Currently if you call in for cable, internet or phone you will have to pas a 580 credit check and if you credit isn't good enough than you pay a 60 dollar depo on Video and 90 on phone. No box deposits and we will bill the cable modem to you on the first bill. Yes, by far the toughest standards across the country but we go out like a trooper and sell it...

OK so new rules start on the 15th of this month.

Credit check is now 650 and if you dont pass on either of the three services you pay 50 dollar deposit. (each per service)... UMMM OK

Lets make it worse....

If you pass the credit check or not Cox now wants 50 dollar deposit per cable box. Oh remember that cable modem that was billed to you the first month.. Yep pay for it up front and hopefully you don't need a deposit added to it.

So to sum it up.. Cable sales go down... Installers have less to install, Dispatchers have less to dispatch.. Hmm seems great for the company. Work is already slow enough for most of the contractors..now what will it be like?

What do you guys think?
