• I cut off my Cox yesterday

    From anim8rfsk@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 08:26:34
    Cable, DVR, email, everything.
    It hadn?t worked in the couple years since I started spending quality time
    in hospitals.
    They refused to fix it or even come out without charging me $100 despite
    the fact that I pay $10 a month for free service calls.
    A friend took the equipment in.
    A nice girl from the Cox store called to confirm I wanted to get rid of everything and said she would send me an email.
    But
    How is she going to send me an email when I don?t have email service
    anymore?

    I have Apple plus my own domain, but they don?t know that.

    I checked the app and it actually is gone.
    Too bad I can?t get back the thousands of dollars I?ve given them the last couple years that it didn?t work.

    It's crazy that it went years without working. There's truly no excuse
    for that.

    Is there no legal grounds you could use? After all, you paid them for a service and they didn't deliver it. That has to constitute some form of
    fraud or false pretenses on their part.

    I don't know what the limit is for small claims court in Arizona but
    that should be a route that gives you minimal paperwork and no legal
    expenses, although the amount you can claim is probably pretty low too. Obviously, you don't want to start a multi-year process involving big
    legal fees.

    I've never quite understood why cable subscribers don't mount a class
    action suit against the cable companies for their dreadful practices.

    You can still get email through your phone though. Can't you?

    Yes, I can get Apple mail and until today I could get mail from my own
    domain.

    True story.

    A friend of mine from high school actually did that. With his house key.

    Was your domain somehow tied to the Cox account or is this just a
    coincidence? If you mean artimation.com that looks to be working at
    the moment.

    The domain works but I can?t get to the webmail page. I first suspected Cox
    as well, but my tech girl tried it at her location and while she can do it
    fine on her windows, chrome laptop, it doesn?t work for her on her iPhone either. It?s a very strange and perplexing problem. Both of us have
    T-Mobile although she?s in a different city so we suspect they might have
    done something bad. Also, it doesn?t work on either phone with Safari or chrome.
