Cox Communications has announced it will double the speeds for its most popular Cox High Speed Internet packages in Arkansas. Customers who subscribe to the company’s Preferred package will see their speeds increase from 25 Mbps to 50 Mbps. Speeds for subscribers of the Premier package will increase from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps. The new speeds automatically go into effect by July 18.

With speeds as fast as 150Mbps, Cox is continuing to provide its customers the fastest speeds in Arkansas. The increased speeds come on the heels of the company’s announced plans to offer Gigabit speeds to all customers by 2017.

“Our customers tell us that speed matters,” stated Kim Rowell, market leader of Cox Communications in Arkansas. “We know this is especially important in today’s connected world where more and more devices are connected through in-home WiFi networks. We will continue to invest in our network to bring our customers the best online experience possible.”

Cox customers with the Preferred or higher package also have access to more than 250,000 WiFi hotspots when they travel so they can stay connected on-the-go.

The higher speeds greatly increase as customers move up the packages Cox offers. Choosing the best package as well as the right modem equipment will provide the fastest Internet and strongest wireless signals to all the devices they use. Customers interested in experiencing the new Internet speeds should visit the company’s high speed Internet website or a local Cox Solutions Store to test speeds for themselves.
