Cox Technological Advances

In 1989, Cox was one of the first companies to begin deploying fiber optics.

Today, Cox ranks #1 in the industry for system reliability, with an uptime of 99.98%, and our unique Ring-in-Ring architecture will improve that statistic even more. We're also a leader in the testing and deployment of new services. To find out more, read on.
