1. "Is "gigapower" their gimmick term for fiber optics? " In response to In response to 0
Funnily enough, I'm actually ditching Cox (after being a customer over 5 years at two addresses) this weekend and the DirecTV/ATT installer is coming on Saturday. Cutting $55 off my bill for just internet/TV (fuck a landline) and bumping up my internet d/u speeds to 75/75.
Besides the price, the biggest selling point for me was going from Cox's cable line to ATT's recently installed fiber optics in my area. I received an email if I have interest in Google Fiber some time ago but I have an inkling I'm just outside the range for their Irvine installation.
I'll let you know how it goes. If I were you though, DSL is brutal and I'd explore any means possible to get off it.
