Cox internet plan and price comparison

Cox internet deals and speeds will vary by location, but they are still likely to be one of the cheapest and fastest internet options available for those in Cox service areas.

*Pricing per month plus taxes. Pricing, packages, and policies are subject to change, including when adjusting or removing services or equipment. Prices do not include applicable taxes, surcharges, usage-based charges (such as data, toll usage, pay-per-use service), and other fees. After any promotional period, regular rates apply (see www.cox.com). Prorated charges may appear on your bill if you change services before the billing cycle is complete. Rates, and/or when applicable, term agreements, may differ from those presented here as a result of customer’s account features, such as existing discounts, bundles, term agreements, or service address. Other restrictions may apply. All services and plans subject to Cox Residential Customer Service Agreement (including mandatory arbitration provisions), Acceptable Use Policy (including Cox’s right to terminate service for abuse of network), and other policies at: cox.com/policies. Gig plans not available in all areas. 1 Gig: pricing is for 24 mo., no annual contract or fees. Last updated 12/23/24.

Cox deals and promotions

Cox offers deals and promotions throughout the year. You can get a free Panoramic Wi-Fi Gateway device with its internet plans for two years. You can also save $15/mo. when you add Cox Mobile to your internet plan. Check out our monthly deals page for great promotions from providers, including Cox deals.

Our take on Cox internet plans

Compared to other major providers, Cox is about average all around. It has a wide range of speeds, and you’ll pay a standard price for them, with no significant promotions or discounts. Cox’s lowest performing category, value, received a lower score due to its $20-$34/mo. price increase after 12-24 months.

Cox scores a little higher in the performance and customer satisfaction categories, however, due to its fast speed plan options and its use of coaxial cable technology, which is known for being one of the more reliable internet service types.

How we calculated our rating

What we like

  • Plan options for everyone – Cox speed tiers range from 100 to 1000 Mbps, so there’s a plan for virtually every need.

  • Panoramic Wi-Fi – A powerful easy-to-use modem/router combo is included free for 24 months on most plans.

  • Easy termination – Cox makes it easy to end service with no annual contract or cancellation fees.

Things to consider

  • Data caps – It will take a lot of internet use to go over the 1.25 TB/mo. data cap, but doing so could add $10 to your bill for every 50GB you go over, up to $50.

  • Price increases – After 12-24 months of service, Cox will increase plans by $20/mo. – $34/mo.

Our methodology

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.

For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of 1 to 5, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 180 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between 3 and 4. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 400 Mbps plan got a 4.16.

We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

Cox Communications internet fees

Installation fee: Free 

One perk of choosing Cox internet is that you don’t have to pay an installation fee. Installation fees can cost up to $150 so this is a great way to keep your first internet bill a little lower. 

Overage fee: $10/mo. for every 50GB exceeded 

A small downside of Cox internet is that there are data caps imposed on most Cox plans. However, a data cap of 1.25 TB/mo. is difficult to exceed so don’t worry too much about this fee.

How does Cox internet service compare?

In areas serviceable for Cox internet, fiber optic or DSL providers may also be available. Take a look at how Cox compares to other internet service providers below:

*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 12/13/24.

Cox has a hard time competing with AT&T Fiber and Verizon Fios when it comes to pricing and upload speeds. If you are looking for the best value, therefore, only choose Cox if you live in an area where fiber optic internet providers are not available. If you are simply looking for the cheapest high-speed internet option available, however, Cox is one of the better options.

Cox internet and TV packages

Cox allows you to bundle any internet plan with its TV service, Cox Contour TV. If you are looking to bundle internet and TV, Cox offers four different TV packages to choose from that range from 75+ to 250+ channels and you can also add Cox home phone to any bundle package. That said, you won’t get any savings by bundling Cox internet and TV together—the price is the same as it would be if you bought them separately.

Cox customer satisfaction 

When it comes to customer satisfaction, Cox is right in the middle of the pack or just below. In 2023, Cox tied with Spectrum internet on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) with a score of 64/100. Overall, the average score for the major ISPs was 66/100.

Cox internet FAQs

Can I use my own modem with Cox internet service?

If you don’t want to rent a Cox modem, you can use your own compatible modem for Cox internet. Compatible modems may vary by location and internet plan.

Yes. Cox offers internet-only plans and TV-only plans.

No. However, Cox does offer their Connect2Compete program for low-income families with at least one K-12 student.

However, Cox will automatically provide 50 GB data blocks for $10 each until your data plan resets at the beginning of the next month.

*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. Speeds may vary. As of 12/23/24.
