Does your call waiting only turn on or off when your modem resets or is it turning on or off without the modem resetting?
It will stay OFF (which is the way I want it) as long as the modem doesn't reset. I have the modem plugged into a UPS to limit the number of times it resets. Still, the modem resets on its own a couple times a month (not quite every week). When it does the Call Waiting (and no other setting) turns from OFF to ON. I usually notice this when I'm interrupted in the middle of a call by the obnoxious beep of another call trying to break through. Then I have to make a mental note to log into COX and reset the Call Waiting back to OFF again. Never a permanent fix (for the last 3+ years) but something that keeps me coming back to the COX website on a regular basis. Last week Call Waiting resurrecting itself had me back on the website again. That's when I noticed that my "bundle discount" had expired and my bill had gone up to close to $400/month. That was enough to have me drop cable TV and downgrade broadband. Too stupid to pay more to COX than my combined electric, gas and water bill each month.
