| Good for Lafayette There is no comparing the Cox service to the LUS service. However where this becomes beneficial to others is those living outside of the very limited LUS footprint.
My best friend who works for Cisco, lives in Lafayette in a $400k+ home in a very nice new subdivision and has LUS power but is not even in the first (and currently only) five phases of LUS's rollout. He is literally right on the edge (not even a mile) from where the map stops.
He works 90% from home and does everything over Cox. VPN, Cisco phone, video conferencing, gaming like most have never seen (simply the most amazing game room).
He wanted fiber and would be the ideal type to get fiber, but no such luck.
I told him today about this and he immediately called and signed up. This is huge for him and people like him in the PARISH of Lafayette, not just in Lafayette city limits.
This is where Cox has the edge. And the pricing is very reasonable when you consider the rest of the cable providers DOCSIS 3 pricing for plans like this.
It has its place, and I don't think it should be so easily discredited. Of course many people have the whole "monopoly" mentality when it comes to cable providers so nothing they do will ever be good enough.
Also, this is exactly what the City of Lafayette Pro-Fiber people wanted. They wanted to spur competition. Now they are getting that. Can't please everyone I suppose. People just like to complain, you never really hear about the people who are satisfied. |

| right now, cox has the advantage of a bigger footprint, but if LUS net ever expands to the city as a whole, then at that point, cox may aswell leave town.
once both services are offered over the same map, then i don't see any way for cox to survive at that pricing. |

| well the difference is Cox serves not only the City of Lafayette and the parish of Lafayette but all the surrounding areas as well.
Not to mention all we are talking about here is internet. To people on this board internet is king, but to 75+% of the people out there even in the city of Lafayette it means little to nothing to them.
Phone and TV is the majority of what the avg. consumer wants and needs and on those fronts neither is much better or worst then the other. |
