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.Trippy1921 hours agoNew Contributor25Views0likes2CommentsSenior 😕
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I'm feeling totally defeated and confused. I am a senior living on a fixed income. I was so happy to hear that cox had put a senior discount program together in my area. But after the events of the past couple of days I am starting to think I'm in the twilight zone. I enrolled in the senior discount program for cox internet for a bill total of $35.00 a month plus taxes I believe? I have yet to recieve a bill of $35.00. I have the app on my phone so I went to the chat to inquire about my account, I was totally dumbfounded when I realized the person I was chatting with had no idea about any discount program period! He continued to act as if he didn't hear me and talk over me telling me I was already receiving $85.00 in discounts what more did I want? I told him I wanted what I signed up for what I could afford what I agreed to nothing more nothing less! So he passed me on to someone else where I waisted another hour of my time trying to explain a program that according to him does not exist? Then he passed me to someone else who said the exact same thing except he also said that I should call the store because they have promos that they know nothing about? Which I thought was extremely odd? But then it hit me they just steamrolled right over me charging what they wanted thinking since I was on auto pay I would never catch on? No of course not! But I don't know what to think now my internet is off I can't speak to a person who knows what I am talking about? So what should I do? Go to T mobile or Verizon for there $30.00 senior internet? Asking for advice please and thanks for reading my rant. Thanks again, JeanneJeannetay22 hours agoNew Contributor28Views0likes1CommentDMZ 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.

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.NuclearRat2 days agoNew Contributor20Views0likes0CommentsNew Yahoo Mail
