Tucson residents often ask how satellite internet compares to traditional cable providers. This real-world comparison looks at Starlink vs Cox in Tucson using actual Speedtest results and monthly costs.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Starlink can compete with a traditional cable provider like Cox, you’re not alone. With more households working from home, streaming in 4K, and running smart-home devices, internet performance and reliability matter more than ever — and so does the monthly bill.
Below is a side-by-side comparison of actual Speedtest results and pricing: Cox at $170/month (their best offering) vs Starlink at $120/month (also offers an $80/month plan).
When you live 5 miles out of town and seemingly in the middle of no where because the cable companies don’t want to reach that far, your options are limited. This comparison is of little use to those people.
