Cox Business Internet

[Keith Smith]

I had consumer Cox for maybe 8 years.  I would occasionally experience 
some downtime.  I moved to Cox Business maybe 4 years ago.  Less down 
time.  I work out of my house so the network did not changes, or maybe 
the immediate network did not change.  I am able to run a server, which 
I do not... but did for a short time... Long Story....

Speed is ok.  Occasionally things will slow.  Who knows why?

I cannot tell you if there is any downtime in the middle of the night.

Maybe I'll move back to consumer.
