Chandler, AZ | will not see 50meg until cox is 2nd place again... of course they won't. this is strictly to get a leg up on qwest who offers only 20meg fiber-fed adsl2+ to a select number of customers in the phoenix-metro area. until cox unveiled this new plan, qwest technically had "the fastest game in town" (powerboost and adsl2+ overhead not withstanding).
if you look at the two areas that have d3 speeds, they are both 50meg packages and are directly facing high-speed ftth competition via lus-fiber or fios. this is just another fact of life when dealing with the major player oligopoly facing customers today. the few dictate what goes where.
notice i did not say anything about what i *feel* the price should be. make it the same as those other areas; i don't feel cox should be *giving* the d3 service away - but they should make it available to those who wish to partake. i believe that arizona (especially phoenix) is cox's largest market in the entire footprint. there is a high concentration of it professionals that live in this area. you may be shooting yourself in the foot by not offering it, unless the whole goal of pushing this tier is to only get a (really small) leg up on the competition and then to become complacent with what is out there.

cox az cap on premiere is 17500 / 1750 and if you're not on a loaded node, you get that. now with qwest its 17000/750[UNDER OPTIMAL CONDITIONS] assuming you are in a hood where its available.
-
last time i checked, 17500 is higher than 17000 so qwest was never higher than cox before this latest announcement.

per the following link --> »ww2.cox.com/residential/arizona/···rnet.cox
it states that the premier internet is capped in phoenix at 15/1.5. granted, cox has a higher upload than qwest, but thats never advertised. even if you factor in the typical 15-17% of overhead from qwest at 20meg, you are still looking at 16.6-17meg.
last time *i* checked, 17 is higher than 15.
