Our take on Cox internet plans

Compared to other major providers, Cox is about average all around. It has a wide range of speeds, and you’ll pay a standard price for them, with no significant promotions or discounts. Cox’s lowest performing category, value, received a lower score due to its $20-$34/mo. price increase after 12-24 months.

Cox scores a little higher in the performance and customer satisfaction categories, however, due to its fast speed plan options and its use of coaxial cable technology, which is known for being one of the more reliable internet service types.

What we like

Plan options for everyone

Cox speed tiers range from 100 to 1000 Mbps, so there’s a plan for virtually every need.

Panoramic Wi-Fi

A powerful easy-to-use modem/router combo is included free for 24 months on most plans.

Easy termination

Cox makes it easy to end service with no annual contract or cancellation fees.

Things to consider

Data caps

It will take a lot of internet use to go over the 1.25TB/mo. data cap, but doing so could add $10 to your bill for every 50GB you go over, up to $50.

Price increases

After 12-24 months of service, Cox will increase plans by $20/mo. – $34/mo.

Cox Communications internet fees

Installation fee: Free
One perk of choosing Cox internet is that you don’t have to pay an installation fee. Installation fees can cost up to $150 so this is a great way to keep your first internet bill a little lower.

Overage fee: $10/mo. for every 50GB exceeded
A small downside of Cox internet is that there are data caps imposed on most Cox plans. However, a data cap of 1.25TB/mo. is difficult to exceed so don’t worry too much about this fee.

Cox has a hard time competing with AT&T Fiber and Verizon Fios when it comes to pricing and upload speeds. If you are looking for the best value, therefore, only choose Cox if you live in an area where fiber optic internet providers are not available. If you are simply looking for the cheapest high-speed internet option available, however, Cox is one of the better options.

Cox internet and TV packages

Cox allows you to bundle any internet plan with its TV service, Cox Contour TV. If you are looking to bundle internet and TV, Cox offers four different TV packages to choose from that range from 75+ to 250+ channels and you can also add Cox home phone to any bundle package. That said, you won’t get any savings by bundling Cox internet and TV together—the price is the same as it would be if you bought them separately.

Cox customer satisfaction

When it comes to customer satisfaction, Cox is right in the middle of the pack or just below. In 2023, Cox tied with Spectrum internet on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) with a score of 64/100. Overall, the average score for the major ISPs was 66/100.
