I was under the impression that Cox@Home was no longer taking customers. That is the message they have been delivering in the Santa Barbara, CA area. Regardless, I have had a fair experience with Cox. How busy your neighbors are will determine your bandwidth, as it is pooled between everyone in your immediate neighborhood. Also, at this time (at least in CA) Cox@home is blocking incoming requests to ports 80 and 25, rendering primary applications of my server useless. You may have better luck with Cox@work, which for a few dollars more gives you static IP numbers, and no blocked ports.
