moin moin,
Cox blocks incoming port 80 requests, what is your plan to get around this
for your web site you plan on hosting?
Cox residential blocks ports. I have gotten around it for years by not
using Cox residential :).
Most of the time I've used Cox business, which will allow all ports. You
might have to request 80 and 25 get unblocked.
I have also used Century Link residential, which will also allow all
ports. You will have to specifically request unblocking for port 25.
Both will let you know if they're getting complaints about your web or
SMTP services.
Both give you a static IP and the option to rent out a block. You'll have
to contact them to request RR records.
In my experience, Cox doesn't understand the concept of a static IP. I
have had 3 yanked out from me with at most a couple days notice. One was
zero notice because they didn't notice my IP was in use. That was years
ago, but I was obviously massively underimpressed with Cox customer
service.
ciao,

I am going to have to setup a DMZ on my personal router pointed to a

I will need to register) and a few other goodies. nice thing about my
router, I can assign separate subnet segments to each port. this way, if
anyone gets control of the web server, about all they can see is that
subnet (and the administrative interface for the router will definitely be
locked out on that port, so no control there either).

well,------------------------------
it took a little thinking to come up with the figure they quote for
monthly usage.
Consider that a typical 1080p Hi-def video stream is about 750 Kb/sec.
if left going 24/7 for 30 days, that would be 2.7 GB per hour or about 64
Gb per day. over the course of a month, that is: 1.944 Tb. now, so far as I
know, no one leaves their TV on live stream 24/7 for 30 days.
so, given normal usage patterns (tv watching of about 20 hours per
week), plus web browsing and email, etc, 1 TB would be max typical for a
standard residential circuit.
now, I do have a room mate who falls asleep with the tv streaming some
content or another, so it's quite possible that we are over 1 TB for the
last 30 days. Since I am on biz class here, I don't have to worry about
that 1 TB cap. :)

Wow... so they are literally selling you a connection that you can
exceed your monthly allowance in a little over 15 minutes of use if you
could find a service that would saturate your connection.
LAME!

out when I call. :) Would be nice if it was 2t, that would mean I could

the $30 I pay for the extra 500gb cushion each month, and basically pay

They have capped new gigablast subscribers with the 1tb limit
If you had it prior to late Sept, then you continue to get the

I am very pleased with this service.

let me dig up the sales number for cox business.
I couldn't find the phone number directly, but there is this site
here:
https://www.cox.com/business/contact-us/contact-sales.html
I just called them through their residential number. they gave me
this
number for direct contact: 800-529-5118 <(800)%20529-5118>
hope this helps.
btw, I am on cox business premier service. it's 50 mbits/11 mbits
for only
$79 monthly. I also use chrome cast here from youtube tv for about
$35 a
month. so, I am definitely spending over $140 less than I would be
for
residential service (including tv).
hope this helps.

from the
hard cap that you got charged for this last time out. they might

access to the fiber that you want.
now, sure, most of the tier 1 droids at residential customer
service are
good people. However, anyone who has ever worked a CSr desk knows
that
they
all have to run from a script.
anyway, if you call Jame Hidalgo at cox business, please tell him

Friends in Auhtukee and Glendale have it, and are quite happy with

Anyone using this service? It looks like it finally arrived in our
neighborhood. I'd prefer to try Google Fiber, but that seems to be
dead in the valley since their competitors complained about the
deals
they were able to make with the cities. So tempted to upgrade to
this.
