Does Cox have their network upgraded TODAY?

The last two replies I appreciate, because they are both very good points. Yes cable CAN go faster, but most current systems aren't making the necessary modifications to do so. Even though they can fit more channels, very few if any do so currently.

And thats my problem with Cox. Did they actually config their network to handle customers @ 15mbps or did they just raise the caps and now will let everything go to sh*t.

Capping bandwidth at 15mbps is no problem. Delivering and actual 15mbps reliably over a real customer base IS.

Sorry for the rant, its just that Charter had enough problems providing 3mbps/256kbps to me reliably. I can only imagine what would happen if they allowed 15/2

They upgraded the NOVA cable system to DOCSIS 2.0, so yes they can give their customers that bandwidth.

I Fairfax County, they've spent the past 5 years replacing all the trunk lines with fibre. Why? Because, if they didn't, they'd not be able to sell broadband, at all, here. There's just way too many other alternatives in Northern Virginia.
