persistence finally payed off

Recommended Posts

i think my internet is finally fixed, after cox tech #8 visited my house i've finally got a stable connection and my signals still look pretty good.

persistence is key, it's taken me a little over 3 months now to get my internet fixed, a lot of hours on the phone and 8 techs and 3 maintenance techs visiting my house / neighborhood.

i've had a stable connection for the last 4 days and my signals are below

That's awesome! Glad to hear it. I know you've had a hell of a time getting that dialed in. Cox should be embarrassed that it took that long to get it right. They've given you a bunch of free months though, right? One extra thing you can do is send a letter or email to them. Let them know how many attempts it took and how much it inconvenienced you. I guarantee you that they'll give you something extra to say sorry. ;)

You had a pretty deep dips in performance >> https://testmy.net/stats/?&t=u&d=06142011&x=240&m=2&l=1000&q=triran then compare that to mine (for those who don't know I have the same Cox.net in Phx AZ 50/5 -- same exact modem.. nearly identical setup...) >> https://testmy.net/stats/?&t=u&d=06142011&x=30&m=2&l=1000&q=CA3LE(I have dips in my connection also but they are mostly because I'm testing the site... I can only remember a handful of times this year that my connection wasn't running at 100% or higher)

I'm glad that my website could play a role in helping you get what you're paying for. Make sure you tell your friends... you know... if internet testing ever pops up in a conversation or something :evil6:

Damn, now you've got me beat by a hair (also on WiFi 802.11n)

It's cutting in and out. I do allot of uploading while I work... so this really effects me. Download is nearly unaffected.

But I'm getting a delay in requests... which is very annoying. I bet it will work itself out. It better, because I can't work like this.
