Calling Cox Communications Customer Care at 800-234-3993

I just relocated to the Waltham area right outside of Boston, so one of the things on my to-do list was to find an internet service provider. While I don't know everyone in the area, I know that I saw at least four different billboards for Cox Communications on my way in on I-90 so they seemed like a good place to start. Since I tend to move a lot, I prefer to call companies and talk about what they can offer and make sure that I can get good terms without a contract. Things like a 2-year contract are just not practical for me. 

From their website, I could see that Cox Communications handles a variety of services, so I was pretty sure the probably have a busy service line. Between people signing up, service calls, and billing issues, there are probably a healthy amount of people on the line with customer service agents at any given time. Surprisingly though, the wait time wasn't bad at all which is one more reason why I might consider this company. I like the idea of getting strong customer support that doesn't require me to wait on hold. 

When I first called, an automated voice said, "Welcome to Cox. Your call may be monitored or recorded to ensure quality service. Cox Mobile is officially here. We’re different because you are different. If you have a recent or active account with Cox, press 1. Otherwise, press 2." Since I don't have an account, I pressed 2. This time the menu directory was, "If you are calling to purchase or discuss services offered by Cox, press 1. Otherwise, press 2." I wanted to talk about their services, so I pressed one and then the automated assistant said, "Please enter the 5-digit zip code of the address you are interested in purchasing new services for."

After entering my zip code, there was a brief pause and this was the one time I was slightly confused. For a second I thought that maybe it had hung up on me or that my zipcode was not within the service area. However, after about 15 seconds a customer service agent picked up the line. That was very impressive,  didn't have to wait on hold at all and the agent was very polite. He greeted me by saying, "Thank you for calling Cox, we now offer mobile. My name is Tyler, how can I help you today?" and then continued to answer all of my questions. He was easy to understand and we even shared a few weather jokes. I would call back without a second thought if I needed help with my new service.
