RG-59 is still used, but it is not a good thing for Hi Speed cable, digital and HDTV. To much resistance from what I understand, which increases signal loss. RG-6 is the "minimum" requirement for Hi Speed internet and digital/HDTV. Cox uses RG-6 and fiber optics beyond that. I am not sure what part of town the "problem" are still in, but there was a period of time that the areas of town with overhead lines and real old burried lines were suffering the most. When Cox rid itself of @home, they tried to change from Cisco Routers to Juniper. After several weeks of issues, they went back to Cisco. The only issues I am aware of now are the old wires which are being repaired until they can be replaced with fiber.

I'm pretty sure they use RG 6, that's what I have in my house. Then
again, I did that myself. When I went for their "Quick-Connect" kit it
had some RG 6 in it. Maybe they use RG 59 in some parts of town just
for inconsistency's sake.
