| 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.

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. | |

1 edit | Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M * 64KB window size of TCP header is really too old, it is obsolete and it should be discontinue of use for long distance of internet wide area network unless if you need full of 64KB window size for LAN use only that can ramps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.

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.

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...

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

2 edits | said by ajwees41  :why are the motorola's on the approved list then when Cox will only install the DCP3000 for Docsis 3.0 tiers? 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. | |

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 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  | |

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. | |

| 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 Id 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.
