As the owner of a business I have never dealt with a corporate company more unprofessional than cox business. Everything sounded great when signing up for my new business phone service but during the process there was no communication at all what so ever. I called and emailed my sales personal several times for updates DAYS after signing up then the ball started rolling as if my order was placed as soon as I asked for an update. I called and spoke with sales and customer service multiple times to find out what was going on with no help and was told it was going to take a month They kept directing me to **** with no reply with several phones calls even though he was replying to messages from people I was talking to in sales and customer service. I even reached out to his supervisor several times with no reply either with messages left and no return phone calls back. Ive talked to a boat load of people with no help, no update, and ultimately cancelled my order due to a lack of professionalism which took an act of congress to do and had to talk to 5 different people. I will be cancelling my personal service with *** as well. Very disappointedCox Business Response

I also just got an email stating that they have made several attempts to reach me but have been unable to speak with me. Someone from *** executive escalations team did contact me on Wednesday December 11th at 12:23 central time and all he wanted from me was my phone number, address and to be able to get into my account with my PIN code. Nothing was asked or talked about the complain that was made.Review from Michael D

One star is way to many stars. Less then a month in and all the very nice people at Cox Business are also incompetent. Service is terrible, getting less while paying more than everyone else. Two weeks in wanted out of contract but it's a $2400 termination fee. Frontier just wired our building so I'll be letting the 20+ other businesses in our building know that Frontier is faster, for less money, no equipment rental fee, and free install.Cox Business Response

We signed a Cox Business Service agreement back in 2013. After closing our business, *** requires us to pay a cancellation fee plus ten months ($2500+). Do not sign a service agreement with ***. It is a shameful, greedy practice.Cox Business Response

Their strategy for keeping customers is to automatically sign them up for auto renewal and lock them into extending their service longer than desired. Do not fall their tactics. The service is not worth it and you'll pay for the mistake in the long run. I'm counting down my days with them and will never use another *** service again, not refer anyone to them.Cox Business Response

We would like to thank the BBB for the opportunity to assist a valuable customer. Please let me begin with an apology for any inconvenience our customer may have experienced. It is certainly not our intention to cause any frustration. Although the contract we have on file for the customer has a signed acknowledgment that our services would renew for 12-months unless we are notified to cancel 30-days before the fulfillment of the contract, we would be happy to work with the customer on any sort of restructure or modifications to their services and rates. Our sales and retention department would be happy to help and can be reached at ************. It is always our goal to provide our customers with exemplary customer service.

You will be locked into a contract and unable to cancel it at anytime unless you want to pay for all of the monthly payments left on your contract. Pretty ridiculous, and their internet is expensive an we have had nothing but issues in our space. I switched to another provider and am getting way better speed test readings across the board for half the price, they still will not let me leave the contract. It is monopolistic capitalism at its finest.Cox Business Response

I have never been so frustrated with customer service. I disconnected my account in May. I was told at the time that everything was taken care of, no balance etc. In June I received an email saying I owed $85.00. I called *** and after spending 3 hours on the phone, an agent said it was a mistake and that I did not in fact owe anything. Skip to September...and all of a sudden I have a piece of mail from a collections agency saying that I owed this money. I called *** again, and spent many hours being tossed back and forth just to end up with an agent saying that I was correct, I didn't owe anything, and it was their mistake (I have screenshots of all of these conversations).Then I get ANOTHER collections letter. After calling *** AGAIN and spending multiple hours on the phone, they say there is nothing to be done and that I can't even dispute it. By this point, I've literally spent over 13 hours dealing with this one dumb charge, so I caved and just paid it. But I am so frustrated being tossed back and forth (you need to talk to sales, you need to talk to billing, you need to talk to collections, no wait this is a billing thing, no wait this is a collections thing). Over and over and over. Every person I talked to was nice enough, but this was an AWFUL experience. And I'm extremely frustrated at paying an amount that I didn't owe in the first place.Review from Enea A

Horrible service and many technical issues please spare yourself the headache and choose someone else i gave them the benefit of the doubt but never again.Review from pascal w

3 years ago *** took our email addresses with them as hostage to force sign a 3 year contract for very expensive and not so performant internet service. A few months ago I called in order to remove the phone line from my service. Agent suggested a net assurance program (switch to cell tower if cable fails) and ensure that there was no long term contract. Today I called *** to terminate the service. They had continued to charge me for the phone line $26 per month plus fees. They request a 30 notice so I have to pay for october. They claim that there is a autorenewal annual contract which would force me to pay $209 per month until July 23. Where in my previous phone call the agent confirmed that there is no long term contract. These long term contract terms are meant to extort money from customers.Review from Philip Z

I visited my Mom based in ********* and helped her to review the monthly expenses. One of them is the internet, cable and phone which were not bundled yet. Since the cable was already in *** - we went to the *** shop and asked for a triple bundle so we can take advantage of less monthly payment. So the appointment was scheduled for installation of voice and internet. The *** technician came and he finished the installation in LESS THAN ONE HOUR. Then the billing statement came. My Mom got charged for $200. $100 for internet and another $100 for voice. We disputed this to customer service and we were told that this practice is normal and the installation cost is expected. Imagine if you were from different cable company and took advantage of the triple bundle - then you will pay $300 for internet, voice and cable. *** already secured a customer and yet it still charge the consumers very high.
