Is their fiber that much better at 6mb/s versus whatever I've got from Cox currently?



Nope, and it's probably not fiber to the premises anyway. There are a few factors that would affect your U-verse experience, such as whether it's fiber to the node or fiber to the home. If it's fiber to the node, how old is the twisted pair copper going to your house? Will they bury new line? How far away from the VRAD are you? Knowing your top allowed speed package would help answer this.

Similar variables affect Cox service, though (as well as number of subscribers, modem type/age, coax age, number/type/quality of splitters, etc), so it's impossible to tell you which company is going to perform the best in your area. However, all speeds equal and all service set up and performing exactly as it should, Cox is superior to U-verse.

Gotcha. Yep. Might just try to use this to get cox to increase something or decrease price.

I posted this in the OT...

Which is better for home internet, Xfinity or Uverse. i currently have Xfinity but could get a better deal if I switched. Id be going from 6 mbps (xfinity) to 18 mbps uverse for cheaper than what Im paying now....
