ATT Fiber or Cox N.O.
Posted on 4/10/24 at 5:23 pm

ATT has installed fiber on my street. Service “coming soon.”
Cox is now bumping up my speed in an effort to erase all the ill will they have earned. So, what is y’all’s experience re pricing when both options are available?
I am currently paying $42 for 250 MBPS. Is ATT going to beat that?
My problem is that I need new equipment to take advantage of the increased speeds from Cox. Can I buy something that works on both or would I need fiber specific equipment if I switch to fiber?

Fiber all day over Cox.
This question keeps coming up on here.
Fiber from almost any ISP >>>>> Cox
Cox limits uploads speed to 10-15 Mbps. If you have to VPN back to your office uploading files will be shite speed compared to symmetrical speeds with att.

Have had a good experience with AT&T so far.

AT&T all the way. I’ve had their fiber for about 5 or 6 years and I don’t think I could ever go back to that garbage that COX peddles. One of the things that I love about AT&T fiber is the Smart Home App. It allows you to really manage and optimize your network. I also have been able to troubleshoot all but one service issue through the app. That issue was because fire ants had set up in one of the connection boxes down the street.

Depending on what speed you get.. Stand alone ATT fiber is $55 a month. Are you getting Cox internet as stand alone or in a bundle price?
My ATT fiber is 192MBPS for $50... I bitched because that was the price for the old co-ax..
I have had both and will go with ATT all day long...

Fiber, fiber, fiber. Cable in my complex has died for at least 20m in ten days in the last six weeks. Fiber was alive during Harvey.

Stand-alone. Price is my concern. Sounds like fiber is the way to go. Willing to pay a premium for fiber, but there is a limit.

At&t fiber is nothing special but it is very reliable. $55/mo is usually the cheapest at&t will go and that is 300/300Mbps.
If cable is good in your area, no reason to avoid it if it meets your needs.
I'm always switching between Xfinity, At&t fiber and Google Fiber and I haven't found one to be significantly better than the others. The only differentiator I have found at my location is the fiber services get better pings to Texas (i'm in Kansas City) than Xfinity cable. But to everywhere else like east coast and west coast, all services have almost exactly the same pings.

I dont think that is true for all areas and shouldn't be true for much longer if it is. I believe Cox is rolling out increased upload capacity just like Xfinity and Charter have done.

That may be plan specific as my current plan is 1Gig down, 100 Up. I am currently having some issues with speeds, but routinely still have 40 Mbps up whenever I run my tests.
To OP, Fiber over Cox; but if Fiber isn't available, Cox over AT&T
AT&T provides their own equipment, do not know if they charge a rental fee as I am with Cox. Cox will rent a modem to you for a monthly fee, or you can check out the list on their site and find a decent one for around ~$200.

Att without question. I had cox in Metairie. It goes out frequently. For the relatively same tv coverage and internet I’m paying a third of what I was paying by going with att. It has been faster and more reliable.

1000up/1000down with fiber. 54.99 a month bundled with att phoned.
Would be 74.99 without bundle for 1000u/1000d
