to tell you the truth, don't bother switching till COX has everything settle down. Everything has been subpar for me and a few others. Speed and pings times are not what we use to have. DNS server go offline a lot, loss of service for short periods of time often. I am ready to switch to DSL at this rate. Check back in a couple months and see how it is then.

well MSN techs are complely useless, they dont know anything about DSL, i asked one lady if they use PPPoE and she said "No you use internet explorer". the only support i have got is from the MSN forum at DSLReports. MSN has a problem with the lease only lasting 30 minutes and the techs blame it on the line (which isnt the problem), the modem that they give you to use has a internal firewall that blocks EVERY SINGLE port. the list just goes on and on. its horrible, and i wasnt told that i could use a local isp i was told that i have to use msn (which isnt the case). so i cant wait to get rid of this crap
