Cox Marketing

Wow, Cox sure doesn't understand marketing in Lafayette.
Lafayette offers the following tiers.
10/10 - $30
30/30 - $45
50/50 - $60

Cox offers:
50/5 - $90

Tell me, which one is the better deal? I'd say ANY of the Lafayette options are. Just completely ignoring the download speed, any of Lafayette's upload speeds are double or better Cox's offerings. Even the closest apples to apples comparison, Cox is still $30 higher than the competition. That's a big difference I think.

Well, Cox has to recoup the money they spent on lawyers who tried for years to crush the Lafayette fiber project (which citizens VOTED FOR) with lawsuits, push polls, and disinformation.

Haha that sounds like a typical ad during election season.

Those costs were a drop in the bucket and would have nothing to do with the service fees they are charging now.

It was a joke. They probably recouped those costs in six months. Push pollsters are fairly cheap.

Should have put a smiley on post then. And the costs were probably recouped in 6 hours and not 6 months.

cox understands it plenty well. lus fiber in lafayette has yet to deploy fiber city-wide. it will take them almost another year or so (if not more) to have fiber in their entire desired footprint.
as it stands now, if people want the high speeds but aren't served by ftth - they have to go to cox.

And that $90 is only first year. what does it shoot up to after the intro expires?
