Hi all, just wondering if anyone can speak from experience as to whether they're getting the advertised connection speed from either of these companies.
I've been using Cox's 12Mbps service for 3+ years, and never see downstream speeds greater than 1.5Mbps anywhere other than speedtest.net, and that's a rare peak. Speedtest shows 9-10Mbps with nearby servers, but I never see a fraction of those speeds when downloading or streaming.
I want to trim my internet bill, but I'm wondering what I can really expect. If Cox's 3Mbps plan performs like their 12Mbps plan, I'd be looking at dial-up speeds :/ I do use Hulu quite a bit, and occasionally play online games, and I've read about AT&T service elsewhere being unstable or intermittent.
Thank you for any info.

Re: AT&T vs. Cox 3Mbps internet
AT&T's speeds seem ok to me - they register around what I pay for on the speed testing sites. I don't do a ton of downloading but we seem ok with running TV/Internet on three machines/wireless at the same time without problems. Have not had Internet service outages that I had to call them about yet, had them since around 2003ish. That being said, their Internet/TV service is probably pricier than Cox's - I don't use a voice service, I just use my cell.

Jeremy - Have you called Cox Tech Support regarding your speeds?
