I have been battling an intermittent internet speed problem for the past month or so. I've had 3 visits from Cox technicians so far. As incremental changes are made by the Cox technicians and myself, the speeds are getting faster and more consistent (according to a 5-minute periodic test I've been running from TestMy.net). However, I am still stuck with the apparent inability to bond 4 upstream channels on my Cisco DPQ3212C cable modem. Below are my statistics (including my MAC address so you can identify me). Can you please tell me if there is anything that I can do from my end in order to get a better upstream connection? Thanks.

Hi Chris.
Yes; two days ago I swapped the DPQ3212 for another one ... specifically to try and rule out the modem as the source of the problem. At this point it appears likely that the problem is outside of my house. Any advice regarding the next steps to take?
Thanks

I think that in each case, the "problems in the area" were problems that had *already* been (recently) resolved. There always seems to be a 1-day or 2-day time lag between when I report the problems and when a technician actually arrives, so sometimes things change for the better before the technician arrives.
This most recent problem involving the persistent inability to bond 4 upstream channels is new, and I have never had this problem present when a technician was on my property. As you recommend, I will make another call and schedule another visit by a technician and then we can escalate from there.
Thanks for your prompt response to all my questions!
