Severe weather alert
Updated: Aug 13, 2024
We’ve completed all major network repairs from the recent storms and are now addressing individual service issues. If you're not connected, you may need to manually reset your equipment. The easiest way to do that is via Cox Business MyAccount—it’s right on the home screen once you log in.
If you’re still not connected after resetting your equipment, contact us through the app or chat for further assistance.
While clean-up efforts continue, please avoid piling debris on or near utility pedestals. This can create additional damage and lengthen restoration times. Let us know of any line hazards on your property using the button below.

Helping you stay connected to what matters most
We know it’s frustrating when severe weather and power outages interrupt your Cox services. That’s why we’ll work hard to get you reconnected as quickly as possible.
When an outage occurs, our technicians are ready to assist as soon as it is safe for them to do so. You can also take steps to prepare for service interruptions and minimize their impact.
How customers can prepare for service outages
Follow these basic steps to ensure you’re protected in case of an outage.
What you can do when service is disrupted
Here are some simple things to remember:
If the power is off, you’ll have limited access to Cox services. You can download the Contour app on a mobile device to watch tv and get the latest news and weather.
If you have Cox Voice service, sign in to MyAccount and use Voice Tools to set Simultaneous Ring and receive your home phone calls on your cell phone or check voicemail.
When power returns, reboot your equipment. The easiest way to do that is via the Cox app—it’s right on the home page once you log in.

How Cox restores service after an outage
When it comes to restoring service quickly, the safety of our customers and employees comes first. Here’s how we get you back connected—safely.
Restoring your service
During a natural disaster, it can be difficult to determine how long it’ll take to restore services. We depend on commercial power, so our employees often follow the path of your local power company when restoring your service.
Factors that can affect restoration:
Don't cut cable initiative
We’ve partnered with providers across our industry to help teach more customers how to avoid unnecessary danger and outages with our “Don’t Cut Cable” initiative.
The most important thing to remember is: Do not attempt to remove lines from a utility pole. There are several types of lines on each utility pole and going into each home, so it’s best to leave line removal to the professionals.
If you see a line down on your property or at your home, just contact us at www.cox.com/chat and we will arrange a date/time for a technician to come and remove or repair it.
