Long-Time Loyal Customer Asking for Help With Sudden Rate Increase

Hi there,

I’m hoping someone from Cox leadership can help because I’m extremely frustrated.

My internet bill was suddenly increased, and I’ve spent over 2 hours on chat today trying to get it corrected. I’ve been a loyal customer who pays on time, and I’m only asking to have my bill returned to the rate I was paying before — it’s a difference of just $28, but every rep I’ve spoken to refuses to help or offer any workable solution.

I’m not looking for special treatment, just fairness and consistency for a long-time customer. I’ve been with Cox because I value reliability and good service, but this experience has been incredibly disappointing.

Can someone please review my account and help restore my previous rate or provide a reasonable adjustment? I would really appreciate someone looking into this instead of sending me in circles with support.

Thank you.

I'm coming in to this a bit late, but reading your billing statement will tell you why your bill went up.  Those notes are helpful in situations like this and probably why you weren't able to go back to your former rate.

For me, I was also surprised about the rate hike until I read the notes on this months' bill, and it said that "effective November 6, 2025"  they are making some changes to their service rates.  Well, my billing statement was ready November 5, 2025, so I had no timely notice of the increased rate.  While I would have preferred my bill going up in January instead of December, it is what it is.  I can either complain, remove services, cancel my tv plan, or accept the increase.  I called billing and told them I was okay with the increase [for now], but it wasn't fair that the increase notice came after my November billing statement; I always thought the customer was supposed to receive a notice of changes a month in advance, which wasn't in my case.

Bottom line, read your billing statement beyond how much you owe.  And if you are paperless like I am, after you get your statement, read it!  If there are mistakes you only have so long to dispute them.  😉

I didn't look at November statement but my December one which I just received stated increases and the bill specified changes.   So I decided to go to basic tv to save $ (limited income).  When I put thechane request in to pay, what should have been a $60+ reduction resulted in an expected increase of $4.  That's as  result stated of a discount falling off of $15 which I don't have.

The thing is, Cox has been difficult in providing uncomplicated, unexagerated, simple, info on its plans.  Calling doesn't really help. By the time you're done, you have no idea to what it was you agreed.   What we are paying for today costs vastly more than what we were getting, is vastly more than we need (garbage data), and unnecessary and harmful.   Fiber is in town so ...

It helps if you (@) tag the person you are replying to.

I have no problem with the price going up because I knew it would be.  The problem came in when the notice showed up in my December bill stating the price changed November 6th when my bill was printed November 5th.  I did call in and lodged a complaint about that, but I still don't have a problem paying the increase.  That problem is, I wasn't notified in a timely manner before the increase as that notice did not show up in my November billing statement.  Therefore, my increase should have started with my January payment, not Decembers payment.  See?  😉

I understand your position, and I apologize if you're not notified ahead of time. Notification of bill increases come out 30 days in advance. When it comes to rate changes, these notifications show on the monthly statement, both the month before and the month of the change. Our teams are available 24/7 if needed. Thank you for your time and have a great evening!
