COX vs Qwest

[Bob Broberg SPF667 460BB]

Mike, I have the Cox bundle package of web, TV and phone. TV is an extended basic with black box, phone is basic, and web is Premier. All work fine. Monthly bill is $128.93 plus tax and fees, total about $134. No movie channels.

I have Cox net and two phone lines in the office and have been happy with the service for several years now.

Here in Scottsdale, AZ for my home Cox cable I see around 21 to 23 MB per second download speed when tested on www.speedtest.net. Cox also offers reduced speed service which they say is limited to 1.5 MB per second. I have a number of modems set up with this service in rental property. I think the slowest Cox is better than the fastest Qwest if you're trying to run the internet with Qwest through old telephone wires. My parents tried Qwest in an older neighborhood and it was pretty much a joke.

not saying one is better for the net or phone service. Price is the reason for change and tired of poor quality of cox on cable tv. They all run on the same hard lines to your house, so that is a non issue.

Gary,
You got me thinking over your statement "All the same lines anyway) something was not clicking for me here. I had bad phone lines in my area including dropped connections that changing over to Cox did make go away.

Made me think about if they were the same or not. I do not know were it goes or ends up but phone and cable are very different lines in my hood anyway. Phone lines are underground with tall rectangular green junction box near Xformers here and there. The cable is on the poles and drops to each home. This seems back asswords don't it. Just a few streets away everything is underground with no poles and all underground.

Same here, I used to lose a phone line for for a day or so every time it rained really hard. Not so with Cox.
