Congestion Management FAQs

Updated 1/27/2009

In February, Cox will begin testing a new method of managing traffic on our
high-speed Internet network in our Kansas and Arkansas markets. During the
occasional times the network is congested, this new technology automatically
ensures that all time-sensitive Internet traffic - such as web pages, voice
calls, streaming videos and gaming - moves without delay. Less
time-sensitive traffic, such as file uploads, peer-to-peer and Usenet
newsgroups, may be delayed momentarily - but only when the local network is
congested. Our goal is to ensure that customers continue to experience the
consistently fast, reliable Internet service they've come to expect from
Cox.
