Cox Communications has begun rolling out faster versions of its cable Internet service to compete with increased speeds from Comcast and Verizon's FiOS, as well as a cheaper plan to fend off low-cost DSL. Cox customers will now see up to 15Mbps download speeds.

It would be nice if the upstream went up too. I would like to see at the very least 1.5 Mbps.

I have the preferred package and right now it's 5Mb/2Mb. The only thing I don't like is that you aren't always getting the advertised speed, but it is faster and cheaper than the DSL packages from Verizon.
