Why choose Cox internet?
Cox internet plans are available in 18 states, including Arizona, California and Louisiana. Cox Communications is the third-largest cable internet provider, covering 1/12 of U.S. residents in major cities such as San Diego, Phoenix, New Orleans and Oklahoma City, as well as virtually all of Rhode Island.
If you live in or are moving to a Cox-serviceable area, you’ll have up to five internet plans to choose from, plus many bundling options that could save you on the monthly costs of multiple home services.
Is Cox internet the best service for your home? We cover plan and service details, as well as how Cox compares to other providers, below to help you decide.

What we like
- Plan options for everyone – Cox speed tiers range from 10 to 940 Mbps, so there’s a plan for virtually every need
- Panoramic Wi-Fi – A powerful easy-to-use modem/router combo for a relatively low monthly rental fee
- Elite Gamer service – Cox is the only provider to offer an add-on designed to reduce ping and lag, which is essential to any online gamer
- Great discounts for bundling – If you need more than just internet, Cox is one of the most generous providers when it comes to bundle discounts
Things to consider
- One-year contract – Moving or canceling service before the contract period ends may result in early termination fees
- Data cap and overage fees – It will take a lot of internet use to go over the 1 TB/mo. data cap, but doing so could add $10 to your bill for every 50 GB you go over, up to $50
- Average customer satisfaction scores – The American Customer Satisfaction Index gave Cox a 62/100 in 2020, up three points from last year but still trailing many of the major internet providers
Best Cox internet plans
When choosing an internet plan, consider the size of your household, the number of internet users, their activities and how many devices are usually connected to the network.
