Good news for Cox Cable subscribers. The basic high speed internet tier ($39.95, bundled) will be boosted to 4.0 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. The Premier tier ($54.95, bundled) will be 5.0 Mbps downstream and 768 Kbps upstream. Wow.
I’ve been begging them for this for quite a while. Mostly, it was the slow (256 Kbps) upload that irked me.
The only bad news is that while most Cox-served areas have already been upgraded, Gainesville, FL will not see the upgrade until sometime later this year, because of a difference in underlying systems. Regardless, it’s coming, and I’m excited.
Cox also offers a value level of 256 Kbps upstream and downstream for $24.95 a month (no need to have cable TV service).
Update: A local Cox representative told me he thinks the speed upgrade would be complete in six weeks for the Gainesville area.
