Community Economic Impact

Cox Gainesville/Ocala employs nearly 200 people in the two communities with a 2000 payroll of more than $6.5 million. In addition, the company has budgeted to make purchases locally in support of operations in excess of $5 million and has a local tax bill (ad valorem and state) in excess of $700,000. But these are only part of the impact Cox has on the community. 

More Technology, More Reliability, More Choices!

Cox Communications Gainesville/Ocala is committed to providing our customers the very best in programming and in signal quality. We recently completed a $40 million dollar upgrade allowing us to operate on a 750 MHz broadband spectrum which is fully two-way (allowing signals to be received by Cox from the customer) and is a hybrid fiber optic/coaxial system. This upgrade also resulted in:

• The addition of 17 standard channels to the Cox Basic Lineup.
• The addition of Cox Digital Cable offering more than 150 channels including five different program tiers, 27 multiplex channels of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Starz and Encore, 41 channels of iNDEMAND pay per view movies and events, 45 channels of digital CD quality music and season ticket packages for NBA basketball, NCAA football and basketball and NHL hockey.
• The addition of Cox Express high speed cable modem access available to all Cox customers across the system

The combined capital investment of new plant build outs, equipment and the upgrade total $75 million spent by Cox Communications over the past three years in its North Central Florida system.
