Cox is the company that has a near-monopoly in my part of town (and why I can't get, and likely will never be able to get, AT&T fiber). They are literally cöcks.
Edit -- as evidence of their stupidity: when I first moved into an apartment here in the city, and contacted them to get service at the new address, they denied me service on the basis that the previous tenant of the apartment (who probably departed because of Katrina and definitely wasn't coming back) had a large unpaid bill. They wouldn't provide me service without paying the unpaid bill (!). I said, "fine, I don't need your damned service anyway!" and let it be. You'd think that'd be the end of it -- it would have been, for any other sane company. But not these fools. For the next 7-8 years or so, they continuously spammed me with their stupid flyers for their crappy service. It took my writing a nasty paper letter, registered USPS, to their corporate headquarters, in order for them to permanently remove me and my address from their mailing list.
