No. It does not.
In fact, the evidence contradicts your explanation. Cox also put a hang tag on our mailbox. The tag has only two pre-printed time slots: morning and afternoon. It also says outages usually last less than four hours. Dividing 24 hours in a day by 4 yields six possible time slots. But apparently Cox does not want to pay overtime or take other steps less likely to inconvenience end users.

Cox Always tries to schedule work overnight whenever possible to disrupt the fewest number of people possible. Sometimes however, the work has to be done during the say. It has nothing to do with paying overtime, since they have people working around the clock, and the fact that you haven't considered these facts speaks volumes about YOUR consideration of their requirements.
