Fiber is the future — as an internet delivery mechanism it provides fast, reliable speeds, and can scale to keep up with the increasing bandwidth demands of your cloud and connected devices (i.e. cloud-based gaming, 4K video streaming, video conferencing, live social media streaming, and more).
Fiber-optic cables are made of up strands of glass that are thinner than human hair transmitting your data as light (literally, traveling at the speed of light), enabling the fastest symmetrical upload/download speeds, meaning your upload speeds are equal to your download speeds. Traditional cable transmits data over metal cables and cannot currently support symmetrical upload/download speeds.
Fiber-based networks are less likely to be impacted by a power outage than traditional internet transport networks and are less susceptible to signal interference. You'll experience more consistent speeds, less downtime, and lower latency.
Cox's fiber powered internet*** has America's fastest download speeds.1 Cox's fiber powered internet can reach multi GIG speeds (where available), for both upload and download speeds. With this rate, you can simultaneously stream full 4K movies, share large files, play multiplayer games online, livestream video and join video conference calls seamlessly.
No, you get the same great price whether your connection is driven by our hybrid fiber-coax network or 100% fiber optic network.
Cox Internet delivers fiber-powered internet everywhere we serve. That means fiber runs all the way to the node, or central hub, outside of your neighborhood. From there, your home may be connected by a coax cable or, in select areas, we offer Cox Fiber which delivers a 100% fiber optic connection directly to the home. Regardless of your home’s connection type, our network is capable of delivering up to 1 GIG download speeds everywhere we serve, and even multi GIG speeds in select areas. Enter your address above to find out if Cox Fiber is available in your neighborhood.
You will have a new device installed at your home called an Optical Network Terminal (ONT). Cox provides this device free of charge and it stays with your home when/if you move. It is typically a small white plastic device that is placed in an inconspicuous spot central to your home, or in a media panel, if available. The ONT functions as your modem, which is required to bring the internet signal from our fiber network to your home. You will still need a router or gateway to deliver the internet signal throughout your home via wifi, or to connect multiple devices simultaneously.
For wifi connectivity, the technician will connect your router to the ONT via an ethernet cable, which they will provide. If you have an existing, compatible router or a gateway (modem + router combined unit), the technician can connect it for you to get your wifi up and running. Please note that your wifi router or gateway may need to be moved closer to the ONT device. If you do not have an existing device for providing in-home wifi, you can rent a Cox Panoramic Wifi gateway.
Whether you're an occasional emailer or an all-night binge-watcher, we're here to help you find the internet speed and package that's just right for you. Refer to our internet speed guidelines to find out just how much internet speed you need. Curious to know how much speed you have now? Use our Speed Test tool to check your internet connection using your computer or mobile device.
Cox internet has America's fastest download speeds.1 Cox offers up to 2 gig internet speeds, and 1 gig speeds, powered by fiber* are widely available.
*Cox Internet is powered by fiber and connected to the premises via coaxial connection.
Two things matter as it relates to the speed of your internet connection: the download speed and the upload speed. Download is the speed at which your computer receives data from the internet. In general, when you request a webpage, you pass a very small amount of data to the web called a request and the web page and all of the assets are downloaded to your computer. Upload is the speed at which your computer sends data to the internet (or cloud). This is mostly relevant when you are uploading pictures or videos from your computer to someplace on the internet. Generally, upload speeds are slower than download speeds as more customers have the need for downloading information from the internet, like loading web pages, streaming videos, etc. Download and upload speeds are both measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Check out our speed test for an accurate assessment of your current internet connection.
Yes — we want you to have the speed that best fits your needs so you always have the option to change it later. You can do this online or you may contact our Cox Customer Care team by chat or by phone. We try our best to get you what you need as fast as possible so if you have a modem that is compatible with your requested speeds, we can upgrade your speeds in minutes to get you up and running in no time. Too much speed? No problem — you can choose to downgrade. If you've taken advantage of some special promotional offers, you may not be able to maintain discounted rates if you change your speed. Chat with us to learn about your options.
No. 1000 Mbps and 1 gig, or 1 Gbps, denote the same internet speed, just in different units of measurement. Both Gbps and Mbps are measurements of data transfer or, in other words, internet speed. Mbps stands for megabits per second. Gbps stands for gigabits per second. 1 Gbps, or 1 gig, is equal to 1,000 Mbps.
5G stands for “fifth generation,” the most recent version of cellular/mobile technology. Although 5G is a mobile/cellular technology, it can also be used to deliver internet service to a residence. 5G home internet uses nearby cellular towers to send a signal to the modem/router in your home. The speed and reliability of that signal can be severely degraded by several factors, from how far it needs to travel to reach your home to objects that might stand in the way — think trees, buildings and even windows. In comparison, Cox's reliable, fiber-powered broadband network*** can deliver internet speeds that are even faster than 5G providers.1
Note: 5G is different than 5 Gbps (5 gigabits per second, which is an Internet speed) and 5 GHz (a setting you might see on your wifi router).

Yes, for certain households and areas. Input your address to see if fiber internet is available for your household. Fiber isn't the only path to lightning-fast internet—check out our Gigablast plans, which offer ultrafast connections for everyone.
Gigabit internet on a cable and fiber connection are the fastest options available for home networks. Gigabit is a broadband service with gigabit-per-second download speeds (Gbps). Fiber is another unique broadband service that transmits data as light, which allows data to travel far at high speeds. Fiber and gigabit are often referred to as 1 gig internet.
Cox has many home internet plans ranging from Go Fast (up to 100 Mbps download speeds) service all the way up to Go Super Fast (1,000 Mbps, or 1 Gbps download speeds) everywhere, and Go Beyond Fast (2,000 Mbps, or 2 Gbps) service in select locations. Check out plan details here, explore Cox internet bundles or learn more about Gigabit internet. Cox also has StraightUp internet — a prepaid internet plan where you pay month-to-month. Available to eligible customers.

Cox provides cable internet service where digital data is transmitted over existing cable lines to provide a high-speed internet connection. With DSL, your performance is based on how far away you are from a central location. Additionally, cable internet can offer higher internet speeds as the cable wires provide a greater bandwidth than DSL.
View Cox Internet plans and pricing on this page, or check out any of the Cox internet bundles designed to save you money by combining Cox services.
With our new flexible pricing options, you can buy only the services you want rather than signing up for multi-product bundles. You can build your own package by starting with our discounted Internet offers. You can always add TV, Phone, or Homelife at our everyday prices (then-current regular (non-promotional) rates) and remove them without impacting the rates on your remaining services. If you want to change the tier of any of your services, like a different Internet speed or TV package, we will work with you to find the service that meets your needs, but your rate and available discounts will be different since you are changing the level of services you are subscribed to. If you sign up for an Internet Bundle, removing either Panoramic Wifi or Cox Complete Care from your bundle will cause you to lose your bundle discount and promotional pricing. If you choose to sign up for a term agreement to get additional savings, ETFs apply for termination of your Internet service, but not if you cancel your TV, Phone, or Homelife plans. If you'd rather not to make a commitment on your Internet plan, options are available without a term agreement for an additional small monthly fee.
Cox offers many competitively-priced internet plans. View our most affordable plans and pricing here. Select customers may be eligible for StraightUp Internet, a prepaid plan where you pay month-to-month. And, for qualified customers, we offer Connect2Compete, a low-cost plan.

Wifi and internet are two different things. Wifi is an alternative to cables connecting devices. Wifi gives you wireless access to the internet from anywhere in your home via a modem, which translates the signal from Cox. The router distributes your internet connection through your home so all of your devices can communicate with each other and the internet.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC program to help households struggling to pay for Internet service during the pandemic. Through this program, the Federal government will provide a discount of up to $30 per month towards Internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on Tribal lands. It is limited to one monthly service discount and one device per household.
