[olug] Cox WiFi Discussion

[Jon Larsen]

Has anyone used the service yet?  Any speed tests?

Suggestion:  Make another email id on your cox account, only use that to
sign into the Wifi service, nothing else.

Particulars:

* 3 devices per id, a maximum of 10 per cox account.
* Device remembered for 2 years (most likely the MAC address).  Should be
fun for new MAC random feature in IOS8.
* Most tiers supported.  Not available to Starter and Essential internet
tiers.

If you are interested in using Cox's Wifi service, take a look at this
article.  It doesn't mention Cox at all, but I think you'll find it
interesting.
