Any broadband internet will work. The service is not tied to any provider.

The only issue is that some aspects of the service (specifically being allowed to have as many streams as you want on your home network) depend on your ISP not changing you home network's address (at least more than very rarely).  Some ISPs are very good about that, others quite bad - I have no idea about Cox.  I'm not sure how (other than maybe asking on the service's own user community) whether that is an issue for a particular ISP.

DIRECTV STREAM, just like other streaming services, is not tied to one specific internet provider. As long as you don't deal with data caps, you should be fine in general.

Just find out if you have a static or dynamic IP address with them (stays the same or changes every so often). This is because when the IP address changes, the service thinks you're using in a new location which affects number of streams.
