It amazes me to read people have so much trouble with cox, i've been with
them now over a year and i've never experienced any trouble with them at all.
It's been great and flawless. My speeds are fantastic and the service has
been great.

I also have digital telephones with cox and I did have a problem one time
making local calls around my neighborhood and called customer service and
told them I could not phone my dad because of this problem. They not only
called me back and told me what the problem was, they also called my dad and
told them the problem was fixed and was he experiencing any problems
contacting me, and my dad is with quest. Now that's customer service.

My 2 cents.
