• High Speed Internet Plan

• Affordable Prices

High Speed Internet Plan

One of the most important features of internet service is the download and upload speed. Cox Internet provides excellent speeds to its customers. It offers five internet speed options for customers to choose from. Those Cox internet plan options include the following:

• Cox Internet Starter 10 — $29.99 per month, 10 Mbps
• Cox Internet Essential 30 — $39.99 per month, 30 Mbps
• Cox Internet Preferred 150 — $59.99 per month, 150 Mbps
• Cox Internet Ultimate — $79.99 per month, 300 Mbps
• Gigablast -$99.99 per month, 940 Mbps

What might jump out to you is the high-speed access on the upper end. Cox internet service offers some impressive download speeds, a high speed internet connection, and a quality gigabit ethernet plan.

Bundling Options

Most cable modem providers give you the option to bundle cable TV and internet, and so does Cox. But unlike the competition, Cox service has nine ways to bundle:

• Bronze Bundle — $89.99 per month, 140+ channels, 150 mbps, phone
• Silver Bundle — $109.99 per month, 140+ channels, 300 Mbps, phone
• Silver Bundle — $129.99 per month, 170+ channels, 940 Mbps, phone
• Gold Bundle — $129.00 per month, 250+ channels, 300 Mbps, phone
• Platinum Bundle — $159.99 per month, 250+ channels, 940 Mbps, phone
• $64.99 per month, 75+ channels, 10 Mbps, phone
• $74.99 per month, 75+ channels, 30 Mbps, phone
• $94.99 per month, 75+ channels, 150 Mbps, phone
• $137.48 per month, 140+ channels, 30 Mbps, phone

You can see more details on Cox's website and customize your plans to include phone service and Cox home security.

Most of these bundled services have a two-year contract.

Affordable Prices

Cox's internet package prices are competitive for the industry and are lower than some of its competitors' prices.

The ISP also provides residential customers with a lower-speed option (the Essential package) if you don't need as much power behind your internet usage. The prices stated above do not include taxes, modem or wi fi router rental fees, or the $10 per month surcharge for a month-to-month contract instead of a one year contract.

New customers can also receive a discounted price for the first 12 months.

These prices are not exceptionally high and are even low compared to some of their competitors' prices. This is especially true for the higher packages. Some other internet service providers charge almost double for that high of a speed.

• Data Limits
• No-Contract Fee

Data Limits

Cox gives all its customers a data cap of 1 TB per month. As far as data caps go, 1 TB is common in the industry and provides users with plenty of data.

Customers who surpass their data limit will be charged an additional $10 per up to 50 GB excess data used.

This can be an issue for customers if they want the speed that is associated with a certain package but need more than its allotted amount of data. Not all ISPs put caps on data usage, and unlimited data plans are growing in popularity, so this does put Cox at a disadvantage.

No-Contract Fee

Most service providers will require you to sign at least a 12-month contract, and Cox is no different unless you're willing to pay more. Cox charges $10 per month if you want to forego a contract.

However, some internet providers offer month-to-month plans with no added fees, so if you're not sure if you'll stay in one place or stick with Cox, you might be more interested in working with another company.
