I live if Fairfax, Va. If this cox@work that you speak of is the same thing as Cox Business Service (CBS), then I can I say I that signed up for a 128/128 cable modem connection, they had it hooked up less than 5 days from the order and I have had no service problems since. There is definitely less initial latency with this connection, but it does not burst as fast as the 1.5MB road runner connection that I had through them. They don't care what OS you have, they support everything up to the modem, you can get more IP if need be...
