Down in New Orleans COX's head honcho Ray Nagin is runing for mayor. I suppose that after mistreating COX's customers, he finds himself qualifyed to preside over New Orlean's highest criminal office.
Working on someone elses computer, I tryed contacting COX's technical support, and got temper support instead. The person just read from scripts, and spoke down to me. Now I am no genius, but such behavior is anoying. I second time I called (after the SCRIPT BS did not work) I got the same person, and he hung up on me. :<( --- Boyd Davezac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Myself and several others have been having serious > problems with Cox > internet. > > Since they changed to 4 hour leases on ip's with > dhcp, some of my friends > have lost their connection entirely, while I haven't > I have trouble loading > webpages.
