Where does Cox Communications stand on Net Neutrality?

Cox Communications provides Internet, Cable TV and phone bundles so it might not surprise you that they have traditionally opposed net neutrality. Net neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers should treat all content equally, not favoring one type of content or one provider over other content or provider.
Recently Ajit Pai, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission has said he will be getting rid of the net neutrality rules put into effect in 2015 by the Democratic led FCC. Back then pretty much all of the big ISPs opposed the rules. Cox Communications was one of them. And to be fair the rules are not perfect. The rules don't do anything about the privacy violations of the so called "edge providers" like Google and Facebook but maybe that is beyond the scope of "net neutrality" and should be addressed separately.
Stands to reason that as an Internet Service Provider, Cox Communications would still oppose the rules. It doesn't look like Cox Communications has publicly made a statement about net neutrality recently but the last one they made, earlier this year, was against net neutrality. In April, when Ajit Pai made a statement that he was looking at repealing the rules Cox was all for the repeal. Of course, since Cox is a provider of Internet, Cable TV and voice bundles, Cox will probably continue to give lip service to net neutrality while seeking to undermine it.

Cox Communications CEO Steps Down

After working for Cox Communications for pretty much all of his adult life, Cox President and CEO John Dyer will be stepping down at the end of 2017. Dyer was raised on a farm and worked at the Times Mirror when it was purchased by Cox. Cox currently provides High Speed Internet, Cable Television, phones, and smart home devices (called home automation) to more than 3 million customers. Cox is the third largest cable television company, just behind Comcast Xfinity and Charter Communications, including Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.

Dyer will be replaced by Alex Taylor, a member of the fourth generation of the Cox family from which the company gets its name. The company has just shy of 60,000 employees.

In addition to bundles including Cox Cable television, high speed internet and home phone, Cox also operates Cox Media Group which owns newspapers, (like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Radio stations and television stations and Cox Automotive that owns Auto Trader, Kelley Blue Book. Cox offers cable television under the name Contour television.
