Re: [ALL] Digital Phone Update
I wonder if Fort Walton/Pensacola will ever see telephone. This would help since I can drop your basic cable product (your digital cable does nothing for me + it's overpriced)
If were going to be VOIP will this count against our transfer limit that's set on our accounts?

In Cox's VoIP digital phone setup, it's "VoIP" only to Cox and invisible to the customer. It's completely separate from your HSI account.
Think of the Cox-provided VoIP modem as effectively two cable modems in the same box:
One modem is for your HSI account; you connect your computer or router to it's port and it works just like any other cable modem.
The "2nd" modem is for "Cox Use Only" and carries only your voice traffic. It doesn't even have an ethernet or USB port for the user to plug-in to. It only connects to the analog phone lines in your house ... and of course the coax. |

Cox isn't going to implement the Ethernet port to begin with but has that option.

Also markets are going to be switched to Voip before the Ciruit switches reach capacity. It is a ll a cost issue. |

And the next logical step somewhere down the road would be to retire the existing CSV system and replace it with VoIP ... once the cost of VoIP gets low enough vs the cost of continued operation the CSV system.
In the end, it's ALL about the Benjamins. |
