The upload is the big plus, but 500K a sec is just beautiful..

For $40 bucs a month, NO ONE else in phoenix can compete..

:D

Cox has actually been pretty damn good as of late ( Phoenix )


Big ups to them :thumbsup:


PicS!

You should also have 5Mb/768kb available to you for an additional charge as well. At least that's the plan in my part of the country for Cox (New England).


It is, and i believe that reevaluated their pricing..

No only $55 a month..

5/768 is not shabby at all..

:)

Ok, so I didn't get some screwed up account all of a sudden then (I noticed it last night when uploading some files and the speed was more than 2x what I used to have). It figures, we get ready to move to a place where Cox doesn't have service yet, and they finally give us some decent bandwith... :(

I'm in one of 3 markets where Cox didn't upgrade :( (Gainesville, FL) Still stuck on 1.5Mbit/128K for $40/mo

The other broadband alternative (BellSouth DSL) is so bad I guess Cox didn't feel the need to compete here. They probably thought a town full of college kids would still sucker into paying higher prices. Grr.

Must be nice. I am stuck with dial-up @ 44Kbps right now. DSL is an option but not worth it when it is $35 for 256/128. Word is that Verizon DSL just became available in the area though. :)

Cox just went to 3mbps earlier this year, I'd pay a few bucks more for 4 to 6 plus 512 up :thumbsup:

I'd be upset.

:D

Broadband in Canada = win. :D

when i move into my new place i'm getting 10Mbit/1Mbit for $69.95 CDN, that's $52.96 US

too bad you don't live here. In parts of Sacramento, Surewest offers fiber connections that are basically 10Mb/s up and down. Not bad for home use. They package the internet, cable, and phone for $100/month or you can get it seperately. I did the cable and internet for 80/month, which is quite a steal.
