What it shows on the page for services and offers is 1024gb.
Could be a typo,<br>
but the offer details page also said all plans offer 1024gb
data. Will find<br>
out when I call. :) Would be nice if it was 2t, that would
mean I could drop<br>
the $30 I pay for the extra 500gb cushion each month, and
basically pay what<br>
I'm paying now to get gigablast. I do think I remember
seeing something at<br>
one point where it was 2t, but that was a while ago.<br>

They have capped new gigablast subscribers with the 1tb

If you had it prior to late Sept, then you continue to get
the unlimited<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>
number for direct contact: <a href="tel:800-529-5118" value="+18005295118" target="_blank">800-529-5118</a>
<(800)%20529-5118><br>
<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>
