| Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana
Cox rolled out DOCSIS 3.0 technology in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana this week with the launch of our Ultimate high-speed Internet service. Cox's Ultimate Internet offers downloads up to 50 Mbps and uploads up to 5 Mbps.
We plan to offer DOCSIS 3.0 technology to several markets by the end of this year, and it's expected to be available to more than two-thirds of our footprint by the end of 2010. No other market launches have been announced at this time, but testing is underway and we’ll have more news soon! |

Wish the Baton Rouge market would have been part of this 
I wonder if they are going to compete with the fiber system in Gonzales, LA. But that one has been around for a while, so maybe not.
I am still jealous of the fiber system though...
10 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$28.95
30 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$44.95
50 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$57.95
That's just sick! Then combine that with every customer is 100Mbps to other fiber customers.

2 edits | Available as a pro install only (Install is a one time 99.95 charge) and the monthly price is 139.99. However the
Louisiana market has a introductory price of only 89.99.
Some things to note are:
You get 3 ip addresses
At this time their are *NO* transfer caps on this level of service.
For those curious about what type of modem you get it's a Cisco DPC3000.
These modems are not yet widely available in retail outlets; however, Cox is selling them in our retail locations for $99.99.
Yes powerboost is available on this tier of service.

Standard pricing for Cox Ultimate Internet is $139.99/month, but as with all our packages, pricing is set locally, so customers in Lafayette Parish can get lower introductory prices ($89.99/month) when they call to sign up for the service. |

Do we have a better definition than "several" additional markets? |

WOW...rolled out faster than I heard it would...
all I know is, the recent changes have my premier tier connection running more consistent and with faster page loading...hardly notice that annoying glitch anymore and I finally see 3 Mb or better downloads... 
thanks again to all you cox tech guys for your assistance with my connection issues in the past |

You should be able to call into your local sales and see if it's offered in your area. |

What ports (if any) are blocked with this service by Cox? |

| Due to the number of official Cox Posts on this issue - I'm assuming it is not an April Fools joke (what a day to announce). Though the new info is not reflected on the local Cox Site
