Their sub-par service is a tradition. Improvement is not possible.

Their product is unreliable and way over-priced.

Who are they bribing to remain in business?

In many areas Cox is the only cable available. Service can suck ass if you have no other choices. Besides, Cox was horrible and had many bad reviews on lots of sites. The way they solved that problem was to rename themselves XFinity - just like when Puff Daddy became P Diddy. P Diddy ain't never caught no case, Puff Daddy got arrested several times. See the difference?

No, Comcast became Xfinity. Cox is still Cox. Media General was the first cable company in Fairfax. Cox bought them out and service immediately went to shit. It's stayed there for decades.

Cox is a democrat-infiltrated shitcompany. What do you expect?

They need a business man like trump.then they be good.

COX is a conglomerate of bill gates types (which includes bill gates) who "invested"

we all know gates's mommy was a gov worker and all his contracts ended up being by government, and govenrment protected him from allot of damaging lawsuits, and the became his only customer base as well (noting congress at the time owned "many shares of ms stock")

in the 1980's 1990's government threw billions of money at tech - conservatives hated it and called for it to be stopped. democrats said "we have to let gates break rules or we'll stifle innovation" (meaning, they were all theives)


FAIRFAX COUNTY GOVERNMENT SIGNED A MONOPOLY CONTRACT "exclusive sales" with cox

FAIRFAX COUNTY GOVERNMENT WORKERS GOT KICK BACKS FOR SIGNING THE CONTRACT

THE MODEMS ALL THESE PROVIDERS USE IS A PRODUCT OF GOVERNMENT "DOCS-IS", ITS' CORE INTEGRATED FEATURE IS SPYING ON THE PUBLIC and preventing tech competition to those "buying the service"

the line laws changed to allow competition over the laid lines

the idea of a start-up is stupid - these people are too far ahead and have too much money - MOST OF IT BY THEFT AND BY GOV CONTRACT and*

by supremem court protecting golden parachutes and protecting bill gates

to "start up" you have to have more corrupt money than bill gates

which, i am sure, you don't

"start up isp" is stupid. "ma bell" was split up. you don't start up "ma bell" it starts you up.

millenials don't realize congress attacked "ma bell" and wrote tickets to put people like "bill gates" to TAKE OVER MA BELL

these people destroyed the reliable systems, continually took golden parachutes, and sold the telephone company to germany: who on wikipedia claims it owns Bell, AT&T, and Verizon

they attacked, bought out and destroyed usa telephone companies

THEY CALLED IT INNOVATION to the public. it was a political attack on USA.

millenials have no idea what was done in what congress called "IN THE NAME OF INNOVATION"

legitimate telephone (USA BUILT AND OWNED) were attacked, stupid pot smoking techies were given billions of dollars

laws were set aside for "big tech" allowing them to get away with any crime of any kind** (which made them all powerful and stifled innovation). small tech was absolutely stalked and prosecuted

successful lawsuits against microsoft would end in a $1 award - suits by microsoft againt innovators ended up with prison time for innovators

** no recalls for defective products, customers not allowed to return immediately defective products, lies on product labels, anti-competition: you name it, big tech was allowed to do it.

economists warned of "a tech bubble" and that the money (on software) wasn't well spent. democrats pushed full throttle on funnelling cash to big tech - the blamed Alan Greenspan who warned them not to when the tech crash came - on TV - despite dems were recorded literally objecting to greenspan warning them of a tech crash

.

it was the democrat party, under clinton, that called in the "protect big tech under the name of not stifling innovation"

democrats of course only protected "big tech", funneled money, and used it to attack and steal from everyone else

gates was fired from his first real job programming - which he was lucky to get his mom got him the job - by stealing from his employer

his employer sued - but gates inexplicably "won the case"

his mother sat on a democrat "government tech panel" that was "let's say too powerful" at the time

gates smoked weed in college. many were arrested for the same: not gates

the list goes on and on. certain people were cash infused with billions while others told to stay home and do nothing "with threats".

companies that had billions and a good service record for public service (ie, ma bell) were attacked by government

government software become privatized (HUGE THEFT) and owned by "big tech" who hadn't even paid for it

.

it was all about corruption and i'm still surprised "ma bell", at&t, verizon rolled over and let democrats tell them what their business was

(they were, at the time, the ones with both the money and true innovation. why they let congress give billions to pothead nobodies while congress attacked them to the point they had to give up business - i'm still wondering)

on the other hand, those companies were threatened by police - who have weapons - by supreme court ruling

it was a top down theft - a weaponed threat

ma bell used to hire people from your area - in the 80's you could find work even though you were not related to anyone in the company

microsoft hired relatives from washington state and "fuck the people form your area"

democrats are evil

they turned high tech into a 3rd world dictator machine that is "being converted to be chinese controlled under the hood"

.

the real innovators - ie in texas - who make the equipment (who the chinese have heavily stolen tech from) ?? ie who make long haul fiber optic network cards ...

the gates types don't want to pay for innovation

they'll sell their soul to china and sell their company to china. how these people became "leaders" under the false flag "we have to protect innovators"

that is where millenials are stupid. they just don't know that BILL GATES AND OTHERS aren't a legacy of American business and profit. they were no-bodies given billions for no reason at all.

THESE PEOPLE WERE ILLEGAL SHOVELED OTHER PEOPLES CASH BY GOVERNMENT AND CROOKED DEALS UNDER THE FALSE FLAG OF "INNOVATION"

THESE PEOPLE DID NOT MAKE IT BIG

THEY WERE GIVEN TONS OF MONEY THAT BETTER COMPETITORS WERE PREVENTED FROM GETTING

IT WAS AN OUTRAGE PEOPLE SAID "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" WHY ARE THESE LONERS GETTING BILLIONS WHILE THINK TANKS WITH THE REAL STUFF ARE BEING TOLD TO SHUT UP?

IE, MA BELL, INTEL, MOTOROLA, GE

MA BELL, C&P, motorola, intel was the model of business profit and satisfied customers not spied on

today's big tech is the MODEL OF DICTATORS, your modem is built to spy on you, your TV is built to feed you news of impeachment you don't want to hear, etc, etc

the same can happen with huwaiE

democrats only interest is HOW THEY CAN COVER UP THE FACT THEY GOT TRILLIONS OF OTHER'S MONEY AND SUDDENLY CLAIMED BANKRUPTCY AND THAT HUWAIE WAS NOT IN CONTROL

DEMOCRATS ARE TERRIBLE NEWS FOR USA

they will just build mansions and sell their busines out to the chinese

they didn't earn the business to begin with: cash was shoveled at them for absolutely no reason

MILLENIALS ARE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL THAT MICROSOFT IS AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY

THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE, it's a story of a guy who got billions who didn't deserve a job in tech. he didn't win in business he caused the biggest rape of taxpayer money getting bailed out

your telling me at&t zerox mit and defense dept engineers were told to "shut up and go home" - with all their degrees and might

and bill gates steve jobs and worse: zuckerberg - had billions shoveled at them and told "if you want to stifle competitors go ahead"

THE FACT IS THE STORY OF MONEY - MILLENIALS AREN'T TOLD THAT THESE SMALL FRIES WERE HANDED SUCCESS AND BIT THE HANDS THAT FED THEM

i mean bill gates writing software ? gates had to borrow money to get a computer and didn't have any to sell (his first OS was taken from someone else - from a big company attacked by gates later btw)

jobs and who sitting in a garage assembling a "board"? the board was part of a hobby kit

investories invested billions to steve jobs for a board he made from a kit in his garage? many pre-assembled kits were already sold at the time. electronics assembly as a big hobby at the time (radio shack)

the zuckerberg story - all lies - the movie was all lies

MILLENIALS AREN'T TOLD THAT THESE PEOPLE - they weren't really successes

MILLENIALS AREN'T TOLD THAT THESE PEOPLE NEVER REALLY BEAT OUT COMPETITION (ie, from other engineers) AND NEVER DID BUILD THE COMPANY PURELY ON PROFITS

it's just insane that these assholes

they were handed billions and used it to make corrupt emprires and prevent competition

are on TV educating kids that "government is the answer to everything" and stabbing your fellow student in the back to get in government is the key to "making it" (aka zombie staying alive)

because that's exactly the opposite of how gates jobs and others became "big tech"

these potheads were served with a golden platter "as the future" of business - and they prevented business for anyone but themselves and are teaching communism to people THEY WOULD NEVER HIRE - THEY WOULD ONLY HIRE THEIR RELATIVES or illegal aliens (for voting reason / kickbacks)

Limited competition.

No other cable TV competitor allowed.

Only Verizon FIOS.

I get home, look to make a call and I have NO SERVICE. (Verizon.)

So, I go online to find out if, by chance, there's a cell service interruption.
(Verizon Fios Wifi.)

With Cox, I was forever being thrown offline and findING it necessary to reboot the server and my box.

Attempts to use the PHONE to resolve the web connection issue, I'd get the Cox voice response unit. Never did that system understand my problem on the first attempt. HIRE PEOPLE...I DON'T CARE HIRE PAKISTANIS IN PAKISTAN or FILIPINOS in the PHILIPPINES!!! That VRU was probably the cause of alot of domestic violence.

Verizon has not gotten so bad, but I'm not dead yet.

Get satellite and cut yer cables

Satellite is only good for downloads. You still need to be able to upload at a much faster speed than is currently available to satellite customers.

Satellite requires a specific look angle to the satellite. Trees, buildings, mountains, etc. can all effect your ability to use satellite service.

Satellite sucks in heavy rain or snow storms.

Satellite plans still put data limits on downloads.

Satellite service is EXPENSIVE.

Cocks communication

(in the past my linux box had way better uptime than cox)

other than that, OP is wrong. cox's current uptime is good, and the product - they don't make any of it, they pass the cost of high price modems onto the customers

OP probably has no idea why his Konnection isn't solid

is that COX's fault?

Hey dipshit.

I saw a Cox truck and recalled the shit that was (and probably still is) Cox.

Eat a dick moron.

if their service "actually works pretty good" today ?

#1 they use imported electronics - thats not their business - that's to credit to someone else

#2 it took them 30 years of special political favors and bad service to become "not a total piece". it would have taken any reasonable team far less than 30 years to become reliable

democrats spent millions or billions OF TAXPAYER MONEY developing "scientific atlantic" DOC-IS (government made spy on the public destroy the real internet) MODEMS

china stole all the technology from usa japan england italy france

THE MODEMS SAY MADE IN CHINA

your ass spent endlessly and you ended up with a chinese cable tv service

japan "runs" most of the tv equipment democrats use

there's huge pressure by dems "not to quit"

THEIR CURRENT STRATEGY IS TO FORCE PEOPLE TO BUY IT, BY INSISTING IF YOU BUY A HOME THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE HOA "fees" - THE FEES INCLUDE HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS AND ASIAN CABLE TV SERVICE

IT ISN'T A MISTAKE. BUT IT IS LARSON

they know 2,000 of asswipes on TV is a failure, and that the TV people do want to see they won't run on TV because that requires money they'll never let go of

as a result, millenials would rather just "suffice with youtube, because TV is way not worth it"

ASIA'S RESPONSE? USE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO FORCE PEOPLE TO ORDER CABLE TV

who is going to pay $150/mo to hear about adam schiff every day ?

NO ONE WHO ACTUALLY EARNS THEIR MONEY and has an iphone

cable was supposed to be commercial free - it isn't

the poor were supposed to get free cable when TV on air waves was canceled: they don't - some don't even have toilets (ie, san francisco)

RADIO IS STILL FREE AS A BIRD

your excuses ?

Can I get service at a discounted rate if my wife sleeps with the installer?
