Free WiFi Access for Visitors

Cox’s outdoor Wi-Fi hotspot network is now open to the hundreds of thousands of visitors and guests who will be in Las Vegas for F1 and other events through November 26, 2024. Most Cox internet customers already have free access to the company’s Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the Southern Nevada service area and four million Cox Hotspots around the country.

Fastest Track Times

Like the world’s fastest sport, Cox provides lightning-fast speeds to fans. The big race is taking place in Las Vegas where Cox’s high-speed network includes 11,000 miles of fiber optic cable across the company’s Southern Nevada service area.

Why It Matters

Cox has invested more than $12 billion in network upgrades over the past ten years. Cox’s fiber-powered network allows Cox to offer multi-gig speeds across all markets.

Today, nearly 70 percent of Cox customers subscribe to speeds of 500 Mbps to 2 gigs to support their home connectivity and entertainment needs. Multi-gig internet is a broadband connection that can transfer data at up to 2 billion bits per second, twice as fast as traditional gigabit internet and 10 times faster than the average download speeds in the U.S. (about 200 Mbps). That means everything fast and all at once:

• Seamless streaming experience
• Multiple video conferences at once
• Multi-player gaming
• Multiple 4k/8k streams
• Virtual reality, and more

Reaching New Speeds

“It’s been a big year for Las Vegas, serving as host to several major sporting events,” said Janet Uthman, Market Vice President, of Cox Las Vegas. “Our team has been there every step of the way, supporting host venues, neighboring hotels, businesses, and residents in the market with high-speed, reliable internet ensuring they never miss a moment of the action.”
