DD-WRT and Cox-- any warnings?

[Technomage Hawke]

heh.
one of them made the mistake of arguing with me on the phone. I made
it a point to show up AT THE CALL CENTER the next day and asked to
speak with bot the employee and their direct supervisor. After I
played back the conversation (ain't technology wonderful), the
supervisor apologized profusely and from what I heard, there was one
more opening at the phoenix call center by 5 pm that day.

Paying customers on the phoen are easy to deal with at arms length.
HOWEVER, when they show up to talk with you personally, it ceases
being an "arm's length" kind of situation.
