Another "cheater" that has a very annoying policy...  Cox Communications 
seems to have a 6-18 month lag in their CNAM update policy.  I really 
don't know how they do it (download and store all CNAM?), but all CNAM 
changes take a very long time to reach their customers.  It's a source 
of constant complaints when our customers (businesses) call their homes 
(Cox) and get an old CNAM.
