They have capped new gigablast subscribers with the 1tb limit unfortunately.<br>
If you had it prior to late Sept, then you continue to get the unlimited data.<br>

I am using Cox Communications "Ultimate" package. 300 Mbps download, 30<br>
Mbps upload, with measured values usually 5 to 10 percent above those<br>
values. Also I get 1 Tbyte usage per month. the price is $100 per month.<br>
I am very pleased with this service.<br>

let me dig up the sales number for cox business.<br>
<br>
I couldn't find the phone number directly, but there is this site here:<br>
<a href="https://www.cox.com/business/contact-us/contact-sales.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cox.com/business/c<wbr>ontact-us/contact-sales.html</a><br>
<br>
I just called them through their residential number. they gave me this<br></div>
number for direct contact: <a href="tel:800-529-5118" value="+18005295118" target="_blank">800-529-5118</a> <(800)%20529-5118><div class="m_-3108040873900483393elided-text"><br>
<br>
<br>
hope this helps.<br>
<br>
btw, I am on cox business premier service. it's 50 mbits/11 mbits for only<br>
$79 monthly. I also use chrome cast here from youtube tv for about $35 a<br>
month. so, I am definitely spending over $140 less than I would be for<br>
residential service (including tv).<br>
<br>
hope this helps.<br>

you might have to call cox business and speak to Jame Hidalgo. He is my<br>
contact over there. btw, business class internet doesn't suffer from the<br>
hard cap that you got charged for this last time out. they might even have<br>
access to the fiber that you want.<br>
<br>
now, sure, most of the tier 1 droids at residential customer service are<br>
good people. However, anyone who has ever worked a CSr desk knows that they<br>
all have to run from a script.<br>

anyway, if you call Jame Hidalgo at cox business, please tell him who<br>
referred you.<br>

The only major development was Cox billing me for going over 1TB a<br>

Friends in Auhtukee and Glendale have it, and are quite happy with it.<br>

Anyone using this service? It looks like it finally arrived in our<br>
neighborhood. I'd prefer to try Google Fiber, but that seems to be<br>
dead in the valley since their competitors complained about the deals<br>
they were able to make with the cities. So tempted to upgrade to this.<br>
