Not here in virginia either, Must be new. I do know cox has been looking to do this for awhile, and seeing as Comcast has done this also, I'm not surprised cox has follow in there footsteps.
I'm sure this will be slowly rolled out in all there markets, and your market must be one of the first. Thanks for the heads up. Probably be some news regarding this from cox soon, since you have brought this to our attention. |

Re: Bandwidth Usage MeterSo you used 74GB of your allotted 250GB, That's only 30%... So can you just pay for 30% of your HSI bill??? LOL That would be great. |

Seems fair to have to offer this if they are going to impose caps - regardless of if they are soft or not. |

Well most likely cox will start using caps to there advanage, as more area's have this feature added. I can say cox is better then comcast. Because all there residential accounts have 250gb max cap, atleast every tier of service from cox has its own caps, and if you can't stay withen them caps, Its time to move up to a business tier of service. |

Well goodluck with that, if you want decent speeds. |

Don't see it in Oklahoma City area yet. I've been running DU Meter since 2007 so it will be interesting to see what Cox thinks my bandwidth use is vs DU Meter's measurement. |

I'm curious to know what I'm using now.. there are free softwares that exist to tell you the usage of a single computer. additionally, if you have a third party firmware compatible router, there are software packages that will poll the device using snmp to obtain usage. q. |

I live in West Pensacola and cannot get it where I live, yet my grandparents 5 miles away, also in West Pensacola, is able to get it. Its not in all of northwest Florida, only in select neighborhoods. |

Thanks for the clarification. |

Yea,, he can get it (or so I thought). I'm not in PCOLA. That sucks you can't. If we (gulfcoast) get chewed by TWC, I'm going to scream. Yea, it's centurybleh.. and they are buying out QUEST?? Does this mean maybe Verizon can buy them out totally so we can get FIOS here??? (I know, not happening) The gulfcoast is served by AT&T and Centurylink.. why? I don't know. EDIT: and yet..we are the first market to see this, I'm at 120 for the month.. it's amazing what Skype does and watching videos does. » Cox Starts Rolling Out Usage Monitor [16] commentsI'm not a BW hog but, we are trying to get some paranormal teams to here so we can visit the lighthouse and possibly bring tourism to the area if a show on Travel Channel called Ghost Adventures comes here. Would be awesome. |

They are all large providers in this area as well. |

said by Rob_:True.. and Knology and Comcast serves Mobile/Panama City also. Yep. Cox isn't the only one in the game in this area. I'm very happy with my service with Cox. The cable set top boxes could be improved and VoIP cheaper, but overall, it's great. |

I'm kinda glad for this because I had my wifi spot open and this is the result: I skype, tweet, upload backups, and watch videos. I doubt what I do equals to what i got here. (now, it's encrypted) -Rob |

said by Rob_:upload backups, and watch videos if you're uploading backups or shows and you watch a lot of flash video -- this is understandable. as i see it, you're looking at cumulative data -- upload *and* download. 151gb is very reasonable for that depending on your usage. I had my wifi spot open
though this is really inexcusable. q. |

I noticed the meter doesn't update every day. I sometimes I don't see an update for 2 days, then its all there. |

I am wondering if they will be doing this nation wide? |

Says unavailable at this time. Still new to Neflix and taking some time off currently. Interested to see if Cox meter matches the usage said in my router. Come January will go way down as back to no extra time anymore. |
