Cox Communications announces it is the first internet provider to deliver multi-gig speeds to all customers in the Central Florida market
Press release from Cox Communications
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Cox Communications has announced that its 2-gigabit download speeds are now available to all customers, the first broadband provider to deliver multi-gig speeds across its entire Central Florida market.
Cox’s multi-gig speeds will be delivered through breakthrough enhancements to its existing fiber-powered network, without any digging or disruption to neighborhoods. The ability to deliver multi-gig download speeds everywhere is the result of Cox’s nearly $12B investment in network upgrades over the past 10 years (2014-2023) to deliver some of the most powerful communications and entertainment services.
For years, Cox has been delivering gig speeds to all customers in Central Florida, unlike other provider approaches that often limit high-speed internet to select neighborhoods or areas. Cox continues to offer its highest speeds to all subscribers, ensuring that every customer has access to cutting-edge technology and reliable connectivity.
“By investing billions of dollars in our existing fiber-powered network, we’re able to deliver all customers our fastest speeds, without disruption to any property,” said Aimee Pfannenstiel, Cox Central Florida market vice president. “We know customers want lightning-fast download speeds, seamless streaming experiences, and enhanced capabilities for remote work, online learning, gaming, and more, and these 2-gig download speeds deliver that experience.”
Cox has a long history of providing the speeds customers need. In fact, in its recently released 2024 annual review, HighSpeedInternet.com (HSI) ranked Cox as the fastest ISP in the nation based on average download speeds for all of 2023.
What is multi-gig? Two-gig internet is a broadband connection that can transfer data at up to 2 billion bits per second, twice as fast as traditional gigabit internet and 10 times faster than the average speeds in the U.S. (about 200 Mbps). That means basically everything fast and all at once:
- Seamless streaming experience
- Multiple video conferences at once
- Multi-player gaming
- Multiple 4k/8k streams
- Virtual reality, and more
Cox is also giving customers new opportunities to combine their mobile and broadband services, offering fast, fiber-powered internet at home, packaged with unbeatable 5G reliability on the go.
