Businesses in Suffolk now have access to leading-edge technology with fast, reliable broadband-based services after Cox Business recently invested more than $3.5 million to lay nearly 30 miles of fiber in the city. With business-class support, Cox Business will now be able to provide broadband solutions to approximately 1,500 businesses of all sizes with fiber internet including cloud solutions as well as phone services in Suffolk. Businesses will have access to dedicated fiber-optic Internet with speed connections up to 100 Gbps.
“Suffolk is excited to have Cox Business services now available for businesses throughout the entire city,” said Suffolk Mayor Michael Duman. “The investment from Cox to provide broadband internet and phone support to 1,500 businesses is extremely important as a huge part of any business now is done online and through phones. We are grateful for Cox expanding this service through Suffolk and look forward to the opportunity this provides Suffolk businesses.”
Cox currently serves 11 cities in the Hampton Roads area with business and residential services in addition to recently adding service to businesses in Suffolk. This is just part of the recently announced $100+ million investment Cox has planned for the Hampton Roads region over the next 3 years to ensure businesses and residents have access to the technology they need to succeed now and into the future. With access to the trans-Atlantic cable system as well as smart city applications, Cox is bolstering the region’s data ecosystem.
“We’re thrilled to equip businesses in Suffolk, and the entire Hampton Roads region, with the reliable services they need to be at their best for their customers,” said Thom Watkins, vice president of Cox Business in Virginia. “With scaleable technology solutions, we partner with the smallest mom and pop shops to large enterprise customers to provide services that can grow with them as they do while ensuring peace of mind knowing we’ve got their technology needs covered.”
