Cox is a joke, and hopefully the FCC will step in and do the same thing they did to Comcast when they tried this crap…

I'm seriously considering canceling my service with these Cox over this type of activity. Sadly the only other alternative i have in my area is Verizon Fios. Does anyone know of any reports of Verizon attempting this type of bullshit?

Seriously, can't you sue them for that? You pay their wages goddamnit!

Customer pays –> company provides service

.. oh wait that's not how it works is it?

Customer pays –> company tries to do as little as possible right down to not providing the service at all. And then shuts down random customers.

They are called PROVIDERS, this is fucking outragious!

I don't think people will join you, mainly because it is an inconvience for them and they don't want to get involved with legal issues.

If I do receive confirmation that this bs happens in vegas Cox, then they can be sure that I will be siwtching to another ISP, and taking as many people as I can with me.

They have not stated that they would make any exception for business service connections. Of course, we will have to see, but it does not seem so.

So if you violate your ISP's contract four times and get your internet disconnected upon that result, will you still able to sign up for another ISP that is within your area?

I'm not totally sure about that so that is why I am asking.

So what happens when websites like Netflix and Hulu start offering HD streaming? In the case of Netflix, I'm paying for that and I'm paying Cox for the connection. I'll be madder than a hornet if I run into frequent interruptions in HD playback because Cox is throttling my connection due to "network congestion."
