I used to work for @Home, which gave bandwidth and support to Cox (and many others). Most of the calls we got involving latency issues were from Cox and Charter markets. All of them serious line noise issues also affecting television. No idea if any of those got fixed, Cox and Charter also had this assenine policy that the only way @Home folks could get Cox or Charter to roll a truck was to email them with the customer's information and hope they actually called the customer like they were supposed to but never did. Cox's tier 1 guys were fscking morons, too, since line noise issues are something they weren't even supposed to send up to us tier 2 folk to begin with...bastards. Not uncommon to get five or six calls from the same customer with the same issue before Cox or Charter would pull their head out long enough to fix the problem. Strike 2 against Cox for me is they colluded with AT&T and Comcast against @Home to buy @Home's infrastructure for pennies on the dollar. The collapse of Enron distracted the FTC from the collusion case until after time ran out to prosecute for it, IIRC. So they put me and 8000+ of my closest coworkers out of work with illegal, unethical business practices and got away with it scott-free. I've never been a Cox customer and in the last 3 years, they've done quite a bit by proxy to screw me. I'm not thinking they were out to get me, but rather they're so inconsiderate or incompetent that they could not help themselves. Though Aaron's still cool. 8:o) - -- .''`.
