Slow upload speed when using OBS for twitch
I pay for the 2 gig service from cox which is advertising as 2 mbps download and 40 Mbps upload. Download is great but my upload is literally a 16th of what advertised and its not stable, i unplugged my modem (PW8) turned off every device that is hooked up to my Wi-Fi turned off my pc and let it sit for 5 mins, plugged everything back in, after the router had started back up, Plugged in both my console and PC via ethernet connection. and still getting only 3 mbps upload, ill repeat my download is fine but my upload needs to be looked at, i don't expect it to run at 40 mbps but i know it could do 30. attached to this post is screenshots from twitch's bandwidth test in all they're allotted servers for obs to connect to, it shows the bandwidth, RTT, and quality of the upload to the servers, anything below 90 is not sustainable. i was under the impression that ethernet connection is taking priority over Wi-Fi connection. if further contact is needed other then this forum please email titaniumx34@gmail.com. obs is the program used for streaming on twitch, as that is my second job.29Views0likes9Comments- Darkatt27 minutes agoHonored Contributor26Views0likes3Comments
Voicemail
Is there any option for voicemail on a pixel 8 phone other than dialing *86 and checking it through the audible prompts? I used to get voicemails listed in the phone app but now I lost that feature. How is that possible? Cox Mobile is already missing so many features that I regret choosing it and highly recommend against it. Now I am losing features I already had? My 2 year contract can't be up soon enough. If Cox wants to actually have good mobile service, please reach out so that important features can be implemented. Otherwise, it is trash that will soon be discontinued.bkaufx2 hours agoNew Contributor1View0likes0CommentsPlanned upgrade turned outage
My services have been down for over 24hrs. Yesterday morning my internet was down, apparently, due to planned upgrades and maintenance. I received no warning about any planned maintenance so I had no way to plan ahead. I kept getting updates about when the maintenance would be finished and when services would be restored. Now here I am, a day later, still no internet or cable. I'm frustrated because there was no warning about the outage so I lost a day and half's worth of income; I'm still unable to work. But even if there was a warning some aspect of the "planned maintenance" led to a community-wide outage. I think it's unacceptable to not have a system in place of alerting customers about upcoming outages. Imagine if the power or water utility providers did that.Sleepyhead212 hours agoVisitor20Views0likes3CommentsCox WiFi keeps dropping.
I've been experiencing an ongoing internet issue for the past 30 days. A technician recently visited to diagnose the problem and mentioned that around the same time, Cox conducted a system update. According to him, this update has been causing routers to struggle with switching channels seamlessly, resulting in the router being locked to a single channel and the light turning red. This red light is a new occurrence that I've only noticed over the past 30 days. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem. I work full-time from home, and this issue has become increasingly disruptive. The technician thoroughly checked the lines and confirmed that everything is in order on that front. He concluded that the problem is solely due to the recent Cox update. However, the technicians haven’t received any further information or solutions from Cox. As a result, I’m left having to frequently unplug and reset my router multiple times a day. Not that I wish this upon anyone, but hoping there is some truth behind all of this so I am not alone and or if cox came chime in that this update In fact happened and when we can expect another update to fix the problem?CaptainH2 hours agoNew Contributor II373Views1like12CommentsReception issues
Why the heck is CBS ch3 having so much reception issues? It's ONLY on CBS not any other channel. The screen fritzes out like the old tvs did during electrical storms. At times the volume drops out altogether. For 243 bucks a month I expect far better service than this.Solomansousana15 hours agoNew Contributor13Views0likes2CommentsAggressive Cox Tech Found Inside My Yard, Refusing to Leave
I was utterly frightened upon discovering a man through my gate inside my enclosed yard, blocking me from entering my residence after I returned home at 8:30AM after dropping my children off at school on Oct.17th He was unapologetic that he had scared me, then refused to leave when I requested that he do so. He was confrontational, arguing with me saying, “I’m allowed to be here!” At that point, it felt like I had no choice but to call the police for help. While waiting in my car for the police to arrive, I checked my account and it says, “Network Looks Good: We've assessed our network in your area and things look good. If you're having connection issues, visit SmartHelp for self-guided support.” This was the second time a tech was dispatched to my home without Cox notifying me. The first time, my account also said the network was fine. And both times the technician stated something to the effect that this is how Cox is doing it now, they’re just sending us out without notice.Lauren2516 hours agoNew Contributor35Views0likes1CommentXRE 03059
Forth day in a row that part of the channels don't come in at all and part are not watchable with squiggly lines. I have unplugged several times and rebooted several times. Box problem??? Cox problem??? Unless you have time to chat and do the some things over and over again that I have done and then an attempt to sell me something extra impossible to report. Any better ideas??Solvedpm740732 days agoNew Contributor19Views0likes1CommentCox Panaromic Gateway with Wi-Fi 6E vs iPhone 15 Pro Max
It is CGM4981 (PW8) model which I had it exchanged to the old one (PW7) recently. And , my iPhone was updated with IOS 18.0.1. And, the issue is - WIFI is lost when upstair (and iPhone was supposed to switch to AT&T data 5G as I expect) (1) I select to "Forget This Network" in order to re-elect the network/password sign in >>>>WIFI OK! At this moment, I notice that "Private Wi-Fi Address" is shown under Wi-Fi network. WIFI is OK at downstair with both "Private Wi-Fi Address" and "Wi-Fi 6E" are shown. But, WIFI is lost within a few seconds when upstair. To get the WIFI back, I perform step as (1) above. Any clues, please. References: My network setting is CGM4981 and Cox Wi-Fi pod at downstair; another Cox Wi-Fi pod upstair (this one will cover the Wi-Fi range)nhoang12 days agoNew Contributor II153Views0likes6Comments
