I Have had COX internet service for over 4 years now. I had the back
when they offered Cable download and phone upload, and I HAVE NO
COMPLAINTS.... I hade the service on Frank Llyodd Wright and 92nd St, as
well as Via Linda and Shea, and now at 92nd and Shea. I have had the
same IP for over 2 years, and my speeds vary on the server I am
accessing. If I dl from Oracle now (10:30PM) and again tommorrow at say
noon yes it is slower, that is NOT a cox issue.I have the same
upload/download speeds according to most speed test servers all day and
al night. I live in a condo complex, and I have a weak signal. I dl at
3mbs all day long if the servers can provide it, and my up is roughly
128kbps or better. I also have a web server up and running utilizing
port 9999 and a ssh server at port 21 or 22. I have uploaded and
downloaded many large files, and I have never had an issue with Cox. I
have a Fiber line less than 100 feet away from me. I would say that at
AZ51 and Shea you alos have Fiber close. I would not hesitate to get
Cox, under any circumstance, unless of course you move to the central
areas of the cities.. Those are the oldest, and have only cat 3 on the
phone lines, and Cable I am unsure of. Last I knew Cox was upgrading the
whole area, and this part was one of the last areas. That was 3 years ago.
