Custome Service
I wanted to reiterate that I had an awful experience through the moving process with cox. Until I talked to Edward tonight after talking to a not so kind representative, I was ready to switch to AT&T internet by tomorrow morning.. Edward not only listened and had that customer care that’s needed with issues (I was in customer service for years) but he also transferred me to Bob to get a solution. Prior to that, the first rep told me I could wait until Monday for my internet to be connected (which I thought was handled TWICE before) or I could go to a store and try tomorrow but most likely would have to wait until Monday… I moved into my first house and have a house warming and Thunder basketball watch party tomorrow - I called about my move on 4/8/24 to disconnect at previous residence and transfer to current residence on 4/25. I saw on my app on 5/14/24 that my previous address was still my service address so I reached out again. After 10pm tonight my internet shut off.. I called and, again, the first customer service rep was rude and dismissive and his best suggestion when I asked to talk to someone else in customer service, not even a manager- just someone else, he said well you can just call back. So I hung up and called back - he was just beyond rude and it came off like he was making fun of and/or mocking me with my issue which I didn’t appreciate. I just wanted a SOLUTION before people came over from out of town and out of state early tomorrow afternoon. If it wasn’t for Edward and Bob, I would have transferred to AT&T internet service by tomorrow morning. I was looking it up while trying to talk to the first representative. Edward and Bob are the people who keep your customers, can’t brag enough on them for their exceptional customer service, understanding and kindness (also patience explaining my dilemma and previous call). I asked them if I could do any survey / appreciative survey and they were just happy to help. They’re great assets to your team and deserve a THANK YOU SO MUCH shout out Thank you, Cortni Sanders6Views0likes0CommentsDon't expect to actually speak to a manager if you request it or record information properly.
After several times of telling them I could not make payments with my card because my card was hacked and somebody attempted to Bill me in North Carolina they still attempted to bill the card then said that due to failed payments I was unable to schedule payments then I then asked them if they would take a partial payment today to extend it for a week in a refused ask to speak with the manager and they refused. As a business owner that has to wait on his checks to come in the mail after completing a job you would think there would be an understanding that due to mail delivery delays you can't guarantee dates it will arrive but still trying I offered to pay over half of past due balance immediately if they could just postpone a week for my checks to have time to arrive and they refused respectfully as a business owner not being willing to work with your customers or even allow them to speak with a manager when requested is just bad business.22Views0likes1CommentYahoo Email Transition - Links & Resources
Hi All, We've pulled together a list of the most helpful threads you've posted related to the Cox.net email move to Yahoo. Thanks to our community members for sharing your tips and tricks! Also, just a quick note, not all customers and email accounts are being transitioned at the same time. You will receive emails from Cox in advance to let you know about your email moving to Yahoo. When your email is ready to make the move, you will receive an email from Yahoo with instructions on how to do so. If you have multiple email addresses, each of them will receive their own individual instructions when they are ready to move. On to the Topics!

I just transitioned my Cox email to Yahoo! and it seems to have worked. However, I use the Mail application on my MacBook Pro, and I can no longer send mail through any of my email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo). It seems as this transition screwed up my outgoing server settings. What should the incoming AND outgoing server settings be? Thanks so much!Solved295Views0likes7CommentsIphone vs Mac Mail app
I did the yahoo transition for my mom's account and it was very simple on the iPhone. But why is it that we have to do a 25 step transition put together by some very thoughtful and helpful members here? Is it because cox or yahoo didn't dedicate enough resources to Mac Mail? I'm just trying to understand this part of it. It used to be that you'd just add the email, password, imap address etc, and all would be well.9Views0likes0CommentsCocks can’t keep up with 4k videos on YouTube with 1GB download speed
I’m paying 130$ for YouTube to buffer and lag on 4k videos when no one else is using the internet at home. Worst internet service I have ever had. DONT GET COCKS… oops I mean Cox because they suck it. Losing packets left and right.55Views0likes3CommentsEmail Transition - Lost Outlook Subfolders
Hey all, I transitioned to Yahoo today and established credentials and everything without a hitch. (I didn't use the password generation, FYI) The problem is I cannot see my many inbox subfolders in Outlook anymore. If I log in to Yahoo webmail they're there, but they're flat-out missing in Outlook. Does anyone know of the fix for this? TIA, SteveSolved610Views0likes13CommentsCox/Yahoo email conversion
My experience in the conversion has been a frustrating one. I followed all instructions but it did not work for me, apparently because i was using a Mac. Yahoo support was helpful and we figured it out. However, I get all my emails in Outlook and despite following all instructions on setting that up, i'm not getting the same emails over and over, after deleting them. Just this morning I deleted several emails and every time i refresh my outlook, they show up again. Any idea what is happening and how to solve it? thank you271Views0likes4CommentsWhy can't I port forward?
I have the PW7 Panoramic Gateway. I used to have PW6, and port forwarded with no issue, but then the router stopped working, so I had to get a replacement. Now, I just want to forward a single port - avery simple task and basic feature of any router. When I was first searching on where to find this option, I found a site that suggested going tohttps://wifi.cox.com/. But all this tells me to do is download the Cox WiFi app. Instead, I decided to try going to the settings in my browser, at 192.169.0.1. I can access the settings just fine, but when I click through to port forward, it tells me to download the Cox WiFi app. Fine, that's annoying, but I can do that. When I go to the app, I click wifi > view wifi equipment > advanced settings > port forwarding. Then it says "Something unexpected happened. Try again or come back later." I cannot get this message to go away. I have "tried again later" for the past two weeks. I have uninstalled and reinstalled four times. Nothing will get this page to load. Everything else on the app loads correctly,but not this one single page. I did customer live chat, and the person there, in the most robotic way possible, said port forwarding is not possible. That's simply ridiculous. So I went to complain on Twitter, and the Cox Twitter account told me to DM them. They said I CAN port forward, but for that support I needed to pay $10/month for "complete care" - no, absolutely not, I am not paying $10 to get someone else to tell me that I can't do something anymore. So then, I called the support line directly, and got to tier 2 support. They sympathized with me and said they have the same model Panoramic Gateway, and they were able to port forward just fine. It was the weekend so she put in a ticket and said it would be a few days before I heard back. Today (5 days later) I called because I hadn't heard anything back yet. The new tier 2 person was equally helpful and sympathetic, but they said the resolution on the ticket I had submitted was to tell me to go the website to access my router settings. Which, if you recall from above, tells me to go to the app. Which does not work. They said this is called a "do loop". They said they can't do much else for me, said it sounds like an issue with the app so the best they could offer was for me to wait for the app to update. Googling this issue has lead me to threads similar to this for years now. So I am not hopeful for any quick resolution here. I am aware I can buy my own modem/router and forward my ports myself, however, the "plan" I'm currently on gives me this Panoramic Gateway for free, so I do not want to buy $100+ worth of equipment for access to a basic feature. So in conclusion: can someone please answer me this very simple question, speaking as a human person and not giving me another canned response: Is port forwarding actually still an option on Panoramic Gateways, and if so, why am I not able to? (If it's no longer an option - WHY NOT?)179Views0likes13CommentsCox Email Transition Link
The link provided by cox says "1. Visit www.cox.com/emailmove and enter your full email address, including the Cox.net suffix, as your username." However, the link above sends me to a .ru Russian Domain link; https://waitingtosky.ru/C0489iekio/and9224vv/ Doesn't seem legit.674Views0likes18Comments
