I swear, it would be amazing if Cox actually had competition in my area; maybe then they would be incentivised to improve their services, or offer better prices. I'm currently getting raked over the coals with fixed high prices, while my friends right down the road benefit from unlimited data, 1Gbs right at, or less than I pay for a fraction of that.
Cost complaints aside, I'm having ping issues too.
