Cox Speed Check Latency Error

After clicking the "Check Speed" button on the Cox Check Speed web page I get a message in a small black dialog box that says: "Latency Test Error Latency test returned an error while trying to read the latency file." This started happening after a Cox technician came out to fix an internet problem I was having (very slow internet early in the morning). Prior to his work, I did not get this error. This happens regardless of which web browser I use (Internet Explorer, Chrome, or FireFox). However, I can run the internet speed test at speedtest.net, no errors are reported, and the speed reported is correct (around 64 Mbps download). All other web access seems to be normal. I have a *cabled* connection between my desktop PC and the router (not using wireless). The cable modem is a Motorola/Arris SB6141 (ie it is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem) -- but remember, I was able to successfully run the Cox Check Speed test before the Cox technician came to fix a problem. Both the cable modem and the router were properly power cycled after the Cox technician made the repairs. I cleared the cache on my web browser but that did not eliminate the error message. No other changes have been made to my PC. Does anyone know why I would be getting this error, and what a possible solution might be? Thanks

Hi IrvineOC, most likely this is a temporary issue with how the speed test loads from our end, so you do not need to worry about any problems with your devices. It is OK to use the speed test from speedtest.net
