I had heard rumors, or stories from a friend of a friend that Cox Communications would be upgrading their two top end residential internet tiers.  So naturally I took this news with a grain of salt until last night when I received a plain old snail mail letter from Cox.  Basically the letter said price for service was going up (nothing new there) and that the Preferred Service Tier was going to 12Mbps while the Premier Service Tier is going to 20Mbps.  The faster speeds shoud be really nice when coupled with speedboost.  The letter stated the the new speeds would be hitting in the coming weeks.  I don't know exactly how long a coming weeks is supposed to be, but I figure within a month or so we should see them hit.
