I'd be more worried if I thought that Cox was in the communications
business - in spite of what they say, they act and appear to think, like an
entertainment company... they feel that they need to control what the
consumer can do with their product.  BellSouth on the other hand are a
communications company and make money by facilitating the transfer of
information, not controlling it.
