More storage space available through Media Store and Share; Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee available in Spanish
CHESAPEAKE, Va., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications announced another round of enhancements to its high-speed Internet service, designed to make the broadband experience both safer and easier to use. In addition to 5GB of storage available through Media Store and Share at no charge, Cox now offers customers the ability to purchase 25GB of online storage. Additionally, Cox now offers its popular suite of security services in Spanish.
"Since we launched Media Store and Share last year, we've had great feedback from customers who use the service to save their favorite photos, videos and documents online and share them with others through an e-mail link," said Gary McCollum, Senior Vice President and General Manager Cox Hampton Roads.
Media Store and Share allows customers to manually transfer files from their computer into their online vault. PC users can also download a separate program that will automatically copy specified file types from the customer's computer into the storage vault on a regular basis -- providing essential online back-up. Media Store and Share also lets customers store music for personal use and create custom play-lists with their music files.
Cox High Speed Internet customers can also download a Spanish-language version of the Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee(R). This suite includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall protection and parental controls, backed by one of the most trusted names in online security. Valued at $69.99 per year, the security suite is free for all Cox High Speed Internet customers.
"We're committed to helping our broadband customers nationwide stay protected online, and that means providing tools that are easy to use," noted McCollum. "It made sense for us to offer the Cox Security Suite in Spanish as we're seeing an increasing number of Spanish-speaking customers in the regions we serve."
Cox High Speed Internet customers can download the Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee(R) at security.cox.net and they can set up and access the Media Store and Share service by logging into their primary Cox account through the Internet Tools link on www.cox.net.
