Introducing Cox Gigablast

Just having the meter available would be good enough, as far as I'm concerned. I know there wouldn't be any actual tools that would work with customer owned routers, but I didn't have that available when I was on coax before Gigablast. I already have some tools and such in my Asus router that can help me diagnose network issues. Just having the meter would work more as a 'red flag' that things may need to be checked further. I hope meter availability comes fairly soon. :)

Next question...exactly where are the servers that host Cox Cloud? I know there is a difference between connection speed and transfer speed, but uploading to Cox Cloud is very slow (considering I have Gigablast). Using the Drag and Drop Backup app, the graph that shows up when trying to transfer a file was showing well over 2 hours for a 2GB zip file (single zip file, not multiple files) to upload. I am testing this on a completely hardwired setup (PC - router - ONT). When I run various speed tests (including on Cox's website), upload and download speeds are 800-900 Mbps, so connection speeds are good and right in line with Gig speeds.

When trying to upload the same file using a web browser through my Cox account (instead of the Drag and Drop App), I get an error message that the file is too large and cannot upload. This seems a bit silly to control file uploading in this manner, especially considering with Gigablast, you get 1TB of storage space. Why are we being limited on the size of a given single file? Many people use zip utilities to create a single file, instead of trying to upload multiple individual files. Not only does it make the transfer faster, but it allows the files to be encrypted and password protected.
