Am we ever gonna get the internet back in New Orleans? Or nah?

Internet down solid week in Metairie 70003.

What's up Cox? You mad at us or something? 

Jeez...it's always something with y'all. Must be nice having 

the monopoly. People just give you all this money for nothing in return

...but a tiny *hope* that one of these days, we'll wake up and have full 

working cable and internet that we pay $200/month for. Ahh...a girl can 

dream... which is pretty much our only form of entertainment anymore since

apparently we live on the dark side of the moon or something. Dear Santa, please send 

us first world cable and Internet services! We are certainly paying first world prices for it.

are y'all ever going to get it together??? If I'm going to live without it 70% of the time anyway,

I might as well stop giving y'all money... Can I write my cox bills off as "charitable donation" or 

"gift" on my taxes this year??? This is truly ridiculous lol

It says Ethernet and has those little spots. 

I just don't really care enough to fool with all that.

Adhd kicking in. Over it. It's been real tho, Derrick. From Cox Communications.

Merry Christmas. May Santa bring you all the new khakis you could ever want and more!

Helllooo??? Anybody ouuut there??? Omg...maybe we are living on the dark side 

of the moon!! Did I sleep through a hurricane or something?? *** you know

its for serious when the solo internet provider of a major metropolitan area doesn't 

even have the Internet, lol. Kinda scared I'm gonna walk outside to a post apocalyptic 

world or something! Now Cox, Do you see what happens to a city full of crazy people when you

take away their internet and cable for days on end?? New Orleanians with imaginations

and nothing to do is prob not best idea ever to provoke, just sayin.

Would turn on the news but the odds of the cable working properly

dont make reaching for the remote worth it really, I'll spare myself the disappointment.

Oh hey didn't see you there! My bad, all these cries for help are not real easy

to do in this format on my tiny iPhone 5 screen. But it's all I got for Internet access anymore...

thank baby Jesus for AT&T LTE, right? Lol, I can send account info but I'm not sure it's going

Help resolve anything, the outage is affecting the entire New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas and all complaint 

and crash report threads posted on the Internet for these areas begin around dec 7 and still being posted. So unless

yall can just fix my internet special...I mean, that would be pretty awesome I guess...

I won't tell my neighbors or anything, I promise ;)

lol, I can take a look at your account and see if the area outage is in fact what is causing you to not have any service.  If you're not part of that I can schedule a tech to come out to your home.

It is. Modems on and fine, service just slow and spotty and inconsistent all week long. Today I got one Google search to hit but all 

ceased to connect beyond that. YouTube app crashed altogether on all the iThings. It's not the devices, or the iOS, bc everything starts working again on cellular network. Everything is showing a connection to my network, but then just sits loading a page for 20mins and maxes out at about 1/4 progress. Past 24-48 hrs or so it's randomly dropping connection altogether and I have to go into settings to physically sign back into my network, which is truly annoying so I gave up. Then I got bored and so I decided to be truly annoying til I get service back. There's just nothing else to do! Sorry.

Does the connection work better using an ethernet connection?  Do you have a separate modem and router or is it an all-in-one device?

Ooohh...you don't suppose we're under cyber-attack, huh? I watched a video once where Anonymous hacked into CNN While they were live...lol kinda funny, actually. The look on the news Lady's face was hil-arious, for true!! She was all like, whaaa...? Am I getting punk'd?! Come out here Ashton...you rascal! Lol I'm gonna have to watch that again now ...ohh, right. YouTube. Dammit. Real talk tho, did New Orleans piss off North Korea or something??

All in one. What's an Ethernet?!? I want one!! Oooh...no. It's got those little plugs

that look like old-school phone cords? Yeah, idk what to do with that, really. Where do 

you even find a cord that looks like that?? Besides maybe my gramma's house? Or a 1991 Walmart or 

something? God I haven't seen one of those in forever...that's like, throwback complicated! Can't. I give up.

gonna start drinking, I guess. I forfeit. Y'all win again...for now.

Touché cox. #Gotmeagain :/

Ethernet does resemble a phone cord, but the connector is about 3 times the size of a phone jack plug.  If you do not have a device with an ethernet port then we are unable to determine if the issue is just with wireless or the actual modem  Let us know if you want to troubleshoot further.  Thanks!
