    Hi flambeau,

     I can certainly understand how frustrating intermittent problems can be. I work from home, so I understand the importance of having a reliable connection.  I agree resetting the modem is not always the answer, yet we want to help you find a resolution.  Can you please provide us with a few trace routes to the site tonight?  Be sure to send this data to us on Twitter at CoxHelp, on Facebook, or at cox.help@cox.com.  We also need your account details so that we may check your modem diagnostics.  

    We look forward to working with you.

I went to go stream tonight and of course, my OBS bandwidth test failed miserably - meaning I won't be doing any streaming whatsoever. I performed some traceroutes that show I am being timed out @  dalsbprj01-ae2.rd.dl.cox.net [68.1.5.134] . It's incredibly embarrassing to have this happen and have to explain to people that my network is too unstable and I can't stream. This has really put a damper on my recent mild success as a streamer on Twitch.

 

Here is the first traceroute to live.twitch.tv:

It wouldn't allow me to attach the .txt file. I sent an e-mail message to cox.help@cox.net

My Modem is an SB6190 32x8 Docsis 3.0 modem, on the approved list of Go Even Faster (500 Mbps) 3.0 modems.

I haven't had this issue until just recently. I went a long time without any problems whatsoever, and during certain time I have no issues with this modem.

    The issue persist on my brand new DOCSIS 3.1 modem (Hitron Coda-56) 

    I am doing new traceroutes for this modem. Here is one of the results:

        I have an open email thread with all the info added here on there. Sent a couple days ago and I'm assuming the weekend and volume of tickets has it backed up, or possibly they are still looking into it.
