And not only does their business plan screw subscribers, it manages to screw stockholders, too!

Such a deal!

Internet only, got rid of cable years ago but it is pretty good internet for the USA at least. Never had an outage of any real length of time in 20 years or so of service. I am able to stream "HD" from Netflix and other providers with no issues.

"I just signed up for Cox TV. I had trouble getting the TV to have a clear picture so I contacted Cox since it was new service. They said I could get a technician to come out but it would cost me $60.00. I said since it is new service I am not willing to pay that. They agreed and said there would be no charge. The Tech came out and got a clear picture in five minutes, he was good and friendly. SOI get the new bill and it INCLUDED a $60.00 service call. That is exactly what I said I would NOT be willing to pay.

I called cox and they said they have no notes about waiving the service fee. Basically, they ripped me off for $60.00. They think I will pay but I won't. I will go to small claims court or switch my service. Why do these companies get away with stealing from customers?"
