Starlink is the best option and it's not particularly close.

Is it really possible for Cox to become worse than it already is?

I've had Spectrum internet for years at home. It's been pretty damn good as far as I'm concerned. It's super fast, rarely have an outage.

It’s the best option when you have no other option. Fiber and 5G is still king

Cox and its crappy service is the reason I have AT&T fiber and I'm not looking back.

If you had ATT fiber access, you've been overpaying for an underperforming network.

If you have ATT fiber available and you still have cox, you are making a severe mistake.

For your sake, I sure hope not. AT&T has consistently been the worst company I have had to deal with as an adult. Just shitty all the way around.

I have REV fiber optic now. Not a single drop or speed drop in months.

And twice the speed at half the price.

Coaxial cable can suck it whatever company is providing it.

I'm getting close to making the jump. I'm hoping that v3 launches will bring down prices.

That has been Cox for me. Att INTERNET has been far better in my experience. ATT cellular can lick my testicles.

Based on what I've read, this should be an upgrade over Cox. Though I still scheduled the switch to ATT since it would drop my bill almost in half.

$70 for 250Mbs w/ Cox.

$50 for 1Gig w/ ATT + $200 gift card = $34/month for the 1st year after using gift card to pay internet bill.

eta: Yes, should have switched a long time ago. Cox has been robbing me.
