Cox Communications has fully on-shore support. Here in SD they are actually LOCAL.
Their TS staff are responsive and courteous. I only wish their network were more reliable. (They're better than SBC in my experience, however.)
In Verizon land, residential customers do not have CLEC voice or DSL alternatives. We do not have Cox. Our area is served by Charter Communications who has the broadband cable monopoly. Verizon has the fiber monopoly with their FIOS. AT&T fiber is not possible in Verizon land. Nobody competes against Verizon for residential service in Southern California. However, Charter cable customers can get dial tone and data services. matthew black e-mail postmaster bargaining unit 9 representative csueu chapter 315 network services BH-188 california state university, long beach 1250 bellflower boulevard long beach, ca 90840-0101 work phone: 562-985-5144
