I agree. I called Cox about upgrading to Business Package so I could
have access to all ports and have a static IP and more bandwidth for
upload, but was told that my area (Metairie) was not elegible. I figured
that the person on the phone didn't have a clue. So I switched because
what kind of service can I expect from Cox if it's representative
doesn't have a clue? This took place last December I believe. BTW, that
upgrade package prbably would have cost me $150.00 per month. I think
there should be a happy medium.
