Any official word on the matter? Fortunately, Cox’s customer care on Twitter has responded to several reports surrounding the issue by claiming that they are aware of it and are working on a fix.

Apparently, the outage is due to a pole that caught fire in the Phoenix area according to the company’s support.

I’m sorry to hear your service is impacted. It appears you are in the Phoenix area. We’re aware of trouble & waiting for SRP to fix a fire damaged pole impacting multiple providers. Once we’re cleared to work we’ll do everything we can to restore service asap (Source)
