Please note Cox's attitude concerning the communication of anticipated down time. Props to CarolLM for her honesty. The quote was part of a response to a similar concern I had concerning Phone Tools but over the years I've been a Cox customer this seems to be their policy with regard to giving a paying customer any sort of heads-up when services are to go down.
Presuming that moderators and lower level service reps aren't in the know- the company apparently deems it preferable to send the customer and reps on a wild goose troubleshooting chase rather than be up front about maintenance- at very least by furnishing a resource that can be used as reference to determine that a service, that has been paid for, has been taken down for scheduled work.
This is the corporate attitude we're combating... sadly I doubt there's anything the moderators can do about it but suggesting any desire on the or intent part of Cox to be up front with what amounts to a captive customer base money garden when quite the opposite is true is a little insulting... though bluntness probably wouldn't go over very well, either.
