Xbox Live
I saw that Microsoft
named Cox an Xbox Compatible Provider – what does that mean?
Microsoft recognizes that to ensure the best possible online gaming experience,
gamers must have a high-quality broadband connection. Cox's robust IP network
is able to deliver advanced entertainment services such as Xbox Live, so Microsoft
has identified Cox as an Xbox Compatible Provider.
