Cox Fiber
July 29, 2025 We have been with Cox as our Internet provider for about 10 years now. We got the fiber Internet in summer 2024. The fiber Internet has worked out very well for us right now. We only pay about $70 per month right now. I just got a phone call from Cox. On my next bill they’re going to be lowering my monthly bill, keeping my monthly rate at the same rate for the next three years, and giving me greater Internet speeds. Needless to say, I am very happy with Cox. We have had very few outages. And the outages we have had had less to do with Cox and more to do with the type of Internet towers that we have in our home, which are not provided by Cox. We do have two towers now one upstairs and downstairs, which provides Internet coverage for four people with 11 different devices with great reliable Internet coverage.
