The local phone company, whatever name they are calling themselves these
days, rolled out their fiber service in my older neighborhood (alma
school and warner area in chandler).
I used to have a horrible time with cox much as you describe but then I
realized that I was still running a DOCSIS 2 cable modem and immediately
upgraded to an 8 up 4 down DOCSIS 3 modem and I haven't had a single
problem since. My download speed is now ridiculously fast and
consistent and my VOIP home phone service has never even had so much as
a blip even with downloading server torrents at once. Uplink speeds
seem to be mostly limited by the destination and regularly hit 1 to 2 or
more Megabytes per second.

I've worked with Cox as an ISP in the past, I won't work with them again
if I can avoid it. I do enough sys admin stuff and prefer to use a VOIP
setup at my house so uplink speed is as important to me as downlink and
Cox's packet shaping and uplink throttling gave me more headaches than
vascular dilation.
