"Solid connection, hasn't gone down yet and upstream throughput is solid"
"Outbound connections to port 25 are blocked and cox selectively is dropping p2p software uploads! winMx and gnutella effected."
"If you use p2p apps and like to share and download, you won't want Cox residential, as you can only download"

    I have cox 5mbit/768kbit, and although connection is good, I don't like how they do not tell you about hidden selective p2p upload blocking! Gnutella clients and winmx are effected, but direct connect clients are still being allowed to upload, and for the moment bit torrent works as well. Either tell us we can't do any p2p, or unblock it! It's odd to me that they block certain p2p apps from uploading, but allow others, yet other methods of data transfer they're allowing such as FTP. What's up there! I paid for 5M/768K to use the upstream, and nowhere does it say I can't use p2p apps. Other than that, the service is decent except for their news servers which at the time of this review aren't doing too well.
