downside of leaving Cox
I am paying close to 100.00 for Cox internet. Verizon is offering 1000 @ 35.00 for a 10year price guarantee, including wireless router .
What would the downside be. I'd probably be losing my email...

HFC, Hybrid Fiber Coax. It's fiber up tot he point where it's converted to coax, luckily for me, that's about 19 feet from my back door. And yes, my family member is having an issue, their fiber system is old, and won't be updated to better fiber for another few years. They are waiting for their agreed time is up and they are switching providers.

That last "mile" can cause a lot of problems though. Ingress, back feed, congestion. That is why Cox is investing so much into fiber, whether it be to support more nodes closer to the customer or actual FTTH. I am not anti Cox, I am just Pro Fiber. 🙂

I am sorry for your family members. My area was upgraded years ago and all that was needed was a new(free) ONT. I guess OP could tell what type of service is being used in the area by looking at the speeds listed for FIOS on the FCC Broadband Maps.
