am posting my modem logs in hopes that someone can review and provide a recommendation as to the root of the problem? Thanks Status The statuses listed show the connection state of the cable modem.

Packet loss in San Diego, CA
I have been experiencing packet losses since February. I have been ping testing with CMD every single day and have noticed that these packet losses I have been getting are completely random. It can last about 1-5 mins to 1-6 hours. I have already contacted COX a few times already and they don't see anything when pinging the modem/router. I have checked the cables on my end, none of them are faulty. Resetting the box and router do nothing. They even gave me a new Modem/router just about a week or 2 ago and this problem still persists. Getting work done is getting to become impossible with these packet losses. I even sent an FCC complaint and haven't heard NOTHING back at all.

High-pitched sound from Cox Gateway
About a month ago, I switched to Cox as my internet service provider. The Cox technician installed a Technicolor CGM4140COM Panoramic Gateway here in the office next to my computer. From the start, the Gateway made a high-pitched humming or whirring sound when running. The sound was very distracting, and after a time when I was working here next to it, my right ear would feel discomfort or pressure. I called Cox to report the problem and was told I could go to the Solution Store and exchange the Gateway. I took it in and was given another CGM4140COM model. I hooked that one up, and it makes the same high-pitched sound as the original one. I now think the original one was not defective, but that all CGM4140COM Gateways make this sound. Have any of you experienced the same problem? If you have, do you have any tips or suggestions for how to remedy the problem? Thanks for your assistance.

New modem is still getting constant T3 and Dynamic Range Window violation errors
Equipment: OLD Netgear CM1200 (bought in 2020) Google Nest Wifi and Access Point (bought in 2021) TPLink 5 port switch NEW Arris SB8200 (purchased yesterday) Since the beginning of December 2022 my 2 year old NetGear CM1200 had been disconnecting daily between 6am-9am and every single day I had to physically reset the modem since the COX app and chat support couldn't reset it remotely. COX chat claimed it was my 27 devices connected to Wifi (I had the ultimate plan) and that I needed to upgrade to the Gigablast. Conveniently the Gigablast plan was on a deal that was $5 less than the Ultimate so I upgraded, same issue. I had a technician finally come out a couple days ago and he checked EVERYTHING. He checked the following with the following results Checked the connection to the CM1200, speeds on Gigablast was about 430mbps download and 27 upload. Disconnected the router and modem, connected directly to the Coax cable from the wall, speeds were then 830mbps download and 36 upload. Tested 10,000 packets and none were lost. Checked the network hub in the laundry room that came with the house (I don't use it since I don't have a switch in there), he saw there was a MoCA connection (I believe?) where the outside network Coax line was connected to the office coax line (which my modem was connected to) so he disconnected them and tested the connection to the outside network. The test results were 830mbps download and 36 upload.Tested 10,000 packets and none were lost. He went outside to check the network box on the side of my house and confirmed there is no splitter and that it's a direct connection, he tested the connection and the speeds were the same as inside.Tested 10,000 packets and none were lost. He went to the utilities box and tested the line there, he tested 10,000 packets and none were lost. Speeds were the same as in the house. All tests were normal. Ultimately he said that my modem was "likely" the problem and that I should try a new one to see if things improve. I purchased the Arris SB8200 yesterday, I chatted with Cox to activate it around 2pm and everything was good until 2am when my Google Nest Wifi notified me that the internet went out for 30 mins. I haven't had any outages since 2am so I checked the logs and it looks the same as the CM1200 logs were.

Does COX ROBO scan service with high usage and remove DNS / internet service?
Seems Like COX is Robo scan all stream usage and disconnect you from internet, we may be able to prove this, also why does internet disconnect and connect without having them to come as there is nothing wrong with connection. Also i would think they are scanning all not essential and entertainment urls and if that is the case they are disconnecting so it might be some sort of pack order for usage. please comment on my theory if any one else seems to think in same line, . I think to make good case, CPUC may need hard evidence to see what COX Communications doing. may be there is more to it.

Constant Packet Loss For Years Now.
I have had cox's highest internet plan for as long as I can remember. I have had countless techs in my home including multiple maintenance escalation tickets called out for my issues. Still nothing changes. Every time I call to discuss the same issue, I get the same answers and have to fight to get escalated to a higher tier support so that someone understands what I am experiencing. I now chart all of my packet loss and am building a portfolio to seek legal action. I have the gigablast package which runs me $120.00 per month and can only use the internet efficiently approximately 35% of the time. As I am writing this post I have been incurring packet loss and disconnections for the past 3 hours. If a high tier cox tech would like to look into my account and see how many techs and issues I have had at my address, please do. I am going to keep posting all of my data graphs and information on the forums as calling and trying to get this settled is not working. All I can say is this has been an issue for years in my location and if I had the opportunity to switch providers, I would have left cox a long time ago. Please help! https://imgur.com/a/u0UVYJJ

85142 - The Internet is always hanging and then connecting again. I consistently see Uncorrectable Errors.
85142 - The Internet is always hanging and then connecting again. I consistently see Uncorrectable Errors on Channels 1,6,7,8, and 9 with Arris SB6183 16-channel modem. I confirmed outside connections are solid where we have an Antronix 4-way 5-1002Mhz splitter with four -7dB out connections. We also have a MoCA POE-F201C filter for the incoming line. No major issues until a recent Cox Outage and now constant issues. Any recommendations?
