That's it, I've had it with Cox Communications

[minendo]

I pay for their premium service (up to 9 meg download) and this is the sh!t I get.

 

[Akhen]

Switch back to dial up, I hear AOL has badass speeds.

Probably better than the crap service Cox has been providing.

 

[Svnla]

Because your pipeline is shared?

We have Cox here too but if you want broadband, you have to pay cable tv to get broadband, no broadband only.

I also have the full digital cable package.

Never had an installer. Service was already on when I moved in.

I had adelphia do that couple years back, after I bitched for a week straight.
They also claimed they were upgrading their entire network and that it would cause problems with internet connectins. I told them that isn't my problem and if it continues, paying my bill won't be my problem either.

 

[Goosemaster]

leave it at this....i wanted to post a ping of my 25% packet loss and time outs during speed tests but I can't even UP LOAD A FVKING 20KB PICTURE TO MY FTP SERVERS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT TIMES THE FVK OUT



:|

 

[arod]

definately have a service tech come out there.... sounds like you have connection problem. I have their medium service (4.0/512) and I alwas get my max speed.

 

[Bateluer]

That sucks. My experience with Cox in PHX, AZ, was exemplary when I had them. Only had two major instances which required me to phone them and they responded relatively quickly and fixed the problems.

 

[harobikes333]

wow suckage Hope you get it fixed!

I remember when we had dial up. We for about half a year had about 3.4kbs download/about the same upload. It was crazy. But back then we didn't really know if it was really bad or not lol. I did though since at school it was way faster.

 

[Pepsei]

switch to verizon dsl, free usenet and cheaper.

or just tap off next door's wireless, make sure you ask them first.

Interesting...

Adelphia is trying to pull a similar dupe with me.

 

[farmercal]

I have Cox here in west Florida and couldn't be happier with what they provide me. Either I got lucky or my standards are very low. Of course I don't download much stuff very often. No music, movies or the like.

 

[Kadarin]

Ethernet duplex mismatch somewhere..

damn your screen capture

I was click'n scroll bars and wondering why they were frozen.

Maybe your modem needs recapping.

 

[Rubycon]

Try a tracert to a popular site like anus.com?
Try accessing 192.168.100.1 through a browser - it's your modem's page in most cases to look at RF signal levels.

FAARK DOUBLE POST

 

[Leper Messiah]

yeah. Cox always sucked when I lived in CT. Comcast gives me decent speed.
