That happened to Jim many a time with Cox, funny, when he came here from the nursing home and was on dsl, never happened!! Hum, and everyone says cox is solid??? Oh, well, give me the 'slower' dsl, I will live with that over the flaky techs and etc at cox. No pun intended, you just installed, not t/s'd the customers connection if I remember right. He had one tech and I was there, go pale and mumble something and burn rubber leaving when he crashed Jim's system!! a few hours later, Knoppix logged in and ran, but we had to reinstall windows, even knoppix didn't recover the hd from whatever that stupid did. At lesat, no charges ever showed up for a 'tech destruction call', hihihi. Wonder what lie that tech told his supervisor about his 'hole' of 2 hrs that day performance wise...or did he get canned...nah, never. Cox caught someone blatenly disconnecting Jim's cable and running a cable over to another property next door. SEVERAL times. Then they quit coming over at all on service calls!! Now that is 'service'??? One month later, surgery and never ever saw his 'home' again. Qworst has been solid except once..they acknowledged the substation was down..it came back in about 4 hrs tho. And some idiot in billing switched me back to 256k once..raised billy hell about that one and got credit. Also a firmware update...since I don't use their email..basically my fault for not reading it was pending...so cannot blame them on that 'flakey-ness' that occured.
