Cox Communications bills all customers in advance for monthly standard service charges and in arrears for usage-based charges such as On Demand/pay-per-view and long distance. Credits or charges for any service changes made during the month will be reflected in the next bill.

If full payment is not received by this date your bill will become past due and may be subject to additional fees such as late payment charges, electronic reactivation fees, or returned check fees.
