Internet outages

Anyone know why COX is the only internet provider in my area? We’ve had our service drop a lot these past couple months. Something I can’t afford running a business. I’ve been looking around for other providers. COX seems to be the only ones, even though I’m in a manger city and plenty of other companies here

    Please keep us posted about finding other providers.  There is a major thread on Nextdoor with THOUSANDS of comments by neighbors who are considering dropping Cox due to these service interruptions and the recent "overage charges" they've been threatening customers.  I previously cut the cord for Cox TV and advised all family members to do the same.  I will NOT hesitate to support the ongoing campaign on Nextdoor for people to move away from Cox if they continue this extortion.

    Mine just dropped too and won’t be available for the next 6 hours. Honestly at this rate of disconnections my suggestion would be save up some money and go for a different provider. I’ve been a COX customer for the past 7-8 months and there has been more disconnections than I can count.

      Basically haven’t had internet all week with these random outages but I’m still going to get charged through the roof. Definitely would be looking into another provider but I can’t cause Cox is a monopoly in this area.
