Cox offers hybrid cable and fiber internet plans starting at $50.00/mo. with speeds from 300 to 2,000 Mbps. Cable internet is one of the most widely available internet types behind satellite and delivers competitive download speeds that can support most household internet activities. Fiber can offer symmetrical upload and download speeds, but that is not the case for Cox.

Although most of Cox’s services are powered by a cable/fiber hybrid system, some address may still only have DSL access, so check your address before you decide on the provider. 
For a fee, Cox provides an HD Contour Box or a Wireless 4K Contour Box, as well as several DVR service options.

In 2024, Cox’s customer service rating improved by four points, for a score of 68/100, placing it in the top four, below T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.

Cox bundles

Cox Communications allows customers to bundle TV and internet services, but other than consolidating bills, combining plans does not yield savings. A perk for Cox customers is to bundle their mobile phone plans with internet, starting at $15/mo. for gig pay-as-you-go plans.
