Cox Internet test site consistently reports lower speed
There are frequent discussions about Internet speeds. Most of the time, there's a real issue. But, if you just want to see a higher reported Internet speed, all you may have to do is use a different site.
Here are samples from three different sites taken one after the other.
Google speed test Internet Speed Test | Check Broadband Speed | Google Fiber
Ookla speed test Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Cox speed test Internet Speed Test - Check Your Internet Speed | Cox

This is correct. Sometimes, it is a matter of how busy the server is that's being used to test, or the geographical location or route. The faster results will usually indicate a cleaner test.

Here's further evidence that a single Cox speed test by itself may not provide a reliable report of your Internet speed. The following speed tests were performed within a few minutes of each other. Cox differed significantly from the results of two other sites and with the same Cox site from a few minutes earlier.

Cox test #2
