FYI -- from an email I received today: 

Cox Communications is thrilled to announce that starting in June 2005, we will begin increasing the speeds of our Premier Internet Package to 15 Mbps downstream. This increased bandwidth will give you even more capacity for all your Internet needs. That means you’ll download media rich applications faster than ever, send large files super-quick, and gain the upper hand on gaming opponents before they know what hit them!

Cox is offering a free modem exchange, too.  They will provide a Scientific Atlanta cable modem capable of handling the new speeds.  I don't have the upgraded version yet.  Cox claims they'll distribute new cable modems by 6/30.

I believe they are only doing the 15/2 in areas that offer FIOS. Cox is fighting fire with fire in Virginia.

Arizona has upgraded to 9000/1000 already. Cox is doing their thing.

god dsl stop falling behind ((
all i hear are these new forms of dsl yet they arent available yet
why do they keep thinking of new forms of dsl when we cant get them???
its makin me mad!

15MB huh? I got one question........Im with Cox in New Orleans, I pay 39.95 a month for my 4MB connection......lmao how much is a 15MB connection gonna run ya? Bet you need to take out a loan huh? lol let me know highest speed available here is 6MB downstream because Cox's only compitition is Bellsouth DSL and they just upgraded to 3MB for 59.95 a month.....lol

yep the 15/2 is the next step up....54.95 - that was their premium package of 5/768 that got upgraded to that

we need some competition in las vegas so we can get some good deals. Cox did up our speed, it went from 4/256 and 5/512 ------> 4/512 and 5/768 big whooop. I did hear that they are goign to offer their digital phone service. Does anyone have that and is it any good and whats the pricing. thanks

Hey, folks!  Got the new cable modem today and it is now working, though the speed increase has not taken effect yet.  We'll see!
