It probably depends on what part of town you’re in.
I’m in N. Scottsdale, and they (CenturyLink) is supposedly bringing gigabit

Anyway, it seems that the UL speeds for residential are half or less than the
DL speeds these days. It used to be 10:1, so 2:1 is a

Cox support is by far the worst part of
using their service. I have an outage about every 3-4 years due
to the sun baking my coax outside, which is somewhat normal, and

I have had pretty decent experiences when connecting with their customer
service. Lots of red tape like hoops to jump through however.
