Why do current subscribers get screwed on prices?
I've been a Cox TV & internet subscriber for over a year. I'm looking to upgrade and lock in prices and the bundles that I'm offered are FAR more expensive than the prices offered to new subscribers. If you want to users to recommend Cox to their friends or family, this is not the way to run a business. My TV/internet bundle went from $79 a month to $129 a month after six months. I want to lock in at $89 a month but that is not an option for current subscribers. Note, I am not locked in to a contract. Cox just doesn't offer me competitive pricing because I currently subscribe. So much for loyalty.3.3KViews0likes3CommentsConsidering switching from DISH to Contour - confused about something
Two questions that aren't readily apparent to me: 1) Is Contour 2 live and being distributed? (As opposed to "Contour 1"?) 2) I have three TV's, and want identical DVR on each. So do I need the Record 6 Whole Home DVR and two Contour HD Receivers, or three receivers? (Does the Record 6 act as a receiver for the TV it's on?) And one question about pricing - I can renew DISH for a two year cost of $2203.44, or sign up with Cox for $2939.52 (similar channel and hardware configs, also assuming I only need two Contour receivers). Pretty significant difference. Any thoughts on getting Cox to align with (or beat!) DISH? Regards1.8KViews0likes3CommentsPrice went UP! Itemized Bill View Gone! 02/2/22
2/2/22 = Internet/TV price went UP from $149.52 to $156.53. No advance notice. Plan used to be called Internet Preferred. Plan was also NOT some temporary price deal set up to expire. Now, also, at the same time, the accounts billing page on the COX website has no plan name mentioned. And more importantly, no more itemized billing view all on one page! Any and all equipment plus pricing info is now several clicks to obtain. Along with most service plans. Side by side visual comparing of plans is also no longer found or well hidden behind a lot of extra clicking to find. Plan names are no longer obvious for viewing. Or do not exist by their name anymore. QWEST phone used to use these tactics before competitionfinally made them nicer. But it was too little, too late for them at that point. Most of us in my town left QWEST in droves. I wish some companies with similar quality services as COX would step in, compete, and reign in COX's marketing tactics. This is just getting ridiculous. Not impressed with all the current choices out there at the moment. Or COX's newest online visual set up of tiers and pricing structure. Suddenly, things are less transparent and sketchy compared to their past online visual presentation of services and pricing.526Views0likes2Comments
