Crappy Tv service & no help from technical support
On Monday evening, my cable started acting up, which it has done before but usually fixes itself. This time it did not. I tried everything they say to do. When I try to reset it through the app, it doesn't work. (and the fact that I have to login EVERYTIME to the cox app is really annoying!!) On Tuesday, I returned the box, which I have done SEVERAL times before. Hooked up the new box, same thing. Just shows a single letter or something on the box and does absolutely nothing. Contacted support, they couldn't send a signal because my box wasn't online or something. So, on Thursday, I again returned the box and got a new one, same thing again. Still technical support couldn't do anything, so had them send out a tech person on Friday. He came & couldn't figure out what was wrong. Said I needed some other type of box & he supposed to bring it today. Contacted support last night, to see if I could get some kind of credit because I haven't had service for 5 days, after chatting with someone for almost an hour, then for some reason transferring me to someone else, I'm told they only give credit when there's a power outage.
So, they know i don't have cable, it's something with their equipment & they have no clue what is wrong, yet they can't give me a credit for 5 days??? The fact that every time I have had to return a box (which has been a lot) that they don't even ask what is wrong with it, says a lot to me. I think they know their equipment sucks & just don't care. I am so close to getting rid of them all together for cable. We have nothing but problems with them. My bill keeps going higher & the service gets worse. If I had another option for my internet service, I would change that too. I am in Louisiana and have limited options for cable/internet. I've been with them for over 22 years, and they still can't help me.

I’m having the same problem in CA. If I trick the update and don’t let it update the box works fine. If I let it update it sticks on the B in boot. I have to unplug and plug about five times to get it going. Have they fixed yours? I’m ready to leave them too after forty years. I might swap out the box tomorrow, and the modem after that.
Good luck.
