Cox Communications has announced that they will bring Cox gig internet, TV, phone, and home security and automation services, as well as business services to nearly 3,000 residents and businesses in Oracle and San Manuel. Projected service availability late 2023.
Cox has begun engineering, construction design and necessary permitting for its fiber-based network and will be working with state and county officials to obtain necessary approvals. Residents in Oracle and San Manuel will soon see work commencing in their community and can visit https://www.cox.com/getfiber to obtain status updates and express interest in Cox services.
“Reliable high speed broadband service is critical, especially in rural Pinal County. We look forward to working with Cox Communications to expand service to families and businesses in Oracle and San Manuel,” said Chairman Jeffrey McClure, Pinal County Board of Supervisors.
Expansion in Oracle and San Manuel is part of an overall Cox commitment to a multibillion-dollar annual infrastructure investment over the next several years to build a 10-Gigabit capable, fiber-based network that will power the next generation of internet users. Expanded fiber to the premise combined with breakthrough enhancements to cable’s broadband DOCSIS 4.0 technology will enable Cox to deliver multi-Gigabit symmetrical speeds in the coming years to both residential and business customers to support a growing host of high bandwidth applications. Cox recently announced additional Arizona expansion projects in the cities of Maricopa, Black Canyon City, Congress, Huachuca City, Sun Lakes, SE Sierra Vista and Summit View.
“Connectivity is at the heart of everything we do. Our Arizona team has been focused on providing the most powerful high-speed internet, TV, phone, and home security and automation services, as well as growing business offerings. We are excited to expand our availability in Pinal County and bring these important services to the residents of Oracle and San Manuel. This is all part of our commitment to expand broadband availability to more unserved and underserved Arizona communities, said Percy Kirk, Senior Vice President and Southwest Regional Manager, Cox Communications.
Building upon its multibillion-dollar annual investment in its network, Cox is committed to expanding its footprint to reach underserved and rural communities in Arizona where such expansions make sense. These efforts will allow Cox to provide reliable internet service, as well as affordable internet options to address the digital divide in all the communities served.
“We are happy to partner with the Pinal County Supervisors and local officials and will make every effort to minimize the construction impact where and when we can,” said Susan Anable, Cox Southwest Vice President of Government and Public Affairs. “Our Cox teams will work closely with Pinal County officials and very much appreciate their partnership as we start our work!”
Cox will make every effort to communicate the expansion and progress of their work with residents through local media, and direct communications from Cox.
