Cancellation Caused Unexpected Service Loss and Took Hours to Resolve
My experience with Cox was extremely frustrating and far more complicated than it should have been. When I canceled my internet service, my mobile service was also canceled in error without any notice. This left me without service and forced me to spend hours working between Cox and another carrier just to restore access and transfer my number. During the process, I also experienced incorrect account information and delays that made porting my number more difficult than necessary. The biggest issue was how difficult it was to actually complete a cancellation. Despite clearly and repeatedly requesting that all services be canceled, I was met with delays and repeated retention offers instead of action. It took over four hours and multiple interactions to get confirmation that my account would finally be closed. At a minimum, Cox needs to clearly explain how bundled services are affected when canceling, ensure services are not canceled or changed without notice, respect direct cancellation requests without repeated sales pressure, and provide accurate account and porting information the first time. Losing service unexpectedly and then struggling to cancel properly is not an acceptable customer experience.
