COX vs. Metronet
What are the benefits of staying with COX when Metronet offers 1 Gig at $60/mo.?

Issues such as CG-NAT will be less relevant as IPv6 adoption continues to increase.
That is another difference. Cox is IPv6 ready while Metronet is not and from their tone online it seems they don't have any immediate plans to upgrade.
Upgrading to support both IPv4 and IPv6, is both a LOT of work, and not cheap when it comes to equipment upgrades, and Software upgrades, not to mention the training of the people to be able to provide proper support when there are issues. It's certainly not an overnight thing.
To be honest though, IPv6 has been in the works for a long time now. It was developed in 1998 and standardized in 2017.
RFC1752 was actually published in January of 1995 back when the idea was referred to as IPng or Internet Protocol Next Generation.
