[edit] too much praise?

is it just me, or does it seem like the whole article does nothing but praise cox? (or at least being neutral). How about some screw ups they've had? such as their supposed blocking of craigslist a while back?--marqmike2 02:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uhh, wait... what?

Parts of this article look like they were written by the company themselves, and clearly doesn't meet Wikipedia standards. I marked one section as disputed as there are numerous general statements made that are not backed up by source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.223.92.147 (talk) 08:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Parts of the article?? The entire thing sounds like it was written by a company employee... I can see that Wiki editors have been slowly editing it, but a lot of the core content has got to go or be drastically edited. I don't see the point for having the listed of serviced areas except to promote Cox service. FantajiFan (talk) 01:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you. A lot of this article sounds as though someone inside the company wrote them. I tried to reword some sentences so they didn't seem like such an advertisement, but almost nothing in here has sources. Darkteferi 21:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editorial?

Much of the article appears to be editorial comments and opinions on the cable industry. Particulary the Consumer Issues section. IPingUPing 01:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I moved the Consumer Issues section to Cable Television section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dslprime (talk • contribs) 18:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HIgh Definition

This section makes no sense and should be removed. The first sentence is an incomplete sentence. Adding HD channels has nothing to do with the analog to digital conversion which will happen on 2/17/2009 not 2/16/2009.

High Definition Launches HDTV in Omaha, Nebraska, Las Vegas and Phoenix. As of November 20, 2007, Cox Communications has been expanding their HD service by adding more High-Def channels and more along the way. This will help prepare for February 16, 2009 when the Federal Communications Commission has confirmed that all broadcasting will be digital and that all analog signals will be dropped.Dslprime (talk) 21:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Residential Services Added

Attempted to consolidate some of the comments and in the discussion page by creating a residential services area and adding tight references. IPingUPing (talk) 00:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
