When I switched to Business a tech came out (I think he was a
contractor) and checked some levels. He explained it but I have since
forgotten what he said. I recall being close to the limit of not
qualifying. But is was good enough. My house was not wired for cox and
there was no port. They had to run it new when I moved in, in 2010.
There are six houses on the box I connect to and there was only 5 ports.
I was the last to connect.....

Back when I worked there early 2000's and took over the network from
@home, we'd begun, at times forcibly, to get the business services
installers to refurb the site more than normal contractors might for
"just video". Mainly if there were even borderline issues, we pushed
them to clean things up up front, replacing buried cable with
conduits, old coax, bad feeders, etc. Helped a lot when we trained
them to treat it more like a data circuit than an analog video
connection where data path sensitivity was far more necessary, and
seems pretty standard those guys have a good QAM meter when coming
on-site.
Not sure how it is now for later installs, but I'd like to think good
habits hold true, especially since internet and video are all data
connections.
I would think they probably fixed up some of your house cabling when
moving to business, fix old splitters and direct runs, but really
nothing upstream with the network changes with going from res to
business.
If you don't need same day on-site support for an outage on premise,
or open ports for http/smtp, then residential is often more than
adequate.

I had consumer Cox for maybe 8 years. I would occasionally experience
some downtime. I moved to Cox Business maybe 4 years ago. Less down
time. I work out of my house so the network did not changes, or maybe
the immediate network did not change. I am able to run a server,
which I do not... but did for a short time... Long Story....
Speed is ok. Occasionally things will slow. Who knows why?
I cannot tell you if there is any downtime in the middle of the night.
Maybe I'll move back to consumer.
