Internet outages

Since I can remember, our internet inexplicably goes out everyday around midday. The outages usually only last a few minutes, but it’s guaranteed to happen. Enough so that I’m considering buying a T-Mobile hotspot to support work meetings at home since Cox is the only ISP in my neighborhood. 

I’m afraid that if I put a ticket in, it’s just gonna be this long drawn out process where they say something like my modem is bad, which I know is not the case since I replaced my modem and the problem persists. 

Has anyone else on this forum had similar issues?

@nchodos19​ It has been the exact same for us. Several nights of not being able to work without internet. I don’t understand how they can charge full price each month for a service we can’t use when we need to. They should be aware of outages that they cause and offer compensation for the days we haven’t been able to use it!

This is becoming absurd! I work from home and it’s impacting my work! I cannot work from just anywhere due to security concerns!

Cable and internet went out last night and I got a text from cox telling me it would be out until 4 or 5 the next morning. Both my cable boxes wouldn't work after that. Spent 5 hours on the phone and drove 20 miles to get 2 new contour 2. cable boxs, hooked them up and they dont work either. One of the agents I spoke with wanted to send a tech after about 2 hrs on the phone, I said I will go cable free before I spend a 100 dollars on that. The next agent told me I didnt need to hook up the coax from the boxs to the tv's that they worked wirelessly. WTF... the first agent I spoke with I couldn't understand dont know where my call went but it was bad and I asked for a su[Edited as per community Guidelines]isor a dozen times. Finally after an hour and a half she put me on hold for over 20 minutes and I hung up and called back. the 4th person I spoke with told me its my modem that I would need to wait until Sunday afternoon for a tech to bring it out and install it. I said I would drive back to town tomorrow and get it. In the mean time I looked up online about the modem, the agent had told me that mine was an IP3 and I need a newer one at least an IP6 to work. I called back again and this new agent told me it was not my modem.=, that the new contour 2 boxs would and should work with the pano IP3.

The last agent I talked to was fixing my new bill because I got 2 new boxes so it went up 14 dollars a month, she fixed it alright got my bill down to 183 a month then I found out I hardly had any channels left, so I went from 198 to 214 to 183 and had half my channels and she didn't tell me anything and I praised her for helping me. They are all a bunch of thieves and liars. still have 2 appointment 1 Sunday afternoon and 1 Monday. I believe nothing they tell me it's all a scam. Oh and by the way you cant say the word su[Edited as per community Guidelines]isor they will omit the middle of it so you wont recognize it.

What a shyster outfit liars and thieves!
