Cox Wifi

[HMCS(FMF)Ret.]

I just went to AT&T Fibre and got the 300Mb plan and it's $55 a month. No data limits. So far it's solid.

When I had 150Mb tier Cox I had to watch how much data I was using. My kid and then wife were oblivious and they were good about running it over if I wasn't careful, which isn't hard to do with streaming HDTV on multiple TVs. They've since raised the limit on all their plans and it's pretty generous but if you do happen to go over it's expensive. Something to consider...

ATT charges $59.99 here for 25mb.

Have you checked to see if OEC Fiber is available at your address? I pay $85/mth dns get 1gb up/down speeds. I'm on the south side of Norman and have had it for about a year now. Best choice ever.

I checked, they don’t service my area yet, but hopefully they will soon. Thanks for the info. I think they’re going to be my best hope.

I have 100Mbps fiber from OEC to my house, and the security cameras are doing fine on it.

Yeah, I did a diagnostic on mine at 100mbps, but my security system said it wasn’t enough. I went to a gig month to month, but the Cox Gateway doesn’t want to play nice with the security system. I decided yesterday I’m getting rid of the security system. Then I can decrease to 100mbps. I’ll just have to come up with different security measures.

The worst part about switching for me is I've had the same email address for 30 years. I can't even imagine what all I would have to change email addresses for.

some email can be used on any platform -- we use att/yahoo and have kept it through many changes over the years

That sucks. But I can relate. The addition across the street from mine had OEC for about a year or two before I was able to get it. Less than a block away. Just standing there, teasing me like a 2 dollar hooker.

If things-the economy gets too rough, I might just cancel Cox internet and use the cell phone data to check the bank account. I don't need to stay on the computer as long as I do, it causes consternaiton for the wife.

That’s a good price. I think where Cox is starting to get people is by charging $49.99 for unlimited data.

All my wife does in her free time is stream YouTube and all I do is read stuff on the internet. I almost never watch tv and when I do it’s antenna tv and I’ll watch some football or local news. As part of the $185 deal, they gave me the gig of internet and 100 and some channels of cox tv. Although I don’t watch tv much, I want to get a “picture tv”. One of those tv’s that looks like a picture frame. So when you’re not watching it, it’ll display art. Anyway, that’s my new idea. Since I moved back to Oklahoma I’m pretty much starting back over from scratch, but I’m having a good time. Oh P.S. The new Dept of Public Safety (drivers license place sucks)! Spent 2 1/2 hours waiting in 31 degree weather to get in. That’s crazy! Never had to do that before.

Okay, I checked with Mother. She said ours is $97.00 a month for the middle package of fiber optic through Canadian Valley Electric.
