ISP raises service tiers speeds.

cox communications in the US is raising its speeds.

its first tier is currently 128kbits download/upload but it expects to raise this to 256kbits download/upload for the $24.95 no extra charge.

the companys second tier is 3mbits download 256kbits upload is being raised to 4mbits download then 512kbits upload, the price is only an unchanged $39.95, if purchased without an additional service $49.95.

Quote:

Its fastest service is being upgraded from 4 mbps download speed and 354 kbps upload speed to 5 mbps download and 768 kbps upload. The cost for that service was $60 to $80 a month, depending on the location. It will now be $54.95 as part of a bundled package,

cox only has 2.2 million subscribers.

It is, as you say, only Central London (atm), but it is a residential service, and only ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 month (ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20 for the first three !).

Re: ISP raises service tiers speeds.

However, now they have C&W backing them they may have the money to roll out quicker. They are still doing better than most other ISP's (in fact the only other LLU is Easynet) Can't see Wanadoo, Tiscali et al unbundling any time soon. :(
