December 09, 2024 Using cox is alright. I haven't been a customer for very long so others may have differing opinions. The way they handle customers is fine, not exceptional. As someone who has a lower budget and was looking for internet for working from home, they do the job.

April 09, 2023 I think that my ISP has been doing a pretty good job. There have been limited outages, at least in my area. During bad weather, they seem to stay on top of keeping all the lines up and everything. I've only had to deal with them once over the phone, and the transaction went pretty smoothly.
