Has anyone else dealt with this 'upgrade' to their Cox phone service? I keep getting notices so I finally called. I am somewhat of a dinosaur in that I keep a landline for emergency/911 situations. We no longer answer it (keep the ringer off) and 99.9% of the calls we do get are spam, so its really just an insurance policy at this point.
Now Cox is telling me that unless they upgrade my phone lines and swap out a special modem, my phone service will be disconnected. And even if I do upgrade I will lose phone service during a power outage unless I buy a backup battery from them (of course). They also said they may need to do some rewiring (at my cost) inside the house to make it all work
I am pretty sure we will just let the landline die rather than deal with the hassle of running any new wiring but just wondered if anyone else locally has dealt with this.
