"By providing its customers with feature-rich Internet packages at a low price, Cox Communications shows that it understands the effect the economy is having on customers."

The Award recognizes Cox for providing a variety of Internet options for customers, ranging from the Economy/Starter package, which provides a low-cost, simple solution to get customers online, to Ultimate Internet services.

"We recognize customers have different needs from their Internet service provider. Some simply need an easy, affordable way to get online and others are looking for the fastest speeds and latest features," stated Gary McCollum, Cox Senior Vice President and General Manager. "We strive to meet those needs and provide all our customers excellent value - which is evidenced by this award."

The Frost & Sullivan Award is based on a number of criteria important to customers, including responsiveness to customer needs, enhanced quality and reliability of products and technological innovation and leadership.
