Hardship

Billing can be considered a technical issue…technically. 

No. People really have to start reading the welcome thread. It says clearly:

"Purpose

The purpose of the Cox Internet Forum is to allow customers to discuss technical topics related to residential Cox High Speed Internet services with other customers. If you need help with billing or other account specific issues, please reach us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or at cox.help@cox.com."

Just contact billing some way and ask to set up a "promise to pay" arrangement. As long as your talking about less then a month, that should be do-able. If you mean longer then that though, you will have to cancel service if you can't pay for it or it will be disconnected for non-payment.

What? read? Understand? Comprehend? You ask too much, lol. 

There is a whole culture that seems to be lost on a lot of people online. Things like don't use all caps, that is considered yelling. Don't reference something without quoting a source. Read the welcome thread and search the forum for any posts that may go over your issue before posting your own. Some people only know Facebook and think a forum is just another wall. It's so sad because it's changing the very nature of the internet.

that fools are blind to their own foolishness. As Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man, "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."
