I just got off the phone with Cox. The rep confirmed that they are using the marketing company mentioned previously. She said that she would "notify the marketing department" about my desire to stop these calls, implying that there is a list which will no longer contain my phone number.
This still doesn't explain the discrepancy mentioned by Szymon, who said he already informed his cable company that he did not wish to receive calls. If my cable company were to mistakenly release my number, I'd be pretty pissed.
So, if you're receiving calls from 515-309-9027, call your cable company and calmly explain that you're receiving calls from a marketing company and you'd like them to stop. Filing a complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry, at least in my case, would not be helpful even though I am on the list, because I have an "established business relationship" with Cox.
