Stop Renting! How to Save Money on Your Internet Bill

If you are a Cox Internet user, you might be paying more than you need to every single month. Many households rent their internet equipment (the router) directly from Cox, but there is a much more cost-effective way to stay connected.

The True Cost of Renting

Did you know that Cox typically charges between $13 and $15 every month just to use their equipment? That adds up to an extra $156–$180 per year on top of your standard internet fee.

The best money-saving tip we can offer is to buy your own equipment for a one-time fee. This eliminates the monthly rental charge and reduces your annual expenses.

Understanding the Basics (Without the Jargon)

Before you shop, it helps to know the difference between the two main components of your home network:

• Modem: This device allows you to connect to the Cox internet signal.

• Router: This device takes that signal and provides Wi-Fi throughout your house.

For the simplest setup, we recommend looking for a modem with built-in Wi-Fi (a modem/router combo). This single device connects you to Cox, provides Wi-Fi to all your devices, and involves just one upfront purchase with no recurring rental fees.
