My experience has been to stick with Cox, which has proved to be more reliable than AT&T. I live on Warren and have fiber through Cox, installed a couple of years ago, and get gigabit speed for 69.99/mo (no cable or other service).

Cox is installing more fiber optic cable today along Madison Ave. between Warren and Lincoln, which caused a small, temporary drop in service around 10am this morning. But it's all fine now.

We also have 5G access through the Verizon network put in two years ago--which we don't use, since we have T-Mobile. Still, internet access is not a problem in this part of Lakewood.

Cox doesn’t offer fiber to the home. They offer a fiber to the node service, with cable service to the home. This is not equivalent, as it maxes at 1Gb down and has severely capped upload speeds (IIRC it’s a sad 35Mb), versus FiOS which is 1:1 speeds. Cox also has data caps. It’s also mad expensive… I’m paying $160/m for 300/30 speeds and an unlimited plan, versus $80/m for 1000/1000 and unlimited on Fiber.

I was on AT&T Fiber for years before buying a new home and being stuck with Cox. It just takes me back to my years in NC on TWC. I have experienced so many issues since moving to this home a year ago. You will never convince me that any cable plan is better than FiOS.
