In my community our only option for decently fast internet is Cox Communications, a vast majority of our neighborhood is just plain fed up with how poor the service is from Cox. I personally am paying for a 300mb download with a 30mb download, I consistantly get over my upload speed, but rarely do I ever get anywhere close to what my download speed is, usually around 100mb-115mb. When we moved into our new house we decided to "cut the cable" and we stream everything in our house (Netflix, Hulu, Google Movies, Amazon Prime), as well as having many home automation devices connected to my network. At any given time i can have 15-20 devices connected to the internet, as well as me being an avid gamer. So its pretty clear that I require a reliable connection to the internet, which I am NOT getting with Cox Communication.
We have roughly 60-70 homes in our community, so I think its safe to say that many of those homes would leave Cox in a heart beat if we had something better to choose from.
