I've been using their Business service for about 3 years, 0 complaints. A few minor short outages, but they are always quick to resolve. My plans are to continue as their customer. My modem is older, but since I have their 2 Meg line I don't care what version it is..yet.

Currently I have an Internet connection that is shared with up to 349 others with a max of up to 20mb/sec down. Not sure what up is, might be 2mb/sec. I have a consumer phone line and distinct ringing for my fax. It comes with a dynamic IP. Lease might be almost forever though. I can move to the basic business plan with a static IP, free long distance vs. 5 cents a minute, and a number of other features that I would have to pay extra for on the consumer line. Cox says the "modem" is a docsis 3.0 and is free. Installation is free also. A tech will have to come to my house to switch me from consumer to business. Cox also says they will give me a credit on my first bill of $201.00, that is the equivalent of 2 months of Internet and phone for free. All I have to pay is the taxes, which they say will be the same as on my consumer plan. The Internet connection is not shared with anyone else, and I would be getting 12m down and 2 up. The TOS allows me to run a server or servers... to include a mail server. This move will require a 36 month contract. I was wondering if anyone is using the business Internet with Cox and if you have had any problems and if you are running a server without any real issues. Any other insight is much welcome!
