SkateZilla Posted November 30, 2004 CID Share Posted November 30, 2004 My Upload and Download have Slowed Down about 30% Gonna Check Wiring and Splitters AS Soon As its Light Out... I think the COX Splitter was already looking Rusted Out a year and a half ago, which would explain the steady decrease in upload since i got cox in 2001, from 100+kb/sec -> 25 Kb/sec, even if the speed isnt increased, stuff like signin in to xbox live are slow as dirt for me. :::..
