Let me start by saying Cox is top of the line. Their 24 hour support has helped me many times over the years. No matter how hard to figure out what was going on, they made sure I was completely satisfied before getting off the phone. This goes for the cable and internet service. Thanks again Cox!!!

We love Cox on demand movies. The price is the same as any video store and with the price of gas these days it saves that trip to the video store.

Jeffrey M. Virginia Beach, VA
I love my Cox services. I have digital cable, phone and high speed internet. I have been pleasantly suprised at how rarely the cable or internet goes out. The internet is very fast which I love:) It makes doing business, playing games or surfing the web, easy and enjoyable. Thank you Cox.

I love Cox Cable and the DVR service is the BEST! Program it once and never miss a show. We moved last year and the Cox guy worked with me to ensure that I kept my same box so I would not have to reprogram a new one with all the shows. Seems like a small thing but everyone in the family was happy the transition was so easy! Julie A. Williamsburg, VA
I highly recommend that all Cox high speed internet users take advantage of the new McAfee security package... McAfee Security has excellent features and runs in the background without slowing down your computer operating system.
