Totals are combined upload and download, Cox has been fairly liberal with their cap overages.

Gigablast - 1TB/1000GB/mo ~ 33.33GB/day (Very limited service in a few areas)

Ultimate - 400GB/mo ~ 13.33GB/day

Premier - 300GB/mo ~  10GB/day

Preferred - 250GB/mo ~ 8.33GB/day

Essential -100GB/mo ~  3.33GB/day

Starter - 50GB/mo ~ 1.67GB/day

Hi OCIndie, the amount of data would vary based on the internet package you choose for yourself.  There are data caps on each one of our services, you can see that information here - http://www.cox.com/aboutus/policies/speedsusage.cox.  We calculate the data caps on a monthly basis, so the post above would give you an idea of what you could use daily to not go over the maximum amount.

Thanks.  I have the 250GB package and it seems to work well but I'm looking for a similar but cheaper alternative.

Awesome! Was wondering when the specifics on the Gigabit's cap would be released. Now if only we could see the pricing  ;)

Interesting  Have any more info on the Gigablast service? Is it a new tier or just a higher data cap?

I have a feeling it will be where ever Google is.

So it's the same price as Ultimate... interesting. Is that $99.99 a promotional rate, Tiffany, or the regular retail rate?

The $99.99 is the current monthly retail rate for the Gigabit tier of service.

Or where Century Link deploys fiber.   We already have fiber deployed in Vail (new subdivision out side of Rita Ranch, (Tucson)) My ONT is provisioned for 1 Gig already, they just need to turn up the service from 100 down 50 up.   I would love to see cox turn up 1 gig here as well as Google fiber to come into the neighborhood.

I don't think you will ever see Century Link and Cox competing for the same territory. You don't see cable companies in general competing against each other because only one of them can use the cable/fiber lines at once.

CenturyLink AZ is a Telco (formerly Mountain Bell), and does directly compete with Cox in Arizona and Las Vegas.

While most of CenturyLink's copper was laid in the 60's, 70's and 80's they are upgrading and deploying new fiber.

I don't think it is just coincidental that both CenturyLink's first 1Gig residential fiber deployment is directly next door to Cox's first announced 1Gig deployment in Scottsdale, AZ

Ahh, didn't know that. Thought they were a cable ISP.
