Yahoo Mail = bigger discount?
I'm curious if Cox is planning to slash their prices now that they've ditched their email servers and support, leaving their customers to fend off spam and ads like they're starring in their own inbox horror movie. Sure, there's a $1.99 upgrade to Yahoo+ per account, but if you've got multiple accounts, it can add up faster than a caffeinated squirrel on a sugar high. Looks like Cox is winning big time with this move, but what about the rest of us? And no, I don't want a mobile phone. I'm just trying to get my emails without needing a degree in spam warfare!9Views1like0CommentsSetting Up Cox/Yahoo Email on an iPhone
I tried several ways to get my new Cox/Yahoo aocount on my iPhone. Turns out it was very easy, but I haven't seen this solution anywhere. Delete the old Cox account under Settings -> Mail Add a new account Select Yahoo! It will ask you to sign in - use your old Cox email address as your username: jdoe@cox.net and then click next. It will then ask for your password - use the new password you created when you transitioned to Yahoo and then click next On the next screen, make sure "email" is on and then click "save" That should do it!20Views0likes0CommentsOngoing connection issues
Is anybody else in Tulsa having intermittent connection issues? For at least the last few months I have had internet drop for a minute or two and then work fine for awhile. Sometimes it affects TV as well. It seems to happen at the top of every hour and at other times. Since you can't call in a ticket or enter one online, your option is to use the worthless chat feature. Having a college student in the house as well as working from home has become a big issue. It may be time to get 5G internet and getting Dish for TV. I am paying $360.00 per month for an unreliable service. They always want to come into your home to test the signal strength and I tell them to test to the dmarc on the house first. In the last two years I have had my cable disconnected at the pedestal to open a port to connect a new customer. This happened late on a Friday and even though it was a Cox screw up I had to wait until Monday to get it resolved. Then the same thing happened again a week later.23Views0likes1CommentCox Email to Yahoo Android app
I was able to transition to Yahoo using my Windows computer's browser. I then wanted to add my cox.net email account to the Yahoo email app on my Pixel 8 Pro phone and was not successful. When adding an new email account to it I get options of Google, Outlook, AOl, Yahoo, Office 365 and Others. I tried Others and it would not work. I just tried Outlook and was told I have tried too many times with an incorrect account or password. I don't believe that to be the case. Can I use the Yahoo app on my phone? Is there another app I should use?14Views0likes0CommentsFiled an FCC Complaint
Internet service not only does not adhere to advertised speeds, but also neighborhood/community has been without service for more than 24 hours three times in the past two weeks. The most recent outage has already surpassed three days. No notice was given when crews began work on-site when services were disconnected and now more than 50 businesses and homes are without service. Cox stopped providing estimate reconnection times more than 24 hours ago. I sincerely doubt that anything will result from the complaint, but this fiasco is one more reason to avoid Cox like the plague. In four years of being a Verizon customer in the same exact area, I never suffered a single outage that was not due to adverse weather or a power outage in the area.87Views0likes3CommentsBoot issues
Anyone else experiencing Boot issues with Arris receiver ..I have had this issue numerous times, (5 so far this month). It usually gets resolved every time I login and restart. But not the case today. There is a low signal 720 x and the correct signal 1920 came through for a millisecond. Ok . just came on. Was off for 3 hours... What's happening Cox?7Views0likes0CommentsBe pretty sweet to get notifications of upcoming maintenance.
Doesn’t seem like it would be to hard to email the customers within the effected area, a simple “hey your internet might go out as we are doing maintenance / upgrades in the area”. It gets very frustrating when you are doing something very important and bam the internet is out for the next 4-6 hours without any sort of notice.19Views0likes1Comment- 16Views0likes1Comment
