2 major valley ISP providers are on the list, both Cox and Century Link. Very impressive results from Cox:

Netflix Reveals Fastest - And Slowest - Video Streaming ISPs

Another analysis of the same data that shows smaller ISP's like Google Fiber in another list, which hopefully might be another competitor in the valley one day:

Cox still stacks up very well though I think competition is always a good thing in the valley and elsewhere.

A discussion came up in another thread about cable vs DSL performance in the valley. Here's an interesting result:

"Notably, eight out of the fastest ISPs in the U.S. rely on cable, with Verizon FIOS being the lone exception."

Here's the source data from Netflix these articles reference:

USA ISP Speed Index Results| Netflix ISP Speed Index

You can select graph view on any provider in the list, go back a number of years/compare speed over the years, etc. I looked at Cox back several years and they've been consistently 1 or 2. This data backs up my experience with Cox as a fast/consistent ISP in the valley.

No I don't work for Cox or any ISP for that matter.

Hope this data helps some people who are shopping(and have a choice) for an ISP in the valley or are just curious.

I share your praise of Cox's high-speed internet. Their TV service leaves a lot to be desired, but you really can't beat them for internet.

Co-signed. I couldn't dump their TV service fast enough but their internet service has been top notch in my experience.
