Comment on Cox Media Group claims to be listening to private conversations to sell advertisements
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 months agoFUCK we have Cox and my alternative would be using my cellphone. This shit should be illegal? Is it thier modem and router? They really hate if you use your own.

I have to use their router or they will not give me my static IP. Atleast I can still set it pass everything to a useful router.
They even broke port forwards if I was just using their shit hardware.

??? They only offer static ips on business as far as I’m aware and they don’t care what router you use.

It's a business plan since I like hosting small stuff. I think they tie the static ip to an account number or mac address on the router. I just set it up to bridge since it so crap.

If it’s the technicolor you are not required to use that afaik. I have an SB8200 and my own router. Just configured the router to my static ip. Had to power cycle the modem and I was good.

If you’re able, try and trust a VPN provider, and route all your networking traffic through them. At least that’ll cut out your ISP from being able to harvest as much.
