Packet loss due to upstream channels dropping
I've been getting outages due to the upstream dropping out on my internet connection for more than 6 months now. Downloads, watching streams, podcasts, hearing and seeing people on voice/video calls and are fine if they've already started. Uploads drop, voice/video calls break up for listeners, website requests take forever, games get disconnected. Modem upstream during packet loss: Bottom row with red question marks is packet loss. Other rows are just hops which sometimes don't respond (`mtr one.one.one.one`): I can't even get a screenshot without packet loss over the past few hours. I've rebooted my modem. I have a new cable and connectors from the box outside directly to my modem 2 times over. I've upgraded my modem 2 times and now have one of the best (MG8702) if not the best one supported by Cox. I've had several techs out to troubleshoot the issue. Some of them have replaced the same cable or connector as previous techs have done. One tech actually worked on something up the street, which improved the connection dropping a little. Another of the techs said there wasn't really anything they could do to fix it and that the lines are over-saturated because everyone is working from home now. If this is actually a problem, it sounds like a case to expand infrastructure rather than telling me it's all used up. I've confirmed with the techs that have visited that there's an issue with the upstream signals somewhere between the box at the utility pole and further up the chain. It doesn't seem like this issue will every be fixed. I've burned a lot of my time (days and days), burned money upgrading hardware that was fine, talking with customer support, and waiting for techs. I've been having to use my phone as a mobile hot-spot to ensure a consistent connection for voice and video calls. If this keeps up I think I'm just going to stop wasting money on useless internet and dump Cox and switch to a mobile hot-spot, since I end doing that anyway.Solved7.8KViews0likes31CommentsDisconnects Every 5m - 85615
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W2-Yp__l8aZQr8X-OmnyaKSc_RN_33hl/view?usp=sharing Please see attached Connection Log. Something is wrong with my provisioning, or something with the way my modem is being programmed. I have traded out my modem THREE times. I have had Cox out to the house At least 3 times. I have spoken to an engineer. There is nothing wrong with the connection lines, there is nothing wrong with the modem. However, something is causing my modem to drop every 5 minutes, on the 1 and on the 6. It has been doing this for SIX WEEKS. If I have a computer plugged directly into the modem the network card had to reconnect to the modem as the connection completely drops every 5m. This is the THIRD Modem that does this. If I had any other options for High Speed Internet, I would be canceling my Internet and going with them. However, all the other options *** even more than Cox does. so I am stuck with a limp COX internet connection, in need to Internet Viagra. I have yet another tech coming out tomorrow, but all they are going to do is look at the lines, determine it's not a line problem, and then close the ticket. AGAIN. What does it take to get someone who has ownership of a problem and will see it through to the end?876Views2likes3CommentsInternet constantly dropping for the past week
Hello, My internet has been constantly dropping for the past couple of days, making it impossible for my parents to work from home and for my brother and I to connect to class zoom meetings for school. The problem started getting significantly worse a couple of days ago to the point where it is impossible to be connected for any reasonable amount of time. I decided to check the status and logs for my modem and it shows this. Any help is appreciated.

Almost daily there is a drop in both wired and wireless connections and this has been the “as per usual”from Cox with every single reply of “ It must be your equipment” and then they would claim firmware updates or that the line has feedback from another uncapped line outside my property. Has anyone else had this same issue? Each time I formally complain at the customer care . I have the gigablast and panoramic wifi887Views0likes2CommentsInternet Connection Keeps Dropping/Resetting
Hello from the Phoenix Area, I've been fighting with support for over a month now to get my service stabilized. I'm expecting my 3rd Tech Visit tomorrow, which is supposed to be a Supervisor Technician. I've been calling and tracking the outages. I'm getting between 10-15 disconnects a day. Some lasting up to 2 hours. I've only had service for 7 weeks now with a brand new out of the box modem, which I've already replaced with another brand new out of the box modem. Both having the same issues. The cable has been tested and checked and new connectors put on the ends twice. We've moved the connection to a different node. Still getting dropped internet. This happens throughout the day. It doesn't seem to matter the time, amount of internet traffic, or possible other usage related issues. It'll drop at 2am or 2pm or any other time in between either way. I'm getting charged $75 for each tech visit to come in and "redo my cabling" (ie put new connectors on) and I'd gladly pay for the first tech trip if it would have fixed the issue. However, it hasn't and I'm on my 3rd tech trip now.My Meraki Router is showing outages coinciding with the critical errors in the event log with the record going all the way back to July 31st. During the busy hours (Evenings 5pm to Midnight) latency will jump20-25ms to 35-50ms, dropped packets will go from 0-3% tovaryingbetween 10-50%. This is consistent every evening. I've had to contact support, insist on speaking to a manager (Which BTW none one wants to let you talk to), and demand escalated service because it's been weeks of "Reset you modem, check to make sure your connections are tight, look we reset your modem it's working now...." and getting nothing fixed. How does COX expect to retain customers if they can't provide the service that we are paying for? Hopefully we can bring this to a resolution before decide it's not work dealing with COX anymore and switch to a different ISP. Just know, if I switch at home, so to will I switch at work where we have over 60+ retail locations in the Metro Phoenix and surrounding areas.COX isn't the only ISP in town and customer service should remember that Business Users are made up of Home Users. Piss off the wrong home user and you lose a lot of business overnight. And yes I'm venting because I'm at the end of my patience.

I am having constant connection drops, over the last several weeks, withconstantT3 time-out errors in the gateway logs. I have replaced the modem/router twice (once with an older one that I still had on hand, and then with a brand new gateway SurfboardSBG6782-AC) for a total of 3 different gateways. The IPs have been reset multiple times, after disconnecting the gateway overnight, and after the equipment changes. I have also had the signal reset 4 or 5 times. The connection drops for anywhere from a few seconds, to 10 minutes or so at a time. Usually, it returns on its own, but sometimes, I have to restart the gateway to get it back. It is extremely disruptive to my productivity. When the connection is stable, I have excellent speed according to speedtesting (50+mps) but I do not feel the benefits of this because of the constant timing out. I am seeing the connection drop every few minutes, making it impossible to do anything online. I have connected the gateway to a cable outlet in a different room, to make sure that the problem was not with the individual connector. The problem actually seemed worse in the other room. I have no TVs connected to any cable outlets at all, as I am not paying for TV service. I still got constantT3 time-out errors in the gateway logs. I have a desktop connected to the gateway by ethernet, a laptop and ipad connected by wifi. I have tested disconnecting each of these devices and using one at a time, to see if I can isolate the problem to a particular device, but there is no change. The connection still drops constantly. Here is a a screenshot of my gateway connection results http://screencast.com/t/QjFjT2AMMkq Here is a screenshot with a sample of my most recent event log.http://screencast.com/t/xcGJah8Z2lk6 Any idea what could be going on here? I have googled this problem until my eyes bleed, but I can't find a solution. Do I need to have a technician out?1.4KViews0likes1Commentterrible signal strength and loss of connection
I use a Motorola SB6121 for a cable modem and airport extreme for wireless router. The motorola is 5 months old. For about ten days we experienced wide variations in wireless connectivity, from .5 mps download to 30 mps. This was entirely new after 5 months of cox internet service working great. I spoke with COX and they checked signal strength on live, walked me through a series of reboots of modem and router. They checked the signal on their end. They said it was not a problem on their end. I spoke with motorola and they walked me through a series of diagnostics and resets of their modem. The signal via a direct Ethernet cable from the modem to the computer worked great at that time. I spoke with Apple and they ran me through diagnostics and finally replaced by airport extreme (it was under warranty). Results: 1. When I first hooked up the router and the cable modem after the router was replaced, I had a great signal -- 32 mps, which is as good as it gets here. 2. 4 hours later the connection dropped and then became very slow. 3. I plugged the cable modem directly into my computer and got a full signal. I left it oversight doing an offline backup. 4. The connection was lost during the night with a direct hookup to the cable modem. It seems the problem is clearly not the modem or the router but something in the cox system, as none of these pieces of equipment causes the problem. They are new equipment. What shall I do?Solved3.8KViews0likes2CommentsInternet shuts off at least 5 times a week
As stated our internet shuts off a lot, sometimes 5 times in a day. Once we restart the modem and router the connection reestablishes itself. We have a Motorola Surfboard SB6141 modem and a Medialink Wireless-N router. Thanks for any help.5.9KViews0likes12CommentsRouters
What routers can I use with my internet connection? I currently have the D-Link N300 Router and Cisco DPQ3212 Modem. They were installed over a year ago when I bundled my service. The router doesn't seem to be working correctly. My internet connection keeps dropping. Thanks2.6KViews0likes2Comments
