Cox Communications' delivery of high speed Internet, digital phone and cable television over the same broadband network was the first of its kind. That happened back in 1997. They had already been delivering Internet and cable television.
Cox Communications can trace back it roots to 1898 when James Cox purchased the Dayton Daily News. James ran the company for more than 50 years. His son, James Jr. took over the company in 1957. They branched into cable TV in 1962 and high speed Internet in 1996. Cox is the third-largest cable television provider and the seventh-largest telephone carrier.
Cox Communications currently offers home security and automation in addition to Cox digital video, telephone and Internet. Bundles of Cox Internet and video services can be purchased with two or more services for extra savings.
The company was a pioneer in offering such products as HDTV (high-definition television) and DVRs (digital video recorders) with on-demand viewing. Cox Communications serves more then 6 million customers. They are headquartered in Atlanta Georgia.
