Instead of a casty, can you give some useful information about what makes LUS better than Cox?


Cox is an insufferable company to deal with. Their offering of 1Gbps internet is a reaction to municipal utilities and Google showing the world that it was easy to do. LUS is a breeze to deal with, have very good customer service, and they were pioneers in the local area, if not the entire country.

As far as the actual service, 1Gbps LUS >>> 1Gbps Cox at with upload, latency, and consistency. Cox is Walmart and LUS is Rouse's, IMO. Walmart is cheaper and offers more though, so perhaps it's better to you.

If cheapness at a single point in time is the primary metric by which things are graded on then good luck with that.

Cheapness at a single point in time isn't my primary metric. I've not nothing but positive experiences with Cox. As with any Telecom company, you spend 15-30 minutes on hold when you call as a rule. The person on the other side reads a script. When you sign up for service, they make you block out a 4 hour window for them to show up.


I've legitimately had the same experience with all of them. It is what it is. But it's never been poor in my first-hand experience, and I haven't read too many detailed accounts of problems dealing with them that made me really side with the consumer.

Government makes it so. Cable companies own government granted local service monopolies. Sure there are multiple companies offering cable services across the country, but try switching to Spectrum or Xfinity in a Cox region. The local consumer has no choice in cable services. . . . . . Now then, imagine if healthcare was run the same way.
