In its recently released 2024 annual review, HighSpeedInternet.com(HSI) ranked Cox as the fastest ISP in the nation based on average download speeds for all of 2023. Cox claimed the top spot by delivering average year-long download speeds of 238 Mbps across the country, a full 10 Mbps ahead of its nearest competitor.

“As consumers continue to introduce more connected devices in their homes, the need for fast fiber-powered broadband becomes increasingly important,” said Caryn Frey, Cox’s Middle Georgia market vice president. “Validating our capabilities with a respected third-party partner reinforces our message to customers that we can deliver the fiber-powered reliable speeds they need now and well into the future.”

Cox has invested nearly $12B in network upgrades over the past 10 years (2014-2023) to deliver some of the most powerful communications and entertainment services and will continue making multibillion-dollar annual infrastructure investments over the next several years:

• All Cox markets are powered by fiber today and we continue to expand fiber-to-the-home across our footprint in the coming years. 

• Today, all Cox customers have access to gig speeds and approximately half have access to multi-gig speeds.

• Cox increased download speeds for the majority of our customers in 2023, doubling the speed of its most popular tier from 250 to 500 Mbps at no extra cost; nearly 70% of our customers now have speeds of half a gig or more. 

Internet users seeking to measure the speed of their connected devices while at home can do so via HSI’s website tool or by downloading the speed testing app, available via the Apple App Store and Google Play.

“Our Speed Test sets the standard for millions of Americans seeking greater insight into their internet connection. With millions of tests conducted in our 2024 Annual Review, HighSpeedInternet.com has the unique capability to examine speeds for internet users from coast to coast,” said Manuel Delgado, Managing Director at HighSpeedInternet.com. “As technologies and ISP infrastructures improve, it is impressive to see Cox emerge as the fastest broadband provider in the U.S. this year in our comprehensive analysis."
