Availability in your area?  You should be able to "shop" within your Cox account.

As per here looks like only AZ has 2Gbps service as of right now. Also, you need to use a PW8 Panoramic gateway, however that may change in the future.

We have the same service available in Omaha - at least in my area of town. Requires the PW8 and is 2Gbps down and 100 Mbps up.

Thanks for the update. So that makes two areas so far that has it. Anyone else?

According to the Plans page, you'll need fiber connected to your house, aka FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) or FTTH (Fiber To The Home)

Did you read the thread I posted? It showed someone(causefx) posting 2Gbps/100Mbps service over DOCSIS/HFC. It was also confirmed by _Luke, who is a employee. Most 2Gbps service is fiber but it is available over HFC in some parts of AZ.

No, I didn't read the thread you posted.  I guess we'd need to define "2 Gbps."  Is it 2 Gb up and down or just a "hybrid" 2 Gb?  I think the attraction to 2 Gb would be the upload but capping at 100 Mb seems like a scam.

How is it a scam? They might be able to do 200Mbps up soon but that is close to what a mid split can technically do. Peak of HFC technology as of right now. Granted, there aren't too many reasons to need 2Gbps down.

Scam?  What's the price difference between 2 Gb up & down vs. 2 Gb/100 Mb?  Is there a discount for only 100 Mb down?  I'm sure you'll also have to rent something.

I guess the word "scam" is what threw me off. So you think it is a bad value? I can agree with that.
