Ninety-six percent of Cox's 10.2 million homes passed can receive two-way advanced services including Cox High Speed Internet and Cox Digital Cable. In addition, Cox Digital Telephone is available to four in 10 Cox homes, with the footprint growing every year. Further, we're developing new advanced services, including entertainment on demand, high-definition TV, digital video recording, voice over IP telephony, home networking and gaming services, that can be delivered over our powerful broadband networks. Companywide, 90% of our 115,000 miles of broadband plant is upgraded to a 750 MHz hybrid-fiber-coax platform, offering the highest performance and reliability. Today, Cox serves 6.3 million basic cable customers. In addition, at the end of 2002, those customers had nearly 4 million subscriptions - or revenue generating units (RGUs) - of the company's major advanced services. The chart above shows the growth in advanced-service RGUs over the past three years. Cox Digital Telephone is a critical piece of Cox's bundle of advanced services, and one that helps further distinguish Cox from its peers and competitors. More than 718,000 customers choose Cox for their phone service, making and receiving an average of 24 million calls a day. Thanks to Cox's integrated billing and service platform, those customers are ensured a convenient, efficient customer care experience. |
