Re: Data leak or equipment issues
Cox probably won't bother to tell you that Arris equipment has many well known unpatched security flaws, in one case a backdoor allowing full network access. Since you sound like you don't use much network bandwidth and then magically you started using so much you Max out your limit, well that sounds like an equipment issue related to an owned device using your high speed connection. Cox owns the responsibility for modem security since you are not allowed to upgrade it for any purpose including to secure it.Tom's hardware has a write up that might helpwww.google.com/url . You should not have to be this far in the weeds, but what you are describing sounds like malware you can't see on recent equipment additions you don't control. Routers, modems, and other Internet of things devices are that hot hacker Target at the moment; the bandwidth has multiple uses for hackers.5Views0likes1CommentXRE 03059 ERROR
Same old story. Why is Cox intentionally burying this issue. All forum discussions with this topic get closed by Cox with no resolution. This is class action lawsuits stuff. Cox advertises a channel lineup it NEVER provides. Several channels kick this error code including FS1 and FS2. Cox is misrepresenting it's product. This is a Cox issue not an individual issue or a local user issue. This is why Cox service is the worst among all major cable companies, because they do not care about providing the product they advertise.9.7KViews0likes2CommentsWhy does FS1 never work?
FS1 almost never comes in. Latest was the non-availability of Worldcup soccor. Its not like its the worlds most popular sporting event, oh hold it, IT IS THE WORLDS MOST POPULAR SPORTING EVENT and cox can't get that channel to work, EVER. Why does Cox advertise so many TV channels that just DO NOT WORK? FS1 is just the one I most frequently like to TRY to watch. Many other "off the beaten path" channels also don't work. It seems to be a number around 5% of the channels will not come in at any given time. I know there is no given Service Level Agreement, but Cox service is terrible.1.7KViews0likes1CommentUBEE DDW366 WIFI DIES INTERMITTENTLY
