I've been checking various addresses around the valley for friends and family for the past several months to see when we can finally switch from COX and once and for all say goodbye to their old data capped garbage technology. Is that harsh?
Anyway I recently noticed much to my surprise and delight that almost half of the locations I regularly check now show up as eligible for gigabit service. All of them are in older neighborhoods w/ telephone poles.
Is this a new thing? Seems like a new thing. Seems like it should be bigger news. I mean I see plenty of CL commercials about the "price for life" thing, but nothing that says "Hey we might be doing fiber optics in your super old 'hood now, Grandma! Get some!"
Something like that. Or maybe they're waiting until the rollout is complete? That would make sense. Cox should be worried. I can't wait to make that call.
