Anyone have COX in Las Vegas. They advertise 4meg download and 256k upload. I'm not getting anywhere near that. I've done everything Van B has said and had a modem replaced...line tested ect ect. I'm wondering if anyone in the local area has had the same problem.

Van super hero, I did call cox and they came out and replaced my modem and did a line test and speed test to the local server and SHAZAAAM I was getting 4.08meg download and 256 k download. By the way I'm in Las Vegas. When I go to DSLReports and do a speed test (Las Angeles) I get 1.5 meg.....when I go to Testmy.net I get about 1meg. As far as the tweaks go I loaded the file you made specially for me 4000/256. The COX tech said it was just internet congestion. What am I doing wrong? I've tested with and without my router I've tested at 2am I'm at a loss

I've tried everything that Van has suggested.....and I'm still only running at about 45% of Cox's 4meg/256 ...any superhero's out there? Thanks

1505 on the third

On that website I got 2663.2 download on the first test on the second test I got 1592.2 download

What the hell. My line quality issue is resolved. My Tweak Test tells me my RWIN settings are too high (i'm using the 4000/256) and this is my last test to testmy.net What am I doing wrong. I used to bitch about getting 1.5Meg out of 4. Now I don't even get 1? :::..

If I was pingable and everything was set up right here are my results. http://www.broadbandreports.com/speedresults/282975499b82/1665462 I'm not sure I was pingable. My IP was correct. COX changed it today that's why I wasn't sure of the new numbers.

Van B- Sorry I'm such a rookie and I'm new to some of the terms. How do I make myself Pingable? If I do an IPConfig my address is what is assigned thru my router/gateway. Which address do I use and how do I get it? Thanks for your patience

Yea...my cox.net test (test.lvcm.com) always shows 2+ times faster than anything I ever get at Testmy.net or DSLreports ...anyone have any thoughts. I did everything Van-B said......Nothing has improved consistently. My max at testmy.net has been around 2meg download. I should be getting 4 at peaks
