ATLANTA – August 28, 2007 – Cox Business (http://www.coxbusiness.com/index.html ) announced today that it has made its debut in the top tier of U.S. business Ethernet providers, according to Vertical System Group's latest marketing analysis. The company attributes its success to its long history of delivering Ethernet services to customers served by fiber and hybrid fiber coax (HFC).

Vertical Systems Group's findings are evidence of enterprises widespread acceptance of Ethernet services. Across the Cox footprint, a variety of businesses, from healthcare and school districts to government, real estate and financial organizations, are embracing metro Ethernet to better utilize one pipe for multiple services. "Cox's Metro Ethernet delivers more bandwidth to better meet our current network requirements while giving us ample room to meet future needs," said Aaron Houser, vice president of American Interstate Bank in Omaha, Nebraska. "An important difference with Cox," notes Houser, "is the personal attention provided by Cox. Not only was Cox proactive in ensuring we were prepared to switch over, but the Cox staff is always knowledgeable and accessible."

"Our customers count on us to deliver next generation customized services for their network," said Kristine Faulkner, vice president of product development and management for Cox Business. "We are proud of the role we play in meeting customers needs locally while collaborating with industry associations, such as the Metro Ethernet Forum, to continue to enhance the customer experience."
