PeePs

Alright, so this past week or so it has a been a nightly occurrence for my internet to disconnect randomly throughout the night. Sometimes I will stay connected 45 minutes then it will time out for maybe 4 minutes and then it will work again. I've tried resetting my router and modem, and I've tried multiple computers on my network and they are all not getting internet. The computers are connect via ethernet, and during the times when the internet doesn't work I can still access the router and modem. I have Cox cable in Omaha, NE with a Netgear WPN824v2 router.



I noticed a lot of errors in my logs for my modem today. Here they are:

Every night around 5:30 or so when people around here start getting home from work, and they feel like going on the internet I suffere a HUGE loss of speeds. This continues until people start to get themselves in bed and off the damn internet (around 10:30 pm). My normal connect speed is around 1000 KB/s download...... but hey not during prime time hours. Here is what I'm getting right now at 7:44 pm.

Your connection is: 1266 Kbps or 1.3 Mbps
You downloaded at: 155 kB/s
You are running: 22 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 6.61 second(s)

Yep, advertised speeds are 7 Mb. So basically I start to try and play some online gaming and notice that my ping times are 100+ in every server. So today I was playing and I made a nice new talking bind, "Prime Time is lag time for Cox Communications!"

So basically this is all leading up to me saying....... FUCK COX COMMUNICATIONS
Guess I should call em, but I'm leaving for College in a week so it seems almost like a waste, but I guess I could help my dad out and get him the speed he is paying for.

Apparently after you go over the 500 MB upload limit for a day at University of Nebraska-Lincoln you are switched over from the main internet connection onto a 5 MB line. So basically if there are 100 people in the dorms that go over the quota in a day you will have 100 people sharing a 5 MB line. And it just so happens that today I have gone over my 500 MB limit...... check out the speeds!
