Any Cox technicians in here?

Yeah, that's your phone line. If you do cut it off because you only use a cell phone, keep in mind that you may be forced to re-connect it all when you move or sell.

That’s the next owner’s responsibility, not his.

I believe it will be the next owners responsibility to contact Cox to repair it if they want Cox telephone service. Cut it off and keep on trucking!!!!

I’ve tried calling but cox has horrible customer service which is one reason I stopped using them.

When I moved in my current house it was a new neighborhood. They had Cox cable hanging on my fence and it was there several weeks. I called Cox and asked them about when they were going to bury it. They said “we can’t assist because you are not a Cox customer”. For some reason that really peed me off so I went and cut the cable. They were there within an hour and fixed it, then buried.

Hmmm. I've never seen Cox use twisted pair wire, nor a box that doesn't identify it as being Cox.

You just have to get their attention.

I was in HS, headed home from work. Jackwad coming from opposite direction turns left in front of me and I t-boned him. Woman that lived in corner house seen it all and calls cops. We sat for over 30 minutes with no response. The guy that lived across the street came in from work. Idiot I hit was blocking driveway. His neighbor told him that she had called it in 45 minutes ago. He parks in middle of street, goes in house and comes back out 1 minute later, laughing. He says they'll be here quick. He called and blurted out street intersection, says SHOTS FIRED, OFFICERS DOWN and hangs up. Couple of minutes and we had 8 cars, came from all 4 directions.

I have got my rent houses back after a tenant moves out and I cut everything out that is not needed.
Or was not there when i rented it out.

Cut it off and stuff it down the hole and plug the hole.
My son left a lot of stuff I did not want in a house I let him live in.
Electronic front door lock and some security att junk with a big box.

I took it all out and slammed it to the concrete floor to make darn sure it was not fixable.
Then into the scrap iron bucket.

Keep it simple.

It says Cox on the right side

Not long after we got married, 1976, we moved into a rent house. A cable was hanging through living room wall. I hooked it to TV and received everything that could be had. Had been there about 2 months, around 6 pm a knock on door. Cable guy says he is looking for Joe Smith, to get past due bill paid.
Yold he had moved, showed him my DL and he walks off. Figured he would go to pole and cut cable. Nope, drove off. We had cable, never got a bill.

Thought you already were Technician of Cox

Unless it's required by the buyer. In a power outage or bad weather that knocks out the cell tower there's nothing like an actual phone line. I wouldn't have a home without it. It's also great for giving someone a number and not having to deal with spam texts.
