I went ahead and got the single band all in one from Cox ($6.99 a month) for the time being. They should be installing it this afternoon so I'll see how it performs and hope for the best. I just kinda like the idea of them being responsible if something breaks and they can replace it.

www.speedtest.net is a good goto, the only thing you have to watch is if it picks a place that is closest to you physically but has less bandwidth than your connection the results will be skewed. I generally try and grab a site out of dallas hosted by a big name company.

And just noticed they bumped the tier up from 100 to 150 down.

So we are switching from ATT back to Cox internet, Its been a few years since I had Cox so I'm not sure what I need since ATT has the all in one modem/wifi router. What kind of wifi router do I need to look for and what do you have that you like and works well? Does Cox offer a all in one box? Is it worth renting/buying theirs? Or should I just use the modem they give me and get my own router? We will be getting the 2nd from lowest internet package I belive, nothing really expensive, I think it sows $55 or a month on the website. We will be using it for wifi on 3 phones, Roku for Netflix, and laptop for my wifes school needs.

Basically Cox requires DOCSIS 3.0 modems. There is a list on their web site and one thing I would try to find out would be how many channels modem you need for your service.
I keep the modem and wifi router separate.
The modem I have is a Netgear CM600 and the router a CISCO Linksys E2500.
