About Cox Communications
Cox Communications is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and is the third-largest cable TV and internet provider in North America, serving over 6 million customers in 18 states. Cox is a private company (not publicly traded), which allows it to invest more heavily in network infrastructure.

Fix It Yourself
Try these steps before calling. They resolve the majority of common Cox issues.
1
Restart Panoramic WiFi from the Cox app
Open the Cox app → Internet → Restart Equipment. This sends a proper restart command through Cox's system. Wait 3-5 minutes for full reconnection. If the app restart doesn't work, call Cox to send a remote provisioning signal to your modem.
2
Check Cox outage map before calling
Visit cox.com/residential/support/outages to check for service outages in your area. Cox updates outage maps in near real-time. If an outage is shown at your address, calling support won't speed up repair.
3
Upgrade to Cox's Gigablast plan for no data cap
Cox enforces a 1.25 TB monthly data cap on most plans with $10/50 GB overage charges. The Cox Gigablast plan ($79.99-$99.99/month, varies by market) includes unlimited data and is worth it for heavy streaming or work-from-home households.
shield Warranty & Coverage
Cox-provided modems and cable boxes are maintained by Cox at no charge during active service. Damaged or lost Cox equipment may incur replacement fees listed in your service agreement.
quiz Cox FAQ
Common questions answered by our research team.
add Does Cox have a data cap?
Yes — Cox enforces a 1.25 TB monthly data cap on most residential internet plans. Exceeding this cap costs $10 per 50 GB of additional data. Cox's 'Unlimited Data' add-on ($29.99-$49.99/month) removes the cap. The Gigablast plan includes unlimited data.
add What are Cox internet speeds?
Cox internet plans range from Starter (100 Mbps) to Gigablast (1 Gbps download). Cox's cable internet offers fast download speeds but asymmetric uploads (typically 10-35 Mbps). Cox is expanding fiber infrastructure in select markets for symmetric speeds.
add Is Cox available in my area?
Cox serves 18 states primarily in the Southeast, Southwest, and parts of the Northeast: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
add How do I reduce my Cox bill?
Call Cox retention at 1-800-234-3993 and ask about current promotions. Loyalty discounts and promotional pricing are available but typically require asking. Removing the cable TV package (keeping internet only) is often the largest savings opportunity.
add What is Cox Contour TV?
Cox Contour is Cox's cable TV service with an advanced DVR experience available through a set-top box or the Contour app on streaming devices. Contour offers voice search, personalized recommendations, 1,000-hour cloud DVR storage, and on-demand content.
