Since I've moved to Jackson, MS, I went with Time Warner Cable. The services stays up all the time, and I haven't had any issues with blocked ports. I also get around 450KB/s downloading. I *really* don't miss Cox!
Also, I don't lose ssh connections, have problems with any blocked ports, nor has my IP address changed in nearly 2 years (since I got the service). I still don't like the cable company. :-) I need to get rid of digital cable, and find something else to feed my TiVo.

I've had my ftp on port 2121 for over a year now. I noticed a long time ago that they're blocking ftp incoming. I did have a problem with my ssh sessions being dropped until i made my router do dhcp from cox and I started allowing ping to my router. now I don't get dropped very often at all. However, I have noticed that the cox network looses it's connection to Southeastern fairly often. I blame it on their network. They might be doing work though. who knows.
