Cox Business Internet

[Keith Smith]

When I switched to Business a tech came out (I think he was a 
contractor) and checked some levels.  He explained it but I have since 
forgotten what he said.  I recall being close to the limit of not 
qualifying.  But is was good enough.  My house was not wired for cox and 
there was no port.  They had to run it new when I moved in, in 2010.  
There are six houses on the box I connect to and there was only 5 ports. 
  I was the last to connect.....
