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.

YMMV,

Chris Dempsey
