When you consider the speed that you get with Cox against others in the competition, it is quite good but not the best that you will get most especially when you are comparing it to Time Warner Cable’s Spectrum and Comcast XFINITY.
One thing you may want to know is that like all other internet services, Cox has a data limit that it offers for all its plans. The limit for all the internet plans is 1,024 GB which is the same as a Terabyte monthly. Unless you are a heavy internet user you will not be able to exhaust this data as you will have to stream 400 hours of HD videos and movies before you can exhaust it.
Apart from the regular plans, there are also bundles that you can decide to add to your plan to include TV services ( Contour and Starter), home phone services, and home security and automation. The prices here will depend on the data plan you want and the other things you have added in your bundle.
Features
The internet plans come with some features such as the Panoramic WiFi which allows you to access the internet even in hard-to-reach places. The WiFi is also fast and it comes with the Cox Connect app to manage it. More so, you will have a professional installation from the company.
However, if you need the Panoramic WiFi modem, you will have to get that separately at $9.99 per month. Getting the modem is only available on rental basis. You may as well decide to get your own modem to use, but according to Cox, when you make use of a modem that does not belong to the company, it may not be able to offer you the needed support when you need one in that regards.
Another feature is the Cox Security Suite Plus which serves to get you protected from online threats including virus and malware attacks. The security is powered by McAfee.
Cox Email and Webmail Login
When you register with Cox, you will have an email account that you can use in managing your account.
The Email service comes free and it is included for all the packages that you get. Once subscribed, you will have 10 email accounts that all have their separate addresses and mailboxes. All the packages have 2GB storage for the internet while the Ultimate and Gigablast have 10 GB and 15 GB per mailbox respectively. However, the maximum size of the message you can send is 25 MB.
The email accounts will last as long as you use them, but once they are inactive or dormant for up to 180 days, it will either be inaccessible or deleted. When you terminate your contract with Cox, they will then delete your mailboxes including the messages within 90 days of disconnection.
