The internet pricing and speeds you get with Frontier will vary based on which service type is available. Frontier’s DSL service offers the lowest pricing in many areas, but available speeds will vary.

As a cable internet service, Cox is able to offer more consistent speed tiers and pricing in various locations, although plans will come with 1 TB of data each month. Once your data limit is hit, your network will be reprioritized to better assist with congestion. Cox internet plans may also include one or two-year contract agreements. If you opt for a contract with Cox, your plan comes with promotional pricing for the entirety of your agreement. Subscribers who go with a month-to-month plan will pay more for service.

The best in fastest internet plans

Cox vs. Frontier fastest internet

You can get gig speeds from Cox and Frontier, but Cox’s limited service area and Frontier’s finite amount of gig-speed areas will make it difficult to get those speeds from either provider. You’re more likely to get speeds up to 300 Mbps in any Cox area and up to 500 Mbps from Frontier. Either alternative is more than enough for a moderately sized household with multiple devices and smart home integration.

Cox vs. Frontier TV

Cox offers one standalone TV package, but you’ll have more TV options if you choose to bundle. Cox’s Flex Contour Pack, for example, is a streaming-based TV service that you can only get with qualifying Cox internet service.

Frontier gives you more TV package options, but you may also be required to add internet service to qualify for certain TV packages. Frontier TV packages and available channels vary greatly by location and which service type you can get, Frontier Vantage or Frontier FiOS.

Cox matches Frontier in premium channels and add-on options, but you’ll find fewer TV plans to choose from. Frontier FiOS’ DVR service records twice as many shows as you’ll get with Cox, so if you’re all about DVR capability, Frontier is your best bet as long as you’re eligible for FiOS service. Your location will determine which Cox and Frontier plans are available to you, but Cox’s smaller service area may limit your TV channel options even further.
