“Cox will extend service to new subscribers upon request, for homes located in areas in which there is an average of 20 homes per mile along the public right-of-way,” Roinestad said. “Only homes within 300 feet of the right-of-way will be counted. Cox will charge its standard installation rate for all subscribers located within 200 feet of the right-of-way.”
“We want this to end up as close in terms of the Comcast agreement,” Roinestad said. “We felt [that] it was precedent with both of our other franchise providers [Comcast and Verizon] going into those negotiations and at the end of the day I feel we ended up with such an agreement.”
“Cox will pay the county an annual grant of $0.20 per subscriber per month,” Roinestad said. “This grant will be used to purchase equipment to support the public, educational and government (PEG) access channels, and related capital needs. This is the same fee paid by Comcast and Verizon. Cox will also provide three channels on its system for carrying PEG channels.”
“Cox was more than willing to get the word out about discounted broadband services to students under the free and reduced lunch program,” Roinestad said.
“At the end of the day I feel and the TCC feels that this will serve the residents of Stafford county well,” Roinestad said. “I can’t remember any time during my time w/ the TCC anyone came in and address had an issue with cox in terms of service and infrastructure. Any questions we’ve had with Cox has been answered in an exponential manner.”
