Connection Suppressed

Hello,

I live in 85706, and I recently noticed that my internet has slowed. I was getting download/upload of 150/10 Mbps. Now I am getting 100/10 Mbps. I decided to upgrade to gigablast since both me and my wife work from home and heavily rely on the internet. I am now getting 212/35 Mbps (download is 4x lower than what I should be getting). Why is my download speed being supressed?

Are you running the speed test wirelessly?  Try connecting to the Cox Panoramic router directly with a Cat 5e or Cat 6 ethernet cable and test it again.

All of these tests were done using a wireless connection. I don't see the point in doing a hardwired test when my wireless connection is what I noticed being slowed.

It will show if you are getting the speed that you're paying for.  Wireless is always slower than a wired connection.

yeah you have to do the wired test. that is the only real metric that is accepted, there are too many potentials that can affect your speeds with wireless.
