Re: Updated Cox HSI Limitations of Service

said by CoxTech1:

We hope to have a customer facing utilization tool up and running in the future but no such tool is available from us at this point.
and from a slightly legal standpoint, until this tool is up and running, they can't technically charge you for overages.

just saying we will need to be careful as not to go over the limit.
kinda makes one think.. metered billing after the 250 gig cap?

if i sound like i'm complaining, i'm not.

based on past performance, i doubt metered billing will be in cox's future if they want to keep their customers.

but you saying that having vonage will throw you over that limit is not true. it would take nearly 28 hours of talktime to put you over 1gig, which is almost 1700 minutes. i highly doubt you talk 1700 minutes a month. like i said - your fears of overages are unfounded with vonage.

i'm guessing more of a pseudo-comcast-esque soft cap where you are warned if you exceed the threshold and happen to be in the top x-th percentile of users across a market/cox.

based on past performance, i doubt metered billing will be in cox's future if they want to keep their customers.
past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future trending.
however, since cox is a privately held company, there is no demand for shareholder profits. this removes the need to keep increasing the profit margin every year. as such, i doubt metered billing - but i have been wrong in the past. at any rate, the lack of a "cox sponsored" usage meter prevents anything of the sort (disconnection ala comcast or billing ala twc).
