San Diego won’t be among the first cities where Cox Communications begins deploying super high speed Internet service.
The Atlanta-based company said last week that new residential projects and some existing neighborhoods in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Omaha, Neb., would be the first to see upgrades that would power 1 gigabit per second Internet speeds to homes.
At that speed, a household could download a high-definition movie in less than a minute.
Cox, the largest cable operator in San Diego County, said it will begin network upgrades that would allow gigabit speeds in all the cities it serves nationwide by the end of 2016. The company has about 500,000 subscribers locally.
