Sprint would compare to mid speed DSL but Cox supposedly has higher speeds. I just signed up so haven't really measured performance as a whole yet. But yes, there is no real competition in many areas - even in the city here in Arizona for high speed internet service. Example: my phone does not qualify for any kind of DSL because of distance factors so all DSL options are off the table for me. And there is no competition at all in the cable business.
