i dont think they're really strict about running a thing such as a game server.....i know a lot of ppl doing it, in a matter of fact i did it for a while too....a lot of residential Cox users run ftp and other type's of servers as well....

They are strict on the Gaming Servers. I didnt know about that small Business package with static IP. Im going to get that for my online gaming. Thats why they have Bandwidth Limitations.

I think Cox sucks!!! I have sbc yahoo dsl and I would take it anyday over cable!!!!!!! It is not as fast it's is 3mbs and 384 up but it is alot better because of all the features like free 2 gig email and the price 36.95 alot better than 50 for Cox and like a 100mb email!!!! Also sbc have alot more good features like the browser and launch cast music player and more even thou I haven't used them in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also sbc does not say that they have limitations they may but I have never got a complaint and I run alot of servers things like games and files etc!!!! Also there business price is the same as the home price or residental price they don't raise them for the same dam thing just because it is a bussiness thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put down your weed guy. tard

I didn't post this to bash any ISP's, I was simply listing what options Cox had. Some people can't get DSL and are stuck with cable. These options aren't listed on their website and I was doing a favor by letting everyone know whats available.

I pay $39.95 a month for this speed from Cox cable I pay 4 3000/256 but was raised recently 4free to 4000/512 ....I had DSL b4 and IMO there is no comparison....cable rulz

I have had a free Yahoo email addy for 7 years, and now I have a free gmail account . For me email is not an issue although it is for many of my friends, I don't understand the big deal ,if I don't have room in my mail box I can move it to a folder on my P.C. all I gotta do is drag it to my desktop.........but I have never come close to 100 megs with Cox because I don't keep emails anyway, its mostly SPAM or PORN which is the same thing...LOL.. but thats why we live in a great country because we have so many choices.... except VanBuren has a killer speed in his country... lucky guy hmmmmm I wonder if he would rent me a room with net access.....nah I can barely speak English I could never learn Swedish.......
Cool

true....same for me....mail storage doesnt matter.....i just need to get it, read it and delete it

there are other ways of serving files, rather than e-mail heheheheheh - but u know...i pay 40 for my Cox service too

and i also get 4000/512 - well more than that when tweaked

- so do i value cable more than dsl ? yes

There is absolutely no comparison. Cox high speed internet service beats any DSL provider hands down. Cox not only has higher speeds but also much better service and support.

I cant believe their are still bandwidth limitations around Sad

Im on Earthlink , have ran game servers, ftp servers, music streams, java chats, remote AIM chats ,etc. Iv had the comp on for 11 days straight with downloads and uploads going, about 600gigs down and 2 -> 300 up monthly..

Limitations are rediculous. If the isp cant keep the speeds due to their customers "using" the connection, then they need to drop the advertised speeds down so they can provide what they offer.

;) Abso friggen lootly A classic bait and switch that the government allows to happen. Providers brag or "sell" their great system and then get pissed when we use it. IMO the only reason that they make it an issue is that if they have to install new facilities because of usage then their bonus ain't so fat....... So what give us what you sold us and allow ppl to determine how much they need......Years ago before they got started they threw around B.S. to the government about the unlimited ability of the information superhighway.....L0L.... lies from a bunch of suits that are nothing more than scum sucking bottom feeding, leeches, that want to whine now.... Idiots .. angry3

I also have the 4000/512 package from Cox and I haven't had any problems at all with them and would refer them anyday over anybody.. Everybody has good and bad to say about every ISP no matter what. It all reflects on the experience that you've had with them. Although to me Cable is the only way to go. I too can care less about the e-mail storage cause after I read it , it's deleted anyway. I tend to download more and as long as my dl is good then that's all I care. ' Cox RULEZ ' Very Happy

The Reason why someone would defend DSL is because they can't get Cox. It's kinda the guy that defends why he owns a minivan versus a MAN's car. So next time consider the DSL the "minivan" and consider Cox HSI 5mb the Man's Car. Laughing
