What provider Ghost? I have 22 down/5 up from Comcast. I'm satisfied with those speeds, but would look into upgrading. What's the monthly plan too?

We don't get Cox here. Comcast pretty much has the whole market for Cable Internet in Chicagoland. They've had a 50 mb service for a while, but it's around $149.99 a month. I'll stick with the 22mb service until they lower the price on the 50 mb service. I pay enough for internet and cable as it is.

COX and Comcast are one and the same. Different names but if you look at COX's fine print it looks like they are using Comcasts cable.

Interesting. Comcast's 50 mb service came out almost 2 years ago if memory serves. I wonder why it took so long for Cox to offer it? When did Comcast buy them out?

[Crusty_Demons]

Can't say for sure they don't necessarily have to be bought out to be using the same infrastructure. T mobile uses Verizons cell service but sells it like it's their own.
