Guest scatrbrain Posted January 20, 2007 CID Share Posted January 20, 2007 Iv had cox for about 6 or 7 years and i have to give them credit for giving us a download thats consistently above advertised speeds in Wichita.. The upload is always as advertised or a tad slower. I'm still wondering if they recently bumped our download speed up again because this is the 2rd day i`v been getting 15 Mbps. Not that im complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keetan Posted February 24, 2007 CID Share Posted February 24, 2007 New to this forum. Cox tier: Premier 12 Mb Dwn/1Mb Up I actually work for Cox, and have compared the speeds with others with FiOS off of the forum. Although, they may be a bit faster, My question to them is if it actually is worth paying all that money a month just for a little bit more speed. Not to mention the contract they're in. This is sufficient enough. If anyone needs some tips on how to increase their speeds, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind just having near that speed but I've been forced to use Hughes and have for almost 8 years, 2-way almost 6.

keetan Posted February 24, 2007 CID Share Posted February 24, 2007 It's probably already known, but I test my speed at www.speedtest.net Obviously choosing Scottsdale's server for better accuracy. It's hosted by www.vividstream Here's the latest. Oh, and a little specs from the pc. CPU: Mac mini Intel Core Duo 1.66 Ram: 2GB DDR2 5200 dualchannel (maxed) OS: Windows Vista RC1 - Yes, rc1 =) Modem: D-Link DCM-202 (rev.2) <-----------more on this later and why I recommend it. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was anyway I could squeeze myself into my PC I think I would send myself to Phoenix right now. We just had a 2 day break from around 10 degrees for the past month but that came with 10 inches of snow and 3 1/2 hours of snow blowing.

keetan Posted February 24, 2007 CID Share Posted February 24, 2007 well, not to really worry, but HFC (coax from the nodes) are quite tempermental with the weather. Cold/Hot Especially here in the summer, expanding and contracting causes tiling, slow speeds etc.. There are improvements. Today the hi was 54* and clear. I'm from the northwest, and sometimes prefer it from the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
