This weekend will end the first phase of our campaign to fight Cox usage caps being tested in Cleveland, Ohio. We’re collecting the names and e-mail addresses of interested citizens that would like to participate in the fight to get Cox to drop its usage-based billing and overlimit fee scheme. If you are interested, use the link at the top to “Contact Us” as a volunteer and include your name and a valid email address.
Next week we will have an initial outline for an action plan with hopes of building a team of Cleveland-area Cox customers to lead the fight.

It’s your fight to preserve your uncapped broadband, so please get involved!
