Back in May Cox Communications tried to jump on the 1 Gbps excitement bandwagon by announcing they would offer 1 Gbps service to all users -- in a few years or more. As part of that announcement Cox announced something more immediate: a bump in Preferred & Premier tier speeds to 50Mbs & 100Mbs respectively. Those upgrades started back in July on a market by market basis, with parts of Nebraska, Arizona, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Nevada already seeing the bump.
An assumed insider
posting to our forums offers up what appears to be a leaked schedule of looming upgrades for other markets. If the schedule is accurate, users in New Orleans, parts of Virginia, and Pensacola can look forward to upgrades in September, with Cleveland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and additional chunks of California slated for October. The purported schedule:
