Having some trouble with Cox last few days.....

I dont know if any of you are experiencing this, but I have a significant decrease in speed - i have always been able to hit ~5000Kbps on download tests and right now I cant get past ~3000Kbps - thats pretty significant, webpages seem to load slower and all that - if any of you want to see what Im talking about take a look at my 30day report ( http://www.testmy.net/personal_stats_30d.php?comp_id=625701115054 ) - anybody got any ideas of what could be happening ?

any help appreciated, i wanna get back up Smile

Here's a download test I ran now:

::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 3439 Kbps about 3.4 Mbps (tested with 1496 KB)
Download Speed is:: 420 kB/s
Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/
Bottom Line:: 61 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 2.44 second(s)
Validation Link:: http://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=75H43TXNU

-it's not so bad, but it's still a significant drop in speed

Ask around if more people joined your node. That should affect the extra speed the most.

They may have capped you for a little while..   They maybe proforming network maintaince and move a bunch of people over for a little while.. I know it sucks but can you really tell the difference betweek 3 and 5?  I am sure that the downloads are a little slower but other than that... Rolling Eyes

Browsing should still be snappy on 3 Mbps.  I would do a tracert to testmy.net to see if you are experiencing any latency on a router.  This may be the cause of the slow down of the test.  Also, try to download a test file http://ftp://ftp1.optonline.net  If this is slow, then it's a connection problem.  If it isn't, then it is a routing problem between your connection and testmy.net.

I was going to offer you do a test from http://luwigie.com/tests/ but I am in the same data center as this site.

I too have noticed this, i live in RI and i've noticed a signifigant drop recently. i'm quite dissiapointed and pretty much all of my friends have noticed the same thing. page loads are taking longer yet i do test to ~3000Mbps, i dont think the slow web page loads have to do with the slower connection testing but latency or some odd type thing. where is your locaiton?

Disturbed I live in south Texas and have had the SAME problem for the past month. I was DL at about 5000 and it dropped to about 2500-3000, last 2 days it has been 4000 though.
