Increased Internet Traffic - New Orleans

The Cox mobile app has been displaying at Increased Internet Traffic that is "affecting the consistent delivery of services to your home" for about two weeks.

And it has been inconsistent.  What is going on?

    If you are receiving that message from the app WiderMouthOpen is correct about node congestion. That would mean a network issue has been identified in your area that may be causing intermittent service interruptions. Our teams are currently working towards a resolution. The primary account holder can see outage alerts and updates through our Cox App from their smartphone or tablet anytime, anywhere.

      Can you provide a few more details and your email freezing and are you experiencing this on webmail or a 3rd party client?

    jonathanj What is the fix for “node congestion”? How long does it take? Does it require permit approval from the city? Any info is appreciated to help me understand an issue that is impacting areas outside of New Orleans, too.

      We're unable to provide the information you seek regarding node utilization and split status/planning.
      That's not information made available to support teams like ours. If you are currently having any issues we are happy to investigate. Simply email your full name and complete address to cox.help@cox.com. This will allow us to check your modem signal levels.
