Cox Communications will double the speeds of two services – ConnectAssist and Connect2Compete—from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps on March 31. The cable company also said that it is participating in the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). More than 500,000 are enrolled in the two Cox programs and will receive the higher speeds at no additional costs, Cox said. The ACP provides $30 towards broadband service for low-income households. The amount is $75 on Tribal lands. Cox said that applying the $30 subsidy will enable more subscribers to get the 100 Mbps service for free.
