Cox Increases Mailbox Size To Hold 10x More Emails, Send More Photos & Video
Atlanta, GA

ATLANTA - February 22, 2005 - Cox Communications today announced a free email enhancement for all Cox High Speed Internet users: more email storage and sending capacity. Effective today, Cox email boxes automatically hold 10 times more mail than before. With 100 MB of storage space, users can easily store and manage their incoming messages and also send larger attachments, such as video and digital photos, within the body of just one email.

 

"Today's enhancements are yet another example of how Cox is continuously adding value to our high-speed Internet customers," said Steve Gorman, vice president product management and marketing for Cox High Speed Internet. "We are pleased to be able to reward our customers with an automatic upgrade to simplify the Internet experience and clearly distinguish the Cox High Speed Internet experience from other competitive offerings."

Today's enhancements mark the second complimentary upgrade Cox has recently provided to Cox High Speed Internet customers, following faster speed upgrades that were automatically turned on in recent months (see http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=76341&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=602519&). Similar to the recent speed increases, today's email enhancements are also automatic and require no action from the user. Cox notified its customers today of the upgrade and included useful information on email storage through an electronic communication sent to all Cox High Speed Internet mailboxes.
