Tired of not getting the speeds you pay for? File an FCC claim!
Good evening everyone, I am sick and tired of Cox and their HORRIBLE network. I am tired of never getting the speeds I pay for. I am tired of being taken advantage of. Are you? You have the right to file a report with the FCC and you should. Put some heat on Cox and make them fix their overpopulated networks. I just wanted to share this because most people don't know this is a thing. It's simple. File a report and they look into it. Cox's "executive customer service" team will likely contact you as they are legally obligated to. If you are tired of not getting what you pay for then file a claim. Cox is required by law to provide you with the service you pay for. Attach screenshots of your slow internet speeds when filing a report. It's very easy and if enough people file then, hopefully, Cox will treat their customers as they should by providing a fair product at the paid for speeds. https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=38824 Also, this is my last ditch effort to help Cox customers who have no other options. I am switching to AT&T Fiber as it is finally available in my area. Good riddance Cox. There is absolutely NOTHING you could do to make me stay.
Annual plan
One of my coworkers has told me they had done an annual plan thru cox which in change they pay around 800 yearly, while they have abt the same plan as me but I pay monthly, my “annual” rate for my monthly is 300+ dollars and I want to know if I can get onto that plan. I don’t find it fair that they can have abt the same plan but spend 1/4 less than I do annually, plus I don’t get paid like they do so it’s just draining my pockets.DMZ Question
I am trying to enable DMZ on my Cox router. No matter what I do, whenever I click edit, then enable DMZ, under the advanced setting, the Cox WiFi app gives the following error “We Encountered an Issue. if the problem persists, check back later.Try Again.” I have then have to close the app and start over. I also tried changing the setting in the router web portal, but the setting for DMZ says to use the Cox WiFi App. I have reinstalled the Cox WiFi app on two different mobile devices to make sure it was not a corrupted app I have swapped 3 panoramic modems in week, now I am using the latest Cox XB8. I was recommended by tier 1 help desk to purchase the Cox Complete Care to assist me. Compete Care suggest I swap out to the newest XB8 as DMZ had been deprecated in the older Cox WiFi router. Sadly, I am getting the same error as before. I am at a loss. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need DMZ and not port forwarding. I have included 2 links below on imgbb for the screenshots of the Cox WiFi app error. Just enter the imgbb url and then add a forward-slash and the image name below. Thank you in advance.

Gigabit Speed Only on Speedtest.net
Hello there! As the title states, I only see Gigabit speeds on speedtest.net. Any other download or speed test tops out around 550mbps-600mbps. If I turn on a VPN through WireGuard, I get the full gigabit speeds on those same speedtests that only provided 500mbps just a minute before. It seems a lot like aggressive traffic shaping, though I'm thankful that my VPN, which shows up at 'other' in my bandwidth usage, appears to get the same priority as speedtest.net. Maybe because they can't identify the traffic, it bypasses the QoS rules? Does anyone else experience this? This wouldn't be a provisioning issue is it? I am in Ocala, FL.
New Yahoo Mail
New Yahoo Mail is available by clicking the "Try the new Yahoo Mail" button in the upper right. Here are a few things you may want to know. Settings are no longer accessed from a gear box icon in the upper right. Scroll to the bottom of folders and click the three dots in the lower left corner of Inbox. Select "Settings from the menu list. By default, inbox messages are separated into five, tab categories. To sort all messages together, select "Personalize inbox" from the Settings menu and turn off "Inbox categories". Messages can be scheduled to send later. After drafting a message, select the down arrow on the Send button at the bottom and select the time the message should be sent. Messages that have been scheduled to be sent may be viewed by selecting "Scheduled" from the Settings menu. A verification prompt is displayed when deleting messages but deleted messages don't go to "Trash". You may switch back to the old Yahoo Mail (for now) by selecting "Switch to Old Yahoo Mail" in Settings. The uBlock Origin browser extension successfully blocks all ads in MS Edge.
