Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana said by nolaguyfiber :
i have a question does 3 ip addresses mean i can have 3 individual lines connected to modems in my house for a max potential of 50mb each?
The speed cap is per modem. You get 3 IP's which can download 50Mb/sec. total between them. |

| so im capped at a total 50mb shared between the 3. that 50 for each modem? i just got confused when you said total between them. just wondering
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? :-( |

The cap is 50Mb/sec. per modem regardless of whether or not you use all the IP addresses. I'm not aware of that price being any kind of a bundle discount so the price is what it is. |

| 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 |

kudos:65 | You would get one upstream channel total per modem for the modem for everybody to share. |

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. |
