It's $20 off for six months for me, plus $5 off for using their phone 
product. The 2Mb cap is non-existant, real world upload is just under 5Mb. 
Funny thing is that the "normal" package subscribers report DL as good as 
premier accounts. Tons of bandwith here in the Washington DC area for the 
taking.

Yeah. According to this page:
http://www.cox.com/Fairfax/HighSpeedInternet/premier.asp
it is 15/2 in Fairfax, for $55/mo. You on the $20 off for 3 months promo?

NOVA and DC are the two places I knew for certain Cox was offering 15/2. 
They're pushing 9/1 in other competitive areas around the country.

Major turnaround for NOVA, though. For years the laughing stock of the 
broadband community...and now there are tiers as high or higher than 
anywhere else.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2003 called....

Cable and phone companies are giving bandwidth away these days. Thank 
goodness for FIOS (not that I would ever touch anything from Verizon) - 
their precense made Cox drop my broadband bill to 29.99 and upped my 
download to 15Mb/s and uploads to 5Mb/s.

5GB of data if seeded decently is about 3-4 hours on average, sometimes 
much, much quicker.



15/5 for $30? Where are you at? I knew Cox was offering 15/2 for $55 
(with a 3-month $20 off promotion) in select (read: FIOS competition) 
markets, 9/1 in many others, but even Verizon 15/2 is $80/mo...and I've 
only seen 5mbit up on Verizon's 30/5 package, for $180/mo.

15/5 for $30 seems highly suspect.
