Lots of Jitter, Tons of Packet Loss
Hey there! I have been having severe packet loss and lag in games lately and noticed my ping spiking quite a bit. I contacted Cox, and I was told everything looked fine on my end and the node in my neighborhood was overloaded because of COVID. I had a tech come out about a month ago and he reiterated the overloaded node issue and installed an attenuator on our line. I followed up with COX about a week ago and they sent out a supervisor who just knocked on the door, said the same thing about the overloaded node, and left. Didn't make any changes or attempt to do any diagnostics. They said they split my node on Friday, but I am still seeing a lot of issues. I just ran some of my own diagnostics and found some interesting info. I ran pingplotter and MTR on Google and EAs servers (I mostly play Apex Legends). I discussed the results with some more technical friends who believe it might not just be a local issue but rather peering congestion between COX and Zayo.

I am kind of lost with what to do currently. I have seen people file FCC complaints with some success. But certain applications are just unusable with the jitter and packet loss I am getting. Thank you!2.4KViews0likes7CommentsIs there anyway to contact the tech dispatch directly?
I'm not trying to contact support. I want to actually speak to the guys working on the lines. Been sitting on severe packet loss going on two months soon. Field Tech Supervisor finally came out and identified issue on the pole outside. Said every port or whatever was bad when he tried to switch me over. Noise feeding back into the line or something. Well, the problem has been found. But getting an actual person out here on the bucket truck is taking way too long. I literally can't do anything with this packet loss. At least when you schedule a service appointment you are given a date and time. When it comes to them submitting tickets to their field crew or whatever you are left in the dark. I would just like to be given a time frame on when I can expect to have someone coming out here on the truck to fix this. I've even called Corporate and the best thing I was told was "I've sent an email to them". Bro.553Views0likes0Comments
