I think the cloud backup is hosted by a group called synchronoss.com. They do cloud based backup for a lot ISP's. From what I can tell, the connection between you and Cox is fine, its the connection between Cox and synchronoss. Pretty sure this connection is throttled to around 5Mbps. Some say this was done to lessen the impact on the customers speed when backing up, but part of me thinks it has something to do with money.  See here for a thread with more info.
