Comments on news posted 2006-01-25 12:16:41: Cox hopes to imprint their brand upon your brain via the use of a (edit: relatively) new digital character they've creatively dubbed "Digital Max", launching a new "media rich website" for the character today. ..

Nice name

They were going to call him Reddy Kilobyte, but that might imply some form of service.

Been Here

These ads have been playing in our market for at least two months. They are targeting the fact that Verizon has been installing FIOS all over town.

Re: Umm....

Not only old but annoying, they must wedge him in everywhere they can't sell air time, which on some stations appears to be 30 minutes out of 60. I don't have a cable choice, I already have cable, quit selling me on it already. Whatever happened to "commercial free cable" ? We pay to watch advertising. The "program" is just there to try and stop us from changing the channel. The only reason I keep cable is for the internet.

OK....I feel better now!

Ditch digital dumbass...

...and tell my WHY I should have their other services. These marketing idiots are so busy trying to be flashing, they forget about the product they're trying to sell. I ain't buying digital dumbass, it would be telephony or HSI.

Re: Nice name

This changes everything.

When this news hits the Street, FIOS will be all but forgotten.

failure in marketing.

this has to be the dumbest marketing character I have ever seen. Looks like the family reject from The Incredibles. What did it take them all of 3 seconds to come up with this?

Re: Digital Max in action

Just in case anybody looked at the mp3 files, they are encoded at 224kbps. I also noticed that whoever did this used iTunes of all programs to encode an mp3. Cox sure is in trouble...they are as dumb as their sales guy.

why comcast

Why does every one always want comcrap to buy their cable companies? Do you really think anything will change, all the employees will remain, the cable infrastructure will remain the same, the only thing that will probably change is your bill will go up... careful what you wish for.
