Re: [CA] Upgrades SoCal?

That was not a typo, Ultimate will be at 100, NOT 150.

Apologies, but I can't really speak to the specifics.

I will say that our Engineering groups over the past 6 months have been (and continue to be) putting in what I would consider to be a Herculean effort, and that you can’t always do everything you want to do at exactly the same time.

Just a bit over 3 weeks...Believe me, I'm at least as excited (and anxious) as anyone here over getting the new speeds!

Wow, wow, and more wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I am really disappointed that we have waited almost 9 months since the first speed upgrades have occurred (while paying the same rates) and now finding out WE STILL won't be getting the same speeds as just about everyone else.

SoCal gets the proverbial shaft once again

I'm guessing that we aren't getting 100megs because not all of the infrastructure is in place to support 150/188 in all neighborhoods.

100megs and 20 up isn't anything to laugh at, however if Premier is getting 50/10, then I believe I'll be downgrading soon.

Well, I just got an email from Cox this morning about the upcoming (though slower/less than expected) upgrades. They said:

------------------------------------------
WE'RE MAKING FAST EVEN FASTER.

In the spirit of providing you the best service possible, we'll be upgrading your Cox High Speed Internet so it's faster than ever before - with top speeds up to 100 Mbps! In just a few short weeks, this automatic speed increase will power all of your devices so you can stream HD videos, download music, upload photos and more...even faster.

JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX, SO YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR EVEN FASTER COX HIGH SPEED INTERNET."

------------------------------------------

While I am very happy to finally get a little love from Cox, I still have to say that the length of time it has taken to do this and the slower-than-expected new speeds that the huge Southern California market is getting is simply unsatisfactory. If Cox thinks this is considered OK to give the SoCal market slower speeds than virtually all their other markets for the same price, they are wrong. This is incredibly bad PR for Cox and creates the perception that Cox does not value the huge and highly profitable customer base in this market. I would hope this is not the case and that Cox will make this right and treat our market much better than this very, very soon.

The bottom line for me is I will be downgrading my Cox home internet tier from Ultimate down one or two levels to save money and we will use our new blazing fast wireless LTE devices (on an unlimited plan with a full signal at my house, I might add) much more as a result.

I hope Cox's management is reading this because this is a highly competitive market and, in my opinion, so far Cox has failed.

So I just got this email as well and I'm a bit confused. I'm on the Premium Account I believe (25mbps upload). Am I now being upgraded for free to a 100Mbps speed?

ummmmmmmmm

Any official word if business accounts will get the same speed increases? I have 50/5 at work. A 20Mbit upload would be great for my cloud backups.

If you have 50/5 right now which is Ultimate, it will increase to 100 / 20

I believe there will be a $6 increase on your monthly bill starting next month for your internet service. It was posted a month ago... the increase is for all customers in all Cox markets.

That would be awesome. I'd be glad to hear that the SoCal market is subsidizing the higher speeds in all the other Cox markets. Thanks Cox.

If I read Joshua post at the top of this page he said on Sept 23rd that they should start in a bit over 3 weeks so that would make the rollouts somewhere starting the 15th or 23rd of this month.

They usually happen on a Tuesday.

So far, Florida hasn't gotten that letter, also

Dude I just got the pop-up too. That's disturbing. Hijacking a webpage is uncalled for.

100Mb down will be a nice upgrade for those of us on Ultimate, but 150Mbp+ like the rest of their markets would be MUCH better. Is there an engineering plan to get us to the full 150Mbps speed anytime soon or does Cox plan to just let our market fall behind the rest of their network in capability?

Any Cox employee here in this forum know? JoshuaCA?

I agree with Waitn. I too would like to know if they plan on upgrading it to 150Mbps+ just like the rest of the markets.
