This is coming on the heels of a week-long battle with Cox, wherein their lame contractors (four service calls!) kept feeding me mis/disinformation until an on-payroll Cox Technician came out.
My internet worked fine (and still does), if you take the router out of the equation.
I’m honestly tired of purchasing/exchanging/returning crap to Best Buy (And I’m sure they are too); I’d really just like to purchase a piece of equipment and it work as-advertised.
