Hi Jusjokin12, Cox has been working all year on a project to update our telephony network by removing outdated Circuit Switch technology and replacing it with Packet Switch technology. The upgrade in phone network technology will allow us to provide customers with new phone features like Simultaneous Ring. (Simultaneous Ring is necessary to filter out spam calls via tools like Nomorobo.) We're working to migrate existing Cox Digital Telephone customers to the new platform as quickly as we can. This migration requires a service appointment so a field technician can reconfigure how your home connects to the telephony platform. Each Cox market is in the process of contacting current Cox Digital Telephone customers and scheduling conversion appointments. You should be contacted soon! -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

becky When you mentioned that a field technician appointment is required (presumably at their residence), are you saying that because @jusjokin12 doesn't currently use digital phone service through an eMTA at his/her residence as I wasn't contacted for such a field service appointment when I was migrated over.  I, like many others, were already connected through an eMTA on the premises. Thanks.

    Hi Rob, a service appointment is required even if you are already using an eMTA for phone service. There is a bit more involved than just flipping a switch. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

      Becky, no one visited our home and no appointment, as you previously described was made with us directly, leading me to believe that the migration for us then occurred further upstream. In fact, I only learned that we had been migrated over just days ago when you pointed it out here in this forum.

      Perhaps, for example, remote reprovisioning of our eMTA and/or redirecting/routing our digital voice packets to your new or upgraded switching facilities occurred as part of the migration. However, there was no physical change to our network topology here on the premises. Does that sound about right?
