Common questions about Cox Communications

How do I check if Cox Communications is available at my address?
Cox Communications is built out address by address, so a coverage map will not answer the question for a specific home — two houses on the same street can get different answers. Enter your street address in the checker on this page and FiberNear will confirm whether Cox Communications, or another fiber provider, can actually serve your location. It is free and there is no obligation.
Is Cox Communications fiber or cable?
Cox Communications is cable, not fiber to the home. Its network uses fiber for the long-haul portion and coaxial cable for the final run into the property — the industry calls this hybrid fiber-coaxial.
