Re: [LA] Slow in Baton Rouge 70810
Does anyone believe the last 12 months of this will have an effect on Cox raising their fees?
Does anyone expect it to get better once they do?
Here's the story:
»www.wafb.com/global/story.asp?s=11453995
BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Cox customers can expect their bills to be a little higher beginning in December.
Basic cable customers will pay an additional $2.58 each month and expanded cable will cost an extra 42 cents on top of that.
Cox also says they're charging one dollar more per month for premium channels, such as HBO or Showtime.
Internet subscribers will have their rates increased by two to three dollars.
The new rates are effective December 8th.
As my inner Jed keeps saying, "Pitiful, just pitiful." |

Wow thats pretty messed up. Most people in BR get horrid internet service because of the insane node congestion. Cox should be giving people service fee reductions instead of raising the price for all of the crap that's gone on during the last year. That actually is very sickening to hear. What can you expect though, it feels like Cox doesn't try and prevent these congestion problems from happening, they just react when it does happen....very slowly. |

This just sucks... raising the prices once again! For this garbage???
Guess it is time to cut back my bill to cover the increases.

Well considering the horrible service we've been getting throughout the last month and even before that, now compounded by a rate hike...I'm really hoping and waiting for some sort of fiber connection in and around the New Orleans market. As soon as one is available I'm switching and will never look back. It would take a miracle for Cox to keep me as a customer with another good competitor in the market here. But I honestly don't think Cox really gives a rats #$%. And yes, a rate hike will make you think exactly that with everything else we've gone through around here. |

Not that much better here but I did receive a PM confirming the massive congestion in this entire area. And it's nice to have some confirmation to know that someone actually knows that we're having serious issues. He also said that they're working on it but it just takes time. I really hope it doesn't take too much longer..a year for you all in BR and now over a month for me here in Kenner...and I know I'm not the only one experiencing this around my area. Now with the lovely rate hike, it just ticks me off.
Upload is slower than usual tonight. I usually don't have issues with upload, its just the downstream that's congested...well until those nights that it just craps on itself and hits and drops below 1 Mbps.. but now if my upload is being congested...ugh
Oh and I love how you ping better to a server that I'm geographically closer to lol. |
