Cox Communications in April announced that the company has begun offering 2-Gigabit symmetrical speeds in neighborhoods across its footprint. While more than 99 percent of Cox’s residential customers have access to Gigabit download speeds today, this is Cox’s first multi-gig symmetrical offer.
This follows the company's announcement that it is making a multibillion-dollar annual infrastructure investment over the next several years to build a 10-Gigabit capable, fiber-based network that will power the next generation of internet users.
Expanding on fiber to the premise (FTTP) outlay combined with breakthrough enhancements to cable’s broadband DOCSIS 4.0 technology will enable Cox to deliver more multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds in the coming years to both residential and business customers to support a growing host of high bandwidth applications.
"As future technologies emerge that benefit the consumer experience, our customers can depend on us for the required increased bandwidth and network reliability to power their increasingly digital lives," said Len Barlik, EVP and chief technology officer at Cox.
In addition to faster speeds, Cox notes it also continues to provide secure and reliable WiFi connections covering the whole home. Cox’s Panoramic Wifi offers the latest gateway technology to deliver the most advanced experience with reliable speed, coverage, control and security that can be easily updated as technology changes. Customers also have personal control and security through the Panoramic Wifi app with Advanced Security, protecting every device connected to their network.
"Our customers have counted on our speeds and reliable service for more than 30 years, and that same connectivity is ready to support the required increased bandwidth to power their digital futures,” concluded Cox's Barlik.
