Cox offers a free professional installation when you bundle internet and TV—definitely a step up from a self-install or paying the standard $100 professional installation fee (if a self-install doesn’t work out).
Most cable ISPs don’t offer great discounts on internet and TV bundles, and the same is true for Cox. Bundling Cox internet with TV may only save a few dollars per month, so the real value is in the free installation.

Cox now offers mobile phone services with some of the cheapest mobile plan prices available. Getting mobile service on top of Cox internet doesn’t provide a direct discount, but Cox Mobile prices are so low that you can still save a ton by switching.
To get Cox Mobile, you must have Cox internet service and enroll in paperless billing. You can carry over the same mobile phone number, but unfortunately, you can’t bring your own device. However, Cox states customers will be able to do so in the future.
Cox internet discounts—how can you lower your bill?
Use these tips to save on your Cox internet bill:
- Opt for a self-install to avoid a $100 pro install fee
- Bundle Cox internet with TV to get a free pro install ($100 value)
- Stay under your data cap to avoid data overage fees ($10/50 GB)
Pro tip:
Use our “How Much Internet Speed Do I Need?” tool to see what Wi-Fi bandwidth is best for what you do online. Sometimes you can save money by picking a slower plan—because oftentimes even a slower download speed is still fast.

What fees do you pay with Cox internet?
Cox has all the usual internet service fees. The most significant fee is a hefty $100 for installation. You can avoid this fee by opting for a free self-install when you sign up for service. Avoid Cox’s other fees by staying within your plan’s data cap and paying your internet bill on time.
Additionally, you can use your own modem and router (or internet gateway) to avoid paying a modem rental fee of $13 per month. Our helpful page on the pros and cons of buying your own modem and router can help you decide whether this is the right option for you.
