I wish Cox would add an Expand All Comments option here because I'm having a hard time finding new comments.
Same with me, I'm scrolling and looking at how long ago the post was added.
I don't know where I am. I think I replied to one of my own posts.
I agree, I have no idea what's new. Waiting for WiderMouthOpen to provide a recommendation to purchase one that does it all.
Me too (not that).
However, as a rule-of-thumb about devices: you can buy your own Internet modem; you can buy your own router; however...you can only get a telephone modem (eMTA) from Cox. Cox has to issue it. It must come from Cox. By law, Cox has to freely loan any equipment for telephone service.
To earn some rental cash, they'll combine the eMTA into an all-in-one device and tell you to either buy it or rent it.. However, they do have standalone eMTA. So, for example, if you've already purchased a DOCSIS 3.1 Internet modem and a WiFi router, Cox must freely loan you the eMTA.
If Cox doesn't have a standalone eMTA in stock, they have to freely loan you another device (2-in-1 or 3-in-1) to provide your telephone service.
Clear as mud?
