Welcome back PA Bear!! Hope you had a good trip...
Bruce......don't get me wrong, I am quite satisfied with Cox
Internet.....wouldn't have anything else, given a choice. Their service is
superb and this is the first time I have run into any sort of problem. In
this case, I just had great difficulty convincing them that this was not an
OE problem. Granted, most of what they see probably is.....and I was almost
convinced I had a problem myself. However, the more I tried to fix it, the
more it pointed to a problem at their end. All the techs were polite,
probably smart (er than me).....I just had a time trying to find one that
would investigate their end and that didn't happend until I provided
undeniable proof. No matter, 'tis done and resolved, Mom is happy....that's
all that matters. Thanks again to all.
Heirloom, old and still thinks mom's
are good
