Speed

I am a premier internet customer and my speeds are super slow. I do go through Wi-Fi and it is a higher unit that is not that old, appropriate for my circumstances. Now my modem is almost 2 years old and was the one that Cox gave me when I signed up, I believe a single broadband. I have ran several checks using Cox and another testing site. According to Cox I am only running at a between 4-8 Mbps Download and a 3-5 Mbps Upload. Where I should be getting up to 25 Mbps Download. These downloads and uploads seem to be pretty consistent. AND this is with everything disconnected from the Wi-Fi, including cell phones. So, what do I do? And, could my modem need an upgrade?

What kind of modem do you have?

Have you tried a wired connection direct to the modem? Not wireless.

Also what are your modems signal levels. You should be able to find them at 192.168.100.1

Hi willy,

We can look into that further for you, there are some basic steps I would like to have you try.  If you have not already, please reset your cable modem (and router if you have one).  Are you using a wired connection?  If not, test the speed using both so we can compare the two.
