Hi everyone! When I do a Cox Speed Check, I get about 120m, but on speedtest.net it is about 40m. Why is there such a huge difference?

Results can vary a bit based on location, distance, and a variety of other factors. For best results we suggest testing with wired connection. You may also want to try several tests to see if you get a more consistent patter of results.

It is a wired connection. The other sites are all about the same with a 50% loss of the paid speed, while Cox speed check is usually about 95% of the paid speed. Very interesting of the Cox displayed speed.

Speedtest.net = 33.25 down, 11.94 up. Latency 14ms

With the Speedtest.net result did it reference the location of the server it tested to get the 30 Mbps download result?
