COX plays that BS to a tee,in fact you'd be hard pressed to look on their web site and see a REAL price for any of their services--its's all about packages that run out in 90 days,120 days,180 days.

I'm going to cancel cable soon because it SUCKS. Paying over 40.00 per month for the most basic TV package and watching HOURS of commercials per day. Where my home is I can get 20-25 channels free with an outside antenna. Most of my watching is streaming video anyway.

Watch though,COX has already put data limits on my HSI streaming (after they shoved it down peoples throats to get HSI for years) and the price,unless the Gov gets involved will skyrocket especially with net neutrality thrown out the window.

An inexpensive DSL connection and minimum Netflix subscription works for us. hunter Aug 2018 #15

For a DSL connection I'd need a phone line left-of-center2012 Aug 2018 #16

Not here in California. There's no phone service required if you can find a local provider. hunter Aug 2018 #17

Yes, things are different in CA left-of-center2012 Aug 2018 #18

I'd try pushing the phone company for a bare-bones DSL only line... hunter Aug 2018 #19
