For once, I have to disagree. I'm on Comcast, and they have the same offer,
and for testing, I decided to give it a try on one of the PC's in the house.
So far, its been ok, for over a year. Assuming this is the same version
that Cox is offering, I'd have to say set a System Restore point and give it
a try.
