Cox Business Internet

[Michael Butash]

Residential and Business *are* the same infrastructure when it comes to 
Cox HFC.  The only thing that differentiates a business customer from 
residential is the boot file pushed to the modem at boot, the speed set 
up/down, and ip/port access list allowed through.  Of course your bill 
too, nice little racket they have going to sell perceived value as 
*business* service is somehow really better...

I wouldn't plan on google coming to you unless you're moving to some 
swank new subburb of ticky tacky little boxes, but cox can provide 
enough bandwidth over hfc you shouldn't care.  Thus why they reclaimed 
more of their OTA (over coax rather) spectrum of free/unencrypted 
channels so they can resell it for data services bonding up to 32 
channels @ ~42mbit ea or 1.4gbit max.

Best thing about fiber is that glass (in theory) is less prone to 
dysfunction than copper @ 140 degree surface ground temps.  Less having 
to have the provider re-terminate your copper every few years here...
