Cox Rolls DOCSIS 3.0 Into Northern Virginia
'Ultimate Internet' Package Offers Up 50 Mbps Downstream

Cox Communications is expanding its top-speed broadband service -- with up to 50 Mbps downstream -- to residential and business customers in Northern Virginia.
The operator is offering the DOCSIS 3.0-based Ultimate Internet service, which provides 5 Mbps upstream, in Fairfax County and Fredericksburg, Va., markets. Standard price for the residential Ultimate Internet package will be $139.99 per month, with an introductory rate of $109 per month.
By offering a 50-Mbps tier, Cox will be able to compete head-to-head with Verizon's FiOS Internet service, which currently markets the same maximum download speeds.
Cox last month launched DOCSIS 3.0-based service in Lafayette Parish, La. The operator said it plans to offer Ultimate Internet to several additional markets by the end of 2009, and to more than two-thirds of its footprint in 2010.
"Our customers have said they want an online experience that allows them to do more, do it faster and on a network they trust. DOCSIS 3.0 lets them do that," Cox Northern Virginia general manager Janet Barnard said in a statement.

The business version of Cox's 50-Mbps service includes five dynamic or static IP address, domain-name hosting, the ability to support servers and 24/7 technical support. When bundled with other Cox services, the 50-Mbps business service is priced between $200 and $300 depending on the length of contract.
