| Great service and great savings
I've had Cox telephone service for over a year and think it's great. I've cut my phone bill in half compaired to Pacbell. If your thinking about switching for home use I'd say go for it. You can keep your same phone number for a one time charge of $10. -- *2000/2001 AFC West Champs!* Oakland Raiders Just Win Baby! | |

True. in phoenix you're lucky to get 20% of what they say. service is capped at 3000/256 although if you're lucky, you'll see better than the 500/80 my friends on cox see. and they're power users, they all know about rwins etc.. Guess its really a blessing in disguise that cox wont come fix my issue in my street. | |

First off, Cox is capped at 3000/256. My connection is usually 2400/240. The highest I ever had was with @home 3100/320. The lines aren't bad, but I do know that the node is overloaded. I have no clue how you get 3900. Post a speed test please. And the hiccups are outages, just spur-of-the-moment outages. Like I had one last night, don't know how long it lasted though. BTW, where is Glendale do you live? I'm near the 101 and I17. | |

| Re: Great service here in Phoenix This is why wee need massive big government regulation with hard price controls to squeeze out fragmentation. There should NEVER EVER EVER EVER BE MORE THAN ONE NON-COMPETING CABLE COMPANY PER STATE. If others want jump into the fire, overbuild, and compete, fine, but having 2 or more non-competing cable companies only produces huge inefficiencies and massive overhead. People in the minority MONOPOLY provider will never have cable telephony. They will always get the new services years after everybody else and pay far more them. If everybody had bundles like that, satellite would strictly be in rural communities and these debates would occur. | |

| The Only Praise I have for Cox Communications This is the only praise that I have for Cox Communications. I will admit that their phone server is somewhat ok. I have found problems with it though. We have had Cox Telephone for over a year and they keep saying we will send you your calling card. To date we have not received it. As for making international phone calls to our friends in europe. We can't call there. We have been on the phone with them on and off for the last year and they don't know what the problem is. | |
