Hello all, I was wondering how I go about locating my ISP info. Specifically the download/upload limits or whatever..


I did a download test, which I found a bit disturbing.


It also says, "May need help : running at only 27.23 % of your hosts average (Cox.net)"


My ISP is Cox, but I don't know which package I have.. idiot2

The results should be better, I feel. Then again, that's why i'm here as I have little knowledge in this area..

Thanks for the reply. smiley

I see the different "speed tiers", but don't remember off hand if I have the Premier(Download:12 Mbps.... Upload:1 Mbps) or the Preferred( Download:7 Mbps.... Upload:512 Kbps)..  I have a feeling that it's the preferred tier..



Oh, i'm in Arizona, and i'm on cable through a modem at my house. The computer is a Dell XPS410, if that makes any difference..


I'll check out the speed at my parents house(same ISP, 10 miles away, older/slower computer) sometime this weekend just to see what they have..

Nope, i'm not doing anything other than being on this forum/thread..  Neutral


I just deleted some internet caches or cookies or whatever you call them, and restarted my computer.
These are the new results.

However, they have the premier package, so 12down/1up...

Yeah, that's what i'm thinking..

My house is about three years newer than my parents, so it might not be an old wiring issue..

Do you think I should have Cox send out a tech?
