Cox came back and offered $248 the preferred internet at 500mbps, free HBO max

so still more expensive than AT&T

but I do run my alarm through Cox and that's included in the $248

I have the 2000 plan and directv stream, I'm happy, the wife's happy. The fiber is excellent and the streaming is pretty good. Definitely sufficient

What’s stopping you from getting SimpliSafe or Ring?

I deal with the Cox Legacy department and am getting 1Gig Internet, HBO/HBOMax, lots of dependable email, not to mention tons of channels and streaming access through them for $217 including “title tax and license.”

Also have an Apple 4K TV box to fill in.

Wired or Wireless I get 950-980 all-day.


Me too, on a speed test. But that's not really a good measure. I can barely get over 600 with 40 newsgroup threads.


I think i have the wrong person, someone in a different thread said they had fiber directly to their PC with ATT, and i was wondering how they did that.

They can't. At a minimum there has to be an ONT before the PC.

Gig, you will never get anywhere close to gig speeds, but it comes with unlimited bandwidth, and i go over 1tb pretty much every month.

No clue if you're thinking of me, but if so, you misunderstood. I use the standard ATT BGW320 gateway.

Doesn't replace the need for an ONT. ONT is where the authentication is performed.
