ATLANTA - Cox Communications announced today that it received its fourth PC Magazine Readers' Choice Award for its Cox High Speed Internetsm service. The award is based on an online survey that included responses from more than 800 Cox High Speed Internet customers nationwide.
“It's an honor to have our customers recognize us with this award four times,” stated David Pugliese, vice president of product marketing for Cox. “We are especially proud that so many of our customers say they're likely to recommend Cox High Speed Internet to others.”
The PC Magazine survey asks readers to rate their Internet Service Provider in each of ten categories, including speed, reliability, customer service and technical support. Participants evaluated their ISP on a 1-10 scale of poor to excellent. Some highlights include:
"We've worked hard to make sure we're giving customers the speed and features they want, with enhancements like PowerBoost, integrated WebMail and the free Cox Security Suite," stated Seth Hogan, Cox's vice president of data product management. "We'll continue to listen to our customers to ensure we're offering them the products and services they need to make their lives easier."
