I have been with Cox for over 30 years, but to keep my bill down, I had to go to AT&T 5 years ago. As soon as I switched, I got offers from Cox for the lower price ($160 instead of the $210 I was paying), after begging them to cut me some slack. So, in essence, Cox treats those brand new to the company much, much better than loyal customers. After a year with AT&T, I switched back to Cox, paying about $160 through a 2-year contract. As soon as that contract expired, I was paying $222. And now as year 4 begins, it was going up to $263! I was able to talk them “down” to $244, but I will be leaving Cox shortly. And, of course, there are no rebates for frozen screens requiring reboots several times a month, lips not syncing with sound for four days, and a slow internet even though I have the top speed internet hook-up. So: worse service for $84 more. Great business model.
