Introduction
Cox Communications is the 3rd largest internet service provider in US. The operator is serving in 19 states. Cox has been a user-friendly broadband network and has helped millions of people building their future with Cox Internet.
Cox Internet has a data cap 1.25TB which I believe is too much for a user, the network has been promising when it comes to providing speed to the consumers even in the peak hours. Cox offers multiple plans for the users so that they can make choices depending on the usage of their house. But as a user, you must be confused of what plan you should go with. Don’t worry I’m here to assist you.
In this guide, I’ll try to analyze the factors that you should consider. Speed and connectivity would play a significant role in selecting plan.
Which plan should I go for?
It must be very hard for you to choose between such amazing plans. But you need to look at some aspects that would help you in choosing a perfect plan.
Know your Consumption
The first thing that should pop up in your mind is what is your consumption. You should have the idea of your total devices. You should know how many devices would work at a time and what activities would be performed.
For your knowledge here are some basic calculations that you should know.
- Browsing – around 5-7Mb
- Streaming – 1-30Mb depending on the SD and UHD factor.
- Social Media – somewhere around 5-15Mb
- Online Gaming – less than 10Mb
If you are a user who wants to perform all activities can add the speeds accordingly but we haven’t talked about the download speed yet.
Download Speed
I am sure you have heard “more is always better”. Same goes for download speed too. Because if you have a download speed of around 100mbps, it would take more than 2 hours for your download and if you avail 2gbps Cox Beyond Fast package, your file will be downloaded in less than 10 minutes. Sounds fun, Right?
The more download speed you have, the faster you can download a file. In case if you’re not getting enough download speed, you definitely should go for upper packages.
Review your usage
The best thing to find the best plan for you should be to review the data that you have consumed the entire month. There are other internet service providers who allows user to have a monitor on the data they have consumed and if not, you can easily download a third-party app in order to track your activities and data.
Pricing
If you want a faster speed, you will need to pay a little more. In case if you’re thinking about the price. Attaching plans so that you can have a clear image what package suits your pocket.

| Go Faster | Arrives with a good 250mbps download speed where you can easily complete any web series on OTT in UHD. | Starting with $70 per month. |

Speed Test by Ookla
One of the major reasons to consider Cox should be the improvement that Cox has come across. In the 2nd quarter, Spectrum was leading the download chart with 243.02mbps and Cox was just 1.6mbs behind Spectrum. Now in the 3rd quarter of 2023, Ookla has declared Cox as the fastest with 260.09mbps download leaving Spectrum at 245.88mbps.
Think about Future
You need to think about the future because the technology is evolving day by day, you might need a high-end package so that you can watch any web series on your 4K television. If you’re currently using Go Fast and plans to install 4K tv or if you are aiming for streaming, then I think you should consider upgrading your plan.
Wrap-Up
As of now, it depends on you as a user, what plan suits you the most. But to secure yourself for the future, you should definitely think to upgrade your plan so that you can do all of your work with ease.
