Hello everyone I am new on these forums, but not new to testmy.net, and have used it for awhile. My cox.net just got faster by surprise  so I looked at there newsletters and they did up it more! It used to be at the most 9000kbps now it is this: :D

I wonder if they increased their basic package too? I remember when they increased it from 5 mb to 9 mb I didnt get the increased speeds because I didn't have the "Premier package" or something. Welp, when I go home from college for thanksgiving break ill test and see  ;) .

the upload on the other hand still sucks. no matter what I do, i run at 70-80% and it just doesn't seem to change.

The best I've seen on upload was about 83% but should be able to do better. I know it's not to far from the "advertised" upload. any suggestions??
