| a response the (above) really makes me feel warm inside.. i too started with @home cruzin at around 512kbps/128 and can say that the dropping of @home was probably the greatest thing that ever happened to this company. because in my area it seemed that in the process of upgrading we were required to change the wonderful static ip settings almost monthy...
then cox enterprizes took full affect:
-no more: leasing IP addresses, no more static ips,
-full dhcp is awesome.
-I run at premiere and find myself cruzing the speakeasy speed test at 24-25mbps on average. but i have noticed a marked difference when i am on the phone since the phone line for COX Phone runs through my awesome little EMTA Modem with the rest of my home network.
-oh and its 5.50 to rent a reciever, Cox no longer rents modems because as you said they now only cost like 50 bux. so if you are renting... STOP!
-latency? i cant say that i've noticed any real problems. I host servers up to 16 players for halo all the time, no problems and my machines play wow beautifully. your latency most likely a result of carrier noise in the return loop. i suspect the neighborhood you live in is part of an older system or at least you may be farther away from the SDC (or where eevr you Main tele. center is) than other people. if the problem gets worse call them. these problems can abound from ingress/egress, in an older and weathered drop to the house or perhaps a failing or backed up node for your neighborhood.
-The TV is great: full 1080 hd channels that actually have HD on all the time instead of during peak hours like satellite: only thing is lock up your DVR because aparently Motorolla cannot keep up with the demand for boxes and the service centers have them on backorder ;(
-our main competition in this area is verizon but i really dont know how they intend to stay with it being that we are adding like 15 new HD channels this spring and they cant afford to put their fiber in the gound much less train their people on how to do it without cutting under ground Cox lines (gooooooo verizon....) im reading that they are selling off a lot of their North east systems to put some money in the bank.
... who knows what the future holds... | |

| yea yea but no that its fixed im loveing it, also i still gave VZ a high score of 3.8 even after all the problems because they fixed what was wrong and gave me a hell of a deal that no company can match. $140 a month is all i pay for phone internet and tv whith hbo starz and cinamax for the next 2 years so get owned cox. i bet no other company would do that thanks VZ im loveing your service. | |

1 edit | yea but VZ is better, also i have 20/5 internet that's alway's fast whith no gay cap limt. I use to have comcast and there's no comparison better picture faster internet free long distance phone and a battery back up just in case you loose power. To put to you like this FIOS RULES AND IS CHEAPER FOR ME. I had alot of problem 's at first but now im problem free and loving FIOS my thought's a couple months ago were different only because they took forever to fix my problem but my problem's
are gone and im happy now. | |

| yes it dose and thats why it score's the highest score on this site, why billing can be a nightmare once fixed you can start to appreciate VZ for A competing against cable B giveing you better quality for less C theres nothing like fios quality and all the problem's i've had they fixed took'em awhile but there fixed and they gave me a $60 discount for the rest of my two year contract, if i had to review VZ FIOS again i give a perfect score i couldnt be happier whith the deal i got. | |

1 edit | emmm my ping's legit you can check it on this website, it shouldn't be hard for you to believe. and im not trolling cox im just trying to see how you dummies think it's better then fios, it's not and stop whith the gay post about my review because im changing it to all 100 because im very happy now and nobody running cable would even think of comparing cable to fios but you do and you need to tell people outside of billing its the best quality service you have ever had the end. | |
