Cox High Speed Internet

            Internet without a phone line…that’s right!!!  Though there are many different kinds of High Speed Internet out there, I have chosen Cox to illustrate my abstract.  Basically, you purchase a special high speed modem which hooks up into your cable much like a television.  This is up to 100 times faster than dial up internet in some cases!!!  I believe that high speed internet is well worth the cost, as it is about $40.00 a month.  With Cox, you never have to connect to the internet, it is always on!!! It is becoming increasingly popular, as people have become reliant on it at their workplace, school, etc and realize that dial up is just too slow for what they are used to.  I think that not tying up the phone line is worth it too, because I remember when we had dial up and could not accept phone calls because it was busy, and that was bothersome to myself and my parents.  This allows you to download many songs very fast, access websites quickly, etc.  It comes with features such as virus protection, up to 7 email addresses, Parental controls for protection, and other features.  Other options are DSL, which is faster internet dialup, and other high speed internets like Clear Wire.  I would recommend Cos to anyone and everyone.  I have it at my house and I would not have it any other way, unless they came out with something faster.  If you are interested, the information is very clear and accessible on the website.  You can call the 1-800 number for information on this service as well.  Another thing that I like about this service is that it has 24-7 Customer Service representatives available, so anytime you have problems you can talk to someone about fixing the problem.  SO GO HIGH SPEED, OR GO HOME!!!
