Cox to Deploy Gigabit Service in Virginia

Cox Communications said it plans to begin offering gigabit broadband service in Chesapeake, Virginia, and other areas of the state. Chesapeake will be the first Virginia location where gigabit service will be available from Cox. The cable operator didn’t provide a specific timetable for the other in-state deployments. Cox began offering gigabit service in Phoenix earlier this month. Cox said Tuesday it anticipates deploying gigabit speeds in all of its targeted markets nationwide by the end of 2016.
