500 plan speeds drop to 30mbps
A few weeks I noticed my speeds had dipped and were capping out 30-35/mbps. Testing from a laptop directly into the modem. Reset modem and speed is back to 500 for about 90 seconds then goes back down. Replaced the ethernet cable and coax - nothing. Called Cox - no help. Replaced modem with a brand new Cox modem. Full speed lasted about 5 mins before going back down to 30. Please help Cox. Your online tech support is terrible.Solved663Views3likes24CommentsHorrible speed and data usage ever since Upgraded to Gigablast
This is ridiculous. I've been on chat and phone getting customer service assistance with no improvement. Keep getting told there are outages in my area just recently, etc. We trouble shoot and plug and reboot and unplug, nothing changes or helps? I have Cox pan modem (not old) and a netgear router. I've asked is it possible router needs updating or replacement? But Cox internet agent tells me no. I am at a loss and keep getting someone suggesting I purchase MORE data because my usage is very high this month and is going to MORE than likely be over, even Over the $29.99 add-on?? Agent agrees i haven't even been close to going over for many many months now BUT cannot give me ANY insight or reason WHY i all of a sudden am going to be? When i haven't added any devices? I continually tell them, BEFORE adding additional charges willingly to my Cox bill, i think i deserve at least a reason or explanation about what's causing higher than usual data use! Am i wrong to request this? If I knew wouldn't this help me in the future!😁 Just fed up almost ready to take business and shop around. Please, IF you can give advice or help or direct me to a Correct csr or something it would be greatly appreciated!!!

I've been experiencing snail pace connection speeds for the past few weeks so I upgraded to Gigablast after attempting some troubleshooting steps. (troubleshooting steps taken: power cycled all devices in home, switched from cox provided modem/router combo to my personal modem and router, power cycled devices a second time.) After attempting all the basic troubleshooting steps and even upgrading to Gigablast my connection speed got worse. I originally had the internet only plan beneath the Gigablast plan and was getting an average of 30 MBPS download and 20 MBPS upload, after the upgrade my the results were cut in half. With Gigablast I am currently getting 10-15 MBPS download and 10 MBPS upload. Someone please help, I've spoken to 4 separate supposed "Tech Support Agents" and no one has done a single thing to help. They all just keep taking me through the same basic elementary troubleshooting steps that I have been doing for the past few weeks.2.2KViews1like6CommentsCM1000 only getting 400-500Mbps with Gigablast
I've got a CM1000 and Gigablast but I only ever get 400-500mbps. The connection is stable, it's just not hitting advertised speeds. I've tried changing the coax cable, moving the modem to another room in the house, connecting directly to the modem, etc. The speeds are always consistently about half of what I should be getting. I contacted support a few times. Thelast two people I talked to both said the signal looked good on their end. One said they were seeing 11000mbs to the modem, and no packet loss, so the problem must be with the modem. The other similarly said that the signal looked good and there was no packet loss. One said they were getting red flags on the modem, specifically HomeRF, OFDM Status and Channel State. They suggested it's a modem configuration issue but, since it's a third party modem, they couldn't do anything. Thing is, Netgear doesn't have much in the way of support for this kind ofthing so I've been looking for information online and I'm seeing a lot of similar complaintswith stats similar to what I'm seeing on my modem that are always attributed to line problems. For example, the fact that I'm only bonded to the first 20 channels is often attributed to a filter somewhere on the line (there are no filters or splitters inside the house, as far as I am aware). Some of the error messages I've been seeing in the logs are also frequently attributed to line problems. No offense to the reps I spoke to, but I suspect they're more customer service than actual technical experts. I was hoping for a second opinion and maybe some more information.

A couple of months ago, our family upgraded to the Cox Gigablast Internet package. Over the phone, we were promisedGigabit download and upload since we live in a new neighborhood with dedicated FTTP service. The Internet speed has always been sufficient as what was promised, however today when I did a speed test, I only got ~70 Mbps upload. A few more tests averaged only about 30-70 Mbps, sometimes a bit more. Has something changed? I don't believe it is any of our equipment.4.8KViews0likes2Comments
