Does Cox offer a good TV bundle?

Ari Howard Last updated: August 26, 2021

Bundling with Cox certainly isn’t cheap, considering starting prices are above $100/mo. However, its packages have good value. When you bundle with Cox, you are able to get some of the best bundle discounts out of any provider and you will get fast speeds and a high channel count with any package you choose.

The best Cox bundles

*Pricing per month plus taxes for length of contract. Additional fees and terms may apply. Pricing varies by location and availability. All prices subject to change at any time. May or may not be available based on service address. Last updated 07/16/21.

Additional Cox bundles plans and prices available 

Although the three plans listed above are the three plans we would recommend for most households, there are several other Cox plans available that may better suit your needs. If you are looking for a plan that offers the highest channel count possible, for instance, you will want to go with one of the more expensive Cox bundle plans listed below.

Some of the most popular Cox bundles are the basic internet and cable TV double play, the internet with Gigablast and cable TV double play, the traditional triple play with internet, TV and voice service or the total package quad-play, which includes internet, TV and voice plus Cox Homelife for an extra layer of protection.

What’s the difference between Cox Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum bundles?

Cox plan names can be a bit confusing since there are multiple packages named Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. However, what you get with each Cox package increases from Bronze to Platinum. Cox Gold and Platinum packages include more channels and faster speeds for a higher monthly price. Cox Bronze and Silver bundles are typically lower-priced, but will have either slower internet speeds or fewer channels than Gold or Platinum bundles. 

The names Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum don’t have a direct relation to a particular internet speed or TV package. For example, if you look in the pricing tables directly above, a Silver bundle can include speeds up to 500 Mbps or up to 940 Mbps, depending on the plan. Basically what the labels indicate is how that bundle positions in comparison to the other bundles available.

What each service in a Cox bundle offers 

With Cox, you can bundle internet, TV, phone and Homelife together to maximize savings. Here’s a brief overview of each service. 

• Internet

  Speeds: 10 to 940 Mbps 

  Cox offers a wide range of internet plans, making it easy to get the speeds you need. However, since Cox primarily only offers cable internet, its prices are not as cost-efficient as providers that offer fiber optic for their cheaper plans.  

• TV

  Channels: 140+ to 250+ 

  Cox offers better deals for cable TV plans than it does with its internet plans. Bundling with Cox is best for TV lovers as any internet and TV bundle above the Bronze Duo includes select premium channels for free. 

• Voice

  Number of features: 20+

  Cox’s home phone allows you to answer home phone calls on your smartphone, block robocalls, see who is calling with Caller ID and more. When you bundle Cox Voice with Cox internet and TV, you also get unlimited calling to 30+ countries. 

• Homelife

  Packages: Smart Home or Smart Home + Security 

  Bundles with internet, TV and home phone are known as “triple play” bundles, but Cox has another option that most cable providers don’t have – a quad-play. A quad-play bundle with Cox can include all the typical home services, plus Cox Homelife to automate and secure your home.

Cox internet and TV equipment 

Internet equipment – Rent Cox’s 2-in-1 modem and router or buy your own compatible equipment.

After you choose your Cox bundle plan, you will also need to choose a modem and router in order to hook your high-speed internet up to Wi-Fi. Although purchasing your own modem and router from a non-Cox vendor is a good option for saving money, you will likely forfeit customer assistance from Cox. 

To ensure you have someone to call if you ever have issues with your internet or Wi-Fi, you will want to rent the Cox Panoramic Wifi Gateway router. This device is a 2-in-1 modem and router that automatically chooses the best Wi-Fi frequencies for searching, streaming and sharing. The device can also be controlled remotely through the Cox Panoramic Wifi App. Through the app, you can monitor who is using your Wi-Fi, pause devices and set Wi-Fi rules. 

Panoramic Wifi Gateway router: $10.99/mo.

TV equipment – Access channels with a TV receiver and record shows with a DVR.

You will also want to rent a receiver to access the channels you purchased. Note that you will need to rent a receiver for each TV in your home. There are two options for a receiver:

• Mini Box: $3.99/mo. per TV
• Contour HD receiver: $10/mo.

Which one should you choose? The benefit of the Contour HD Receiver is that it gives you access to all your channels, apps and more in one place. The Mini Box only allows you to access a limited set of basic channels.  

Additionally, if you own a compatible 4K TV, then you can also rent Cox’s Wireless 4K Contour Stream Player. The 4K Contour stream player allows you to stream 4K content through the Netflix and YouTube apps. 

• Wireless 4K Contour Stream Player: $5/mo. 

If you want to be able to record shows, you will also want to rent a DVR. Cox gives you the option to rent a DVR that allows you to record two, six or twenty-four shows at a time. 

• Record 2-HD DVR: $12.99/mo.
• Record 6-HD DVR: $19.99/mo.
• Record 24-HD DVR: $29.99/mo.

Cox bundles vs. other providers

Cox’s least expensive bundle, the Bronze Duo, is a fairly good deal for TV lovers as it provides a higher number of channels compared to most providers. For those looking for more cost-efficient bundle deals or better internet bundle deals, AT&T or Verizon may be a better choice.
