Hello, I've been having a severe problem for the past few months. I use Cox Cable, if anyone is familiar with it. I'm having incredibly slow download speeds, and the test results here are laughable. The thing is, when I first plug in my modem, my tests come back at around 15 mpbs. So, Pretty good I'd say. However, over the course of 10 minutes it is reduced to less than 1 mpbs. This is the test I just took:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 451 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 512 kB)
Download Speed is:: 55 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Main)
Test Time:: 2008/10/24 - 9:58pm
Bottom Line:: 8X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 18.62 sec
Tested from a 512 kB file and took 9.309 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 5.99 % of your hosts average (cox.net)

User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 [!]
I'm not sure what to do, and when calling them they say they see nothing wrong on their side. Is there anything that could cause a decrease over time? I've ran scans and checks on almost everything. I can't figure this out. Please help.
Thank you
