Let me preface what I'm about to say with a disclaimer: I think Cox Communications (as a company) sucks. That said, I've had no other option for the past 8years in my house...and as long as I don't have to call them or rely on them for anything other than bandwidth (no DNS, no mail etc.) then my service has been rock solid. For the past few years I've even opted for their "premium" service (was 9MBit/1MBit) and I nearly always got what was advertised. You may want to dig up my earlier post on the tricks required to maintain this...but in my area (McClintock/Southern) everything has simply worked well for about the past 3 years or so. I've heard/seen/experienced all sorts of issues with US West/Qwest/Whatever...Nearly everyone in my family and circle of friends has had nothing but problems with them both from a reliability standpoint as well as their behavior as a company. $0.02 --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
