My Upload and Download have Slowed Down about 30%

Gonna Check Wiring and Splitters AS Soon As its Light Out...  I think the Cox Splitter was already looking Rusted Out a year and a half ago, which would explain the steady decrease in upload since i got Cox in 2001,  from 100+kB/sec -> 25 kB/sec, even if the speed isnt increased, stuff like signin in to xbox live are slow as dirt for me.

i used to be able to download at around half a meg a second!!, i thought that was fast, it was fast enought for me, but to still be paying 30 a month and to get only about  60 kilo per second (on a good day.......)
