This is seeming more and more like their line cant handle the new 9Mbps load durring peek hours.. either that or they just happened to fix whatever the problem was. Owell I will update tomorrow.

Now I dont know much about this stuff but these tests seem to show that Cox is to blame.. note the 11th hop from the 2 tests.

but before I got off on a rampage I was hoping someone of knowledge could evaluate them.

If you need anymore info let me know!

I have Cox HSI in the Phoenix, Arizona area, with the 4000/512 package.

I have been getting exactly that until recently, my download speed has been dropping. Ive tried everything I cant figure out what the problem is. I've started to get many connection problems while playing BattleField 2 demo. My upload speed seems good, around the 500 range. Download speed was dipping between 4000 and 1000 yesterday. Today im getting between 1000 to 500... very bad.

My cable modem signal is as follows: (Surfboard SB 4100 Cable Modem)

Downstream  Value

Frequency 579000000 Hz Locked

Signal to Noise Ratio 34 to 35 dB

Power Level -1 dBmV

Upstream  Value

Channel ID 3

Frequency 19600000 Hz Ranged

Power Level 44 dBmV 

when I took off the splitter the power level increased from -1 to +2 db, but this didnt help.

Please someone help I dont know what the problem is.

Also I have a Dlink DI-604 Router but I dont think this would be causing the problem.

I read that recently they upgraded the premium service (wich I dont have) to 9Mbps wich is a huge increase, could it be that the line has become overloaded due to this? I would I hope that cant happen but I really dont know what to say.

Shed some light on me if ya can
