A little further offline than usual

Well, that was an entertainment I didn’t need. As I think most of you are aware by now, I’m relocating, and going through the usual shuffle of changing phone and internet providers. Here in Rhode Island, my service was via Cox, and I made the mistake of giving them advance warning about shutting off service, via an online chat today. I asked them to shut things down on Jan 30, but they proceeded to shut down my internet and phone service the moment the chat was finished. Attempts to make contact with them got exactly nowhere.

Two comments for the moment:

First, for the next few days I’ll have very limited access to the internet. I’ll be online to put through comments once a day or so.

Second, I don’t recommend Cox as an internet provider. Their customer service is very poor and their service in general is shoddy. Almost any other firm would be a better option. Just saying…

I’ll have more connectivity later this week and will be settling into my new digs next week. Stay tuned!

  1. Hey JMG

    Sorry to hear about all this, it sounds like “Cox” is the perfect name for that company, if you know what I mean.

    Also, good luck on the move. I’ve moved quite a few times before, so I recall how tedious and frustrating it can be.

Courteous, concise comments relevant to the topic of the current post are welcome, whether or not they agree with the views expressed here, and I try to respond to each comment as time permits. Long screeds proclaiming the infallibility of some ideology or other, however, will be deleted; so will repeated attempts to hammer on a point already addressed; so will comments containing profanity, abusive language, flamebaiting and the like -- I filled up my supply of Troll Bingo cards years ago and have no interest in adding any more to my collection; and so will sales spam and offers of "guest posts" pitching products. I'm quite aware that the concept of polite discourse is hopelessly dowdy and out of date, but then some people would say the same thing about the traditions this blog is meant to discuss. Thank you for reading Ecosophia! -- JMG
