Did a Cox Internet Outage Cost You Money? DoNotPay Can Help

When our internet or power goes down, it feels like we lose touch with the world. But when we have a Cox internet outage at work or while working from home, it can mean lost revenue and wages. That's a lot worse than missing your favorite streaming TV show and almost as bad as the cable going out when you have half the block over for the big Arizona State University ball game.

You've probably wondered whether you can get a rebate, credit, or even cash compensation if an internet outage lasts long enough to wreak havoc. After all, you pay a premium for your high-speed internet.

You can get compensation for a Cox internet outage if you take the easy route and let DoNotPay file your claim for you.

How to File a Claim for Interrupted Internet Service by Yourself

Any time you're up against a big communications company due to a Cox internet outage, you have an uphill battle. If you're going to advocate on your own behalf with Cox Communications' claims department, you need to build a solid case to win. Here's how to get it done:

Phase One: Document Everything

1. As soon as the internet goes down, make sure you note the date and time.
2. Cox Communications Inc. doesn't have an outage map. However, you can navigate to their support page and follow their troubleshooting guide to ensure the outage isn't isolated to your location and equipment.
3. If you speak with a customer representative, note the time and their name.
4. If the outage is a neighborhood or widespread issue, find out the cause.
5. Make sure you have your service address and account number handy.

If the outage affected your work-at-home schedule:

• List what work-related activities you could not perform due to the outage.
• Gather copies of documentation that gives proof of your hourly rate if you're self-employed, and pay stubs if you're employed on salary or by the hour.
• Acquire copies of correspondence with your boss or clients explaining the cancellations.

If the outage forced you to close your business for the duration:

Many businesses lose revenue if their computers can't work offline or they have to cancel important remote meetings or collaborative sessions. If you have the correct documentation, you can justify the financial losses incurred during the Cox internet outage.

• Any documents or memos confirming the day's schedule (for canceled meetings)
• Description of essential equipment that relies upon an internet connection to work
• Tax records and/or bank statements
• Payroll records
• Revenue and expenses statements
• Sales receipts

If the outage ruined your plans to binge shows all day, you're still entitled to compensation for the hours you went without service.

Phase Two: Prepare Your Claim

Organize your documents and write a cover letter explaining your reasons for pursuing compensation. Be firm, clear, concise, and professional.

Phase Three: Find the Right Contacts

It's always best to send your claim to a specific person—and the right person. To start, choose how you'd like to contact Cox Communications customer support. We'll tell you what our experiences have been going through the consumer channels.

Since Cox Communications headquarters telephone number is not on the website, you can call information to get the main reception desk.

Phase Four: Send In Your Claim

If you don't find the right contact person, not all is lost. Just send in your claim with delivery confirmation to the above address, and add "Customer Claims" under the main addressee.

Utility companies typically require four to six weeks to process compensation claims.
