Any Cox technicians in here?

[crispy]

I’m remodeling a house and it has several cox boxes I want removed. I’ve tried calling but cox has horrible customer service which is one reason I stopped using them. What is the best way to get rid of these old service boxes?

Why don’t you put a recessed box in this one’s place? The coax running through the Smurf pipe is a little janky though.

Unless it's required by the buyer.

If a buyer is that petty, they’d better have an offer above asking for it to be worth while. I don’t know about Cox, but both AT$T and OEC Fiber will run new cable for free just to get you as a customer.

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.

When we moved in, '03. Got the AT*T bundle internet, landline, cell.
Had the landlines for 12 years, never rang. And then, 6:00, just sitting down to eat and phone rings. "We're calling about your car's extended warranty."

I ripped the phone out of the wall.

Nope. Only getting fiber internet from Grid SW I think it’s called. Nothing else. I have no problem pulling the box off and just leaving the wires in the wall but I don’t know how to get rid of the coax running down into the blue pipe into the foundation

The white and blue twisted pair are the old telephone lines that go into the house to the individul rooms to phone jacks in those rooms. Old school wiring, not used any more.


That big black blue plastic wrapped wire is the incoming cable. Cut it off and seal it with expanding foam or caulking. Poof, you're done.
