<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Cox support is by far the worst part of
using their service. I have an outage about every 3-4 years due
to the sun baking my coax outside, which is somewhat normal, and
every time I call it has gotten worse and worse. Usually I just
mention something about ICOMS, mocking their horrible/garbage 40
year old green-screen internal crm everyone hates using still, and
they get more friendly/helpful.<br>
<br>
Last time I called a few months ago about getting a second IP, it
took four calls, the first talking to the person there I didn't
think could spell IP, and had about the worst drawl you could
imagine from Deliverance, neither providing help or coherency.
After 3 more calls of less utterly stupid, more helpful, but still
mostly useless, I got a real engineer that clearly told me "no,
you can't get a second IP unless you buy business or our
'ultimate' package". He was the only person that understood what
a "second static ip" was and I had to go about 3 levels up.<br>
<br>
I called a buddy that works there, they shifted all support to the
southeast (their corp is in Atlanta), where apparently the average
iq drops to a quarter of anywhere else. I complained on the site
I was so angry, and actually got a call from corporate where the
guy was very nice, but all but admitted they hire the dregs for
support. Where else do you find people to work for minimum wage?<br>
<br>
Sad considering I remember using, and even went to work for @home
that did the cable side for Cox back in '98 when they actually
hired technically competent people to support a technical
service. Even they got worse at the end hiring anyone with a
pulse before Cox, ATT, and Comcast put forks in them to DIY.<br>
