| Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana Cox rolled out DOCSIS 3.0 technology in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana this week with the launch of our Ultimate high-speed Internet service. Cox's Ultimate Internet offers downloads up to 50 Mbps and uploads up to 5 Mbps.
We plan to offer DOCSIS 3.0 technology to several markets by the end of this year, and it's expected to be available to more than two-thirds of our footprint by the end of 2010. No other market launches have been announced at this time, but testing is underway and we’ll have more news soon! | |

Wish the Baton Rouge market would have been part of this 
I wonder if they are going to compete with the fiber system in Gonzales, LA. But that one has been around for a while, so maybe not.
I am still jealous of the fiber system though...
10 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$28.95
30 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$44.95
50 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$57.95
That's just sick! Then combine that with every customer is 100Mbps to other fiber customers.

2 edits | Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana Available as a pro install only (Install is a one time 99.95 charge) and the monthly price is 139.99. However the
Louisiana market has a introductory price of only 89.99.
Some things to note are:
You get 3 ip addresses
At this time their are *NO* transfer caps on this level of service.
For those curious about what type of modem you get it's a Cisco DPC3000.
These modems are not yet widely available in retail outlets; however, Cox is selling them in our retail locations for $99.99.
Yes powerboost is available on this tier of service.

The speed cap is per modem. You get 3 IP's which can download 50Mb/sec. total between them. | |

also my other question is do i need to have cable tv and or phone service to get the $90 price? because i really dont watch tv much at all and have no need for a landline phone when i have a cell anyways. | |

You have 3 IP's on one modem, so you could have a IP for your XBox, another for PS3, and one for your computer... so that if you game a lot, you can just tell someone which IP to connect to.
I personally find having 3 IP's is a bit too much. Port 80, 25, etc are going to be blocked anyway, why would a regular home user need 3 IP's when some ports are blocked? :-( | |

| Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana Cool cause i was just wondering for when ever it comes to my area, since we have like 4 people in the house, that we can have 3 set ups and not slow someone else down for any reason. so if thats the case $90 isnt bad a month. just wish they could get the upload up to 50mb or atleast something decent like 20 or 30 | |

| Just to clarify some of the questions that have come up. $89.99/mo. is the service cost per modem. You get 3 IP addresses but all 3 IP addresses are tied to the same modem. Bandwidth is provied at 50Mb downstream and 5Mb upstream and the IP address count has no impact the QoS. | |

| will cox be offering lower prices for the service, because its not really that great compared to whats already available in that area. you can get fiber with a 50/50 up down connection which includes 100/100 within the network for 57.95 a month vs cox offering. this is without any caps, and they also don't throttle anything as well.

The following Video, Internet and Phone (VIP) bundles have been combined to make your switch to LUS Fiber easy. Or you can build your own bundle and still take advantage of the best rates. Our pricing is simple and straightforward with no confusing promotional rates or hidden costs. Each of our service offerings will be individually discounted. Our full suite of products and channel lineup will be announced in early 2009. Customers will be notified by mail when LUS Fiber is ready to take orders in their area.
VIP - $84.85
Video: Expanded Basic (80+ channels) = $39.95
Internet: Fast 10 Mbps download and upload = $28.95
Phone: Basic Line* = $15.95
VIP Silver - $137.21
Video: Digital Plus (more than 250 digital and HD channels, access to the Internet via TV, Video On Demand, Pay-Per-View) and HD Receiver Rental = $63.31
Internet: Turbo 30 Mbps download and upload = $44.95
Phone: Basic Line* and Premium Phone Features Package** = $28.95
VIP Gold - $199.99
Video: Digital Plus (more than 250 digital and HD channels, access to the Internet via TV, Video On Demand, Pay-Per-View) and All Premium Movie Suites (more than 40 channels) and HD Receiver Rental = $98.09
Internet: Extreme 50 Mbps download and upload = $57.95
Phone: Basic Line, Premium Phone Features Package and Unlimited Long Distance = $43.95
i hope they will plan to compete with lus because la state law would require cox to offer the same prices everywhere they provide service in the state.
also ATT are already putting up uverse network in jefferson parish and soon new orleans, they are waiting on an issue with jefferon parish before they can go live | |

I do have two DVRs and one HD receiver, so I wonder how much they would add to the $137 package? | |
