None of my cable outlets will connect
I have tried plugging in the newest contour and modem into every single cable outlet in the house and it’s not connecting. We live in an old house. Could the outlets need updating to work with the ne...

Only one outlet receives the primary signal from Cox, and the outlet would be the one previously connected to the 10-year box.
Can you post the rating of your splitter...900 MHz, 1000 MHz? Also look for an RG number on your coaxial cables inside and outside your primary outlet
We hooked up the contour to the same outlet that the previous box had been. I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about the cables. But I do know they are probably older than dirt. We weren’t using a splitter for the contour or the modem. We directly plugged it into to the cable outlet. I tried to replace the cable with the new one, but the old one is frozen in place and I can’t unscrew it. However, I tried hooking the modem up with the cable that came with it, and still no luck.
It's not that RG-59 can't carry the signal...it's that RG-59 can't carry a "clean" signal as far as RG-6.
The cables should be stenciled...albeit faded...and it's probably the older RG-59 because it worked with the 10-year box.
I don't know if Cox rewires houses but you could research a local contractor for cheaper. "Cable Installers near me"
You definitely need to replace the "frozen" outlet due to corrosion. I wouldn't even recommend an amp in your case.
