Very slow upload speeds, download speeds are fine
Hello,
The past couple months, I have been having very slow upload speeds (anywhere between 100 Kbps to 2 Mbps) that are intermittent. There doesn't seem to be any specific time that these occur. When this is happening, my download speed stays high. I am currently paying for 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload.
I have had two contractors out to my apartment in the past week. The first one informed me that the signal my unit is receiving is actually really strong. The second one took out the splitter that my unit was going into to see if that would eliminate the problem, but it has not. Unfortunately, since the problems only occurs somewhat randomly, it was not occurring when they were at my place.
On my end, I have tried multiple modems, multiple coax cables from the wall to my modem, and multiple ethernet cables from the modem to my computer (I am usually directly connected to my modem). I have hooked up my wireless router to verify that I was also receiving poor upload speeds on my wireless network, just to ensure that it wasn't my computer's network card causing issues. After doing all these things and still seeing the issue, I do not believe it is on my end.
My modem is an Arris SB6183. Here are the statistics for downstream/upstream:
I am noticing many critical events in the modem logs, but am unsure what they really mean. I can post them if necessary.
I just installed PingPlotter and was doing a quick test, I noticed that I'm dropping about ~25% of my packets when the upload speed problem is ongoing.
Can I please get some assistance with this? I don't really want to continue having contractors coming out to my place as nothing is really changing. I have gone back and forth with the Twitter support, who have also noticed some issues. Please let me know if you require any more information.
Thank you,
GoShox

I have one of the new Cox Panoramic WIFI Modems. Similar speeds wired and wifi (using 5G). I am currently paying for 300down and 30 up. But I am getting about 150 down and about 2mbps or less up.

Hello,
Checked on ESR000002450602 and that ticket is pending as a break plant is needed to further trouble shoot.

Thank you for the reply. I wasn't able to find anything about "break plants" on Google, may I ask what that is and what an ETA would be to acquire one?

Hello,
Sorry tech talk, "break plant" is a term used in troubleshooting where isolating an issue cannot be further tested without removing sections of plant "main transmission lines" that feed down certain streets or small neighborhoods. We will hold off til the next schedule maintenance window arrives which is overnight. This way it impacts the fewest people and will perform all the work needed at that time. The issue will be resolved in the window or isolated to a leg for day techs to pick up on the following day.

Just curious, any updates on the ticket? I saw a big Cox truck rolling up to my apartment as I left for work this morning. Was hoping it might be for my issue :)

Unfortunately I am still seeing the same issue. It looks like three of the four problematic channels were fixed, but I'm still seeing a problem with the 909000000 Hz frequency. Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/1MSZY
