Cox confirmed last week that some 200,000 cable Net subscribers in Las Vegas, Gainsville, Fla., and smaller markets missed out on its recent speed increases. Those customers will probably have to wait until the end of the year for their turn.
The lagging customers are apparently on older cable networks, purchased by Cox recently, that can't yet support the higher speeds.
