Hi.

Qwest charges $79.99 for 20mb service on a month-to-month basis. Or $69.99 for 12 mos. if you sign a contract.

Seems like Cox is a better deal PLUS if you bundle you get more savings. I'm already saving $33 a month with bundling and 20mb service.

I have to agree, that package is extremely weak for a DOCSIS 3 product. Heck I've seen those speeds (obviously they were monkeying around with something) on DOCSIS 1.1 here.

Well id like to see a 30/5 package or so atleast. I mean hell its not always about the download speeds, not when you have millions of people who game and host games, and that uses your upload speeds, and with low 2mb up connections, your hosting aint gunna be that good.

actually to a new Qwest customer, at 20Mbps, it is $45 a month for 12 months (also the price is locked for life according to the flyer I picked up today from apt office. here in Tucson)

I find myself wondering what the cap speed is. So it's 28Mbps after powerboost..great. Is it really 20Mbps? 25?

Cox makes it damn near impossible to find out without empirical testing.

Mmmm That should have large window size of TCP header can really archiving much faster throughout than small default 64KB TCP window size that you can do nothing about trying to tell cox to reduce latency so having large window size of TCP header will do you a good of getting a big throughout. DOCSIS series won't do whole TCP header offload for you.

Your posts, interesting as they may be, always leave my head twitching like a frog in a microwave. I really didn't get any of the last; however, I consistently beat your speed scores with a lock-stock 1.67GHz Intel iMac Mini, and I wouldn't know my RWIN if it bit me on the ass...but don't stop; at least you got a chuckle or two out of Tubbynet, which was more than I could no matter how I tried.

* 64KB window size of TCP header is really too old, it is obsolete and it should be discontinue of use for long distance of internet wide area network unless if you need full of 64KB window size for LAN use only that can ramps you up to 500Mbits in a illusion but in physical LAN of 100 Mbits will do a good.

* 65MB window size of TCP header is very newer and it is needed for the future of WAN internet link of next generation with no latency guarantee, That 65MB of window size can do over 500Gbits in illusion and that 1Gbits physical link with 65MB window size will work very well that will ramps you up throughout very faster and less times.

*full of window size at 1 ms latency in illusion*

I just saw this today also, $20 more for an additional 5mbit down and .5mbit upload is kinda high... But my biggest question why do you need Docsis 3.0 modem for these speeds? I can only hope this is just a temp package and soon will offer real Docsis 3.0 speeds for this price (hench the need for Docsis 3.0 modem.)

They require one for now. I signed up in the hope that they're going to up the speeds in the future once they iron out all the kinks in their docsis 3.0 modem.

FWIW I'm online with my sb6120 I purchased at Fry's. Some are being told they must use the Cisco modems cox provides but I was told my sb6120 would work fine...

edit: to add, my friend who is supposedly in a docsis 3.0 capable area is getting about 28down/5up on speedtests, and his modem is reporting that it is NOT channel bonding at the moment.

So if I goto Fry's and buy the SB6120, and then call cox and say I want to provision my new modem and add the Plus to my Premier account are they going to try to charge me @29.99 install fee? I already called ealier and they said was available in my area so hope that is ture.

Yes they will because its in the early stages of D3 and they want to make sure all signal levels are withen like a 2db between each channel. So you will be paying a install fee.

Well to us yes, but to them no, So they want to come out hook up either your D3 modem or the one they will be supplying, and checking to make sure each channel is withen the range they like. Probably like %95 of the time there isn't gunna be a problem, and after cox has did this enough to know its not gunna be a problem.. then they will let people setup there own stuff, and not charge you. But for probably the first year of D3 from them, everyones gunna have to pay that install fee.

D3 isn't needed to offer those speeds. look at cablevision offering 38/5 speeds on D2 modems/cmts's.
-
A step in the right direction but for $20 more a month, the upload should be at least 3mbps[config cap, not via powerboost trickery]

The process for signing up is pretty weird. You order it and they schedule a manadtory pro install for it 3 days later. Those 3 days are given for 'their network team to determine if your area is capable of receiving the higher speeds.' At that point the tech (subcontractor) comes out and installs the cisco modem.

A network engineer called me on day 2 to let me know my area doesn't have the speeds yet, so I get a $20 credit this month. He also noted my area should be upgraded in the next week or 2.

Also, when I initially ordered it the salesperson just added it to my account and activated my modem which I heard he wasn't supposed to do, so I got a free tech install. This is brand new for everyone in Cox AZ so your mileage may vary... 2 of my other friends have had similar issues with ordering.

Hi.

The price list from Cox Arizona DOES show the ability to purchase the 3.0 modem for $99.99 but it does NOT specify the brand/model.

Just to clarify modem choice, I just finished talking to Cox Phoenix Metro Sales at 623 594 1000 and the gentleman I talked to confirmed that the modem Cox would provide for $99.99 was the Motorola SB6120, not that it matters...

Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M

If all you want to do is add the SB6120 to your account their will not be any additional fees. However if you want to get the Premier Plus tier then you will have to pay the install fees (You may also need to buy a DCP3000 as all of our information states that is the only modem that we will install for the DOCSIS 3 service tiers).

Now to a issue that we have discovered for those adding a SB6120 to their account. The default firmware out of the box has a issue that causes the modem to lock up every couple of hours. The latest firmware will fix that though. What I would recommend doing is once you have it hooked up go into the status pages at »192.168.100.1 and find the button to reset you modem. If you click on that link it should trigger the firmware download. The latest firmware that we have is SW_REV: SB6120-1.0.1.7-SCM00-NOSH if you reset it and don't see it show up within a hour or two PM either myself of CoxTECH1 with your MAC address and we can push it out to you.

Because the SB6120 are backwards compatible to 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 which means that their is not rely a reason not to approve them for use on the network.

Please note that I did not say that you would have to just that you may have to. Right now as far as we know the only modem that is approved for DOCSIS 3.0 is the DCP3000. It would be up to each market if they would allow you to use the SB6120 or not for 3.0 speeds. Please note that I am not saying that the SB6120's can't handle the 3.0 tier of service or may not be added at a later date. Just that right now all of our literature states that the only modem that we will use for DOCSIS 3.0 speeds are the DCP3000's. So my suggestion would be that if you are looking to upgrade to 3.0 speeds in the next few months and want to buy a SB6120 please call into your local system and make sure that the SB6120 is approved for DOCSIS 3.0 speeds. If you just ask if you can add one they are just going to say yes because they are on the approved list for our normal tiers of service. I would hate for you to buy one only to have the tech come out and tell you that you can't use it.

I just checked the Cox HSI speed offerings here- Premier (20 Mbps download w/Powerboost) is the highest that is shown. So, I assume the new tier hasn't gotten to this area, yet.

Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M

CoxToc1, well if they dont approve it withen a year for D3, im sorry to say but they will have a bunch of mad customers. But i see no reasoning behind them not approving it for use, seeing that it is Motorola modem, and can handle any speeds cox wants to throw at it.

But anyways I got my 6120 because it was at a good price, and i wanted to upgrade for on down the road when D3 is enabled, and Comcast lets it customers use the 6120 for there D3, so i see no real reason why it wont be approved for D3 withen 6 months.

I spoke to a Cox Tech manager and the SB6120 3.0 speeds are supported here in AZ, it was in thier powerpoint info from manager meeting about the new Plus service. So I just have to wait the 3 days for network guys to check the node and such and should be on the Premier Plus package. I post my impressions once I'm up and running.

-Big thanks to Matt for your help if you read this!

My SB6120 is not on the Plus package yet, but getting this on the old Premier package (on the 6120)... So should get some good speeds once its on the Plus:

discoDyahoocom

@cox.net

I have the Cox Premier Plus service, the modem I got was the Cisco modem-- they actually don't sell the Motorola one, although they DO support it if you buy it from Best Buy, etc.

Although they are only promising 2-2.5 Mb/s upload, I'm blowing that out of the water with closer to 5 Mb/s on AVERAGE. So YES, the upload speed is far greater than they promised, and kills anything DSL could offer. (I still loathe anything Qwest, since my days when they had a monopoly on "broadband" up in Utah. ugh).

The download speeds have been consistently in the 23 Mb/s download, with a peak of 33. I use speedtest.net to test my speeds--which is even what Cox uses for this product to test. The worst speed I saw on a test was 18 Mb.

Price is comparable to Qwest's highest, but with bundling, it only ends up being $20 more than premier or so?
overall, i'm pretty satisfied so far. plus, the modem has pretty blue lights, always a plus

I ordered a 6120 a few days ago and can't wait BUT I've heard of some heat probs and looked a little closer at the damn thing and it looks like a freaking waffle iron. Maybe I'd have been better off with the Cisco in the first place. Oh well, we can swap speed tests and other such prevarications. BTW you're the only poster who actually has the tier--congratulations!

Cool. Will those of us that already pay for the top tier get a free trial?

I ask, because, a couple months back, I got a call from Cox offering a trial upgrade to premium from the mid-tier. When I asked the rep if, because I already had premium, that meant I could get a trial of the mid-tier pricing, she hung up on me. =)

Please remember I can only tell you what is going on right now based on the information that has been given to us. And unfortunately sometimes I am the last to know about something. Like I have been saying right now all the documentation that has been given to us is that the DCP3000 is the only modem authorized for the DOCSIS 3.0 tiers of service. That could change in the future (and more than likely will) but when that will happen I do not know. All I am advising is that you be careful in your purchases and contact your local system and see if they will let you use it for the DOCSIS 3.0 tiers. I would rely hate to see a bunch of upset customers who bought a SB6120 only to be told later that they can't use it.

CoxToc1, Well it doesnt matter for us anyways since D3 aint in are area yet, and probably wont be for 6 months to a year from now anyways. So when that time comes here, Im pretty sure that 6120 modem will have been tested plenty by Cox, Hell i know they have tested it already, maybe they are shying away from it because of the early problems it was having, but the new firmware fixed that issue, and just goes to show there is nothing wrong with the modem itself, just a bad firmware release on it early models.

Btw I have done bought mine, and hell when the time comes for D3 here, if I cant use my 6120 modem, then cox better be willing to offer there D3 modem for a good price, Because hell there the ones to put the 6120 on the support list knowing it was one of the only D3 modems on that list and had no kind of info regarding it couldnt be used for D3, being it was a D3 modem.

Yes, I understand being in the VA office this info may not apply, but since the title of this post is "[AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M" I am just speaking for what they told me here locally in the AZ office, anywhere else I have no clue, and as you have stated you should call your local # and ask them first.

Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M

Agreeed that this is a terrible deal...im a power user and I've been with cox since the late 90s and everytime theres been a chance to upgrade to a higher speed, it was no brainer, whatever the cost was.....this is the first time ive decided not to upgraded....i don't know what they were thinking on this one...

Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M

what cox should do is upgrade all premiere and preferred to dos 3.0 speeds. they want to see how little we will tolerate. since we have no reason to need or want these speeds. (sarcasm) i'm currently getting 2.5 upload now. would love to see say 10.0 megs upload (hint, hint)

alright rob. we get it. you want a new ipg and a high upload speed. however, i look at it like this (and please correct me if i'm wrong, but given your history posting, i'd tend to think i'm closer to right than wrong)...

cox offers a true d3 "platinum" package in your area. its $140/month plus taxes. we will either (a) hear you b!tch incessantly about how expensive the package is or (b) complain about fios *still* offering higher upload speeds....

my previous statement stands...if you complain about enough things all the time, people won't listen when you do have a valid concern....

Does anybody know if you get lower trace routes & ping with docsis 3.0?

@cox.net

I just ordered this service and hopefully if everything goes smoothly I should have it installed on Tuesday, May 9th. I'm wondering if Cox is pushing for D3 modems as a way to generate more money because of the economy. Per specifications my SB5101 is capable of 38 mbps down (and 30 up I believe). So the Cisco and D3 seems unneeded.

I will post REAL speed results once installed, and not just power boost speeds!

Q. What DOCSIS 3.0 modems does Cox support?
A. Currently, the Cisco DPC 3000 and the Motorola SB 6120 are approved for use on the Cox network. Customers can purchase the Cisco model directly from Cox for $99.99 or a Motorola 6120 at a retail outlet.

The Motorola CB 6120 is approved and will work with all tiers of CHSI including Premier Plus.

Let me know if you have any more questions and I’d be happy to help!

Thanks!

Yes, please post sustained speeds. All of this hype about "I already get 30 megs down its not worth it." is not useful if that is only powerboosting for silly 200meg demos or game patches, we want to know what this connection can really do over hours downloading/uploading tens of gigs at a time. Thanks.

I for one find it belittling that we have the capacity for more HD, more speed at a lower rate yet it JUST IS NOT offered.

Yah yah Capitalism.. Well say hello to my new growing friend regulation and socialism.
