Intermittent service (drops, slow speeds) for 85032 and other Phoenix area zip codes over the last 3 weeks. This is a cox issue, not our modems. Fix it

Over the past 3-4 weeks the Phoenix area and other cities have been constantly getting drops and seeing slow speeds in their internet service. With school starting for most communities and many more people working from home, these problems need to be addressed immediately. We implore you Cox, to stop blaming our modems on the problems and fix the issue with your service. You can see by the many posts on downdetector.com and istheservicedown.com as well as this forum, this is a widespread issue, with no response from Cox about apparent problems at all. Please fix our internet.

Same issue in 85310.  At least twice a day for the past 3 to 4 weeks.

@Jmcwilli, I do not see any area wide outages currently in your vicinity. However, your modem is reporting high amounts of time out errors. Are there any splitters or signal amps on the cable line going to the modem? -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

I have the same problem in San Diego. It has been this way for a week now and I even got a new modem but the problem still persists.

There are no splitters or signal amps on the cable line going to the modem that I could see. 

My zip code is 92071 and here are the event logs for my modem.

You could also try testing the modem at a different cable outlets to see if that helps otherwise it may be necessary to see about scheduling a technician to come out and troubleshoot further. -Chris

What would be the best way to schedule a technician to come out? Could I just send an email requesting a technician?

Hello Viole,

You can certainly do it that way, or you can call into technical support or you can reach out to us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or email us at cox.help@cox.com.

ZIP: 02814,   I am having the same problem here.  My down and upload speeds drop off dramatically.  I also see internet drop out totally.

I have noticed this for the last week or so.    Most time resetting the modem restores the internet but I have had to do this for the last 2 days.

@Mr. Castle. There is an area wide outage in your vicinity at this time. Our techs are currently working on resolving the issue and you may experience intermittent service while we are working on resolving the issue. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator

@Jwburchell, Your modem is up and running with a good signal and I do not see any unusual latency/packet loss at this time. What speeds are you currently getting? -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

Same problem in zip 93105.  This has been going on for days, if not weeks.  Speeds are very inconsistent, except consistently low (5-8-10 Mbps, vs "up to" 150 Mbps I'm paying handsomely for), and downloads/streams stall regularly.  I've run SpeedTest on multiple devices, both wired and wireless, which used to show good results.  Lately: not so much.  Tried pointing it at various servers, all with similar results.  Does seem to improve a bit later in the day (maybe).  Tried the modem reset, waste of time.

Also, but separate gripe: mail client errors out as often as not when attempting to retrieve mail.  This has been going on for years.

Hello Allan, there are indeed splitters on the cable line, considering the cable is distributed to most rooms in the house.  This arrangement has been in place with satisfactory (even impressive) performance for several years.  There have been no recent changes in cabling or connected devices.  Thanks - kbinsb

For testing purposes, are you able to bypass the splitter just to see if it improves the signal levels?

Not easily done.  Is there a way I can look at things from this end if/when I'm able, as Dave9 and Viole have done in this thread?  Their logs suggest trouble between the modem and the neighborhood infrastructure equipment.  My modem is an Arris Touchstone CM8200, provided some time in the past year or so by Cox.

{Light bulb} After seeing in another forum some discussion of interference and signal quality with these modems, I noticed my modem was standing RIGHT NEXT to a Sonos speaker (Play:1, uses WiFi in 2.4 GHz band), about 1-2 inches apart.  Moved the modem further away (a little over a foot apart), now getting MUCH better download rates (130+ Mbps).  The Sonos has been right next to the modem for a long time, so not sure if that was the culprit.  I had also just installed a firmware update on my router/AP, a Netgear R6400, about half an hour ago.  Or it could be sunspots.  Will keep an eye on performance.

Same problem for the past month.  Local (Phoenix, 85044 (Ahwatukee)) High Schools now in session virually the problem??

Whatever the case, COX IS the problem.  I've been through $2000.00+ worth of their modems and various (ASUS, Netgear) WiFi systems and extenders.  NO CHANGE in the problems.  

COX - fix this!

@Ober Dober, Your modem is up and running with a good signal and I do not see any unusual latency/packet loss at this time. Are you experiencing this issue with multiple/all devices in the home or just one? Also, can you try a wired device and let us know the results. Thanks. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

Obviously it doesn’t happen at all times. However, we are blamed yet y’all charged to do some line changes when I got gigablast and it never worked and now it is worse. Never your fault though, always our modems or our routers. Don’t here these issues as often from friends who have centurylink and they get the full speed cause they have fiber. Tell your company to stop cheaping out.

if they had gone through with fiber instead of stopping cause google stopped we wouldn’t have these issues. Hopefully a story or political pressure get y’all moving soon.

I've checked the modem signal levels and the SNR levels are not up the spec. I suggest unplugging the power cord and reseating both ends of the coax cable if there's a splitter or amp bypass it. If you have another coax outlet you can also try that. Once connect back we can check the signal levels or you can post in the forum.

I started seeing packet loss and stutters a few days ago as well. Before that everything was working perfectly. Checked the logs today and found this. When my connection was working well I only had about one or two DRW violations per week. Now getting multiple per hour and also had some T3 timeouts that I didn't capture before they scrolled off the bottom. Something definitely changed on the connection. It's not my modem or wiring as confirmed by a recent tech visit. Problem seems to be in the Cox system and seems to be widespread. Hopefully they're looking into it. Trust me, all of our modems and cables didn't go bad at the same time.

You might be on to something about it being caused by the start of school, but I thought a DRW violation was caused by RF problems not by node saturation. Maybe someone can confirm or deny that?

I agree this is a wide spread issue. I work as a teacher & today we kept losing about 10% of the class at various times. Every one of them had Cox & when mine finally dropped I had to use my phone's hotspot to be able to continue instruction. I'm not even in the same city as my students! This is ridiculous.

@TeacherJustTrying ToTeach, It looks like your modem is reporting a high amount of time out errors. Are there any splitters or signal amps on the cable line going to the modem? -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

Unfortunately,. this is a common occurrence in my area (85204).  Throughout the day I get unstable internet connections when using zoom, even though I'm using a wired connection and have the 150 service (cox speedtest will show around 125-130 Mbps download but its not stable). Late evening time, I'm lucky to get 4-7 Mbps down during peak times.  I can understand increased usage and getting lower speeds, but a drop that low is crazy. It's borderline unusable

It has been absolutely horrific in Phoenix (85258) since the July 30th outage. https://app.fing.com/internet/outage/DROP:US-Arizona--Cox%20Communications@2020-07-30-0710-00000

Internet drops every 15-30 minutes for minutes at a time.

Cox tech came out and did the typical "here's a new modem" but that did jack ***. Just talked to support rep and they legit just told me "We regret to inform you that the estimated time to repair is unknown".

Same here, 85208. It’s been constant for over a month. Even had a new ONT brought out by a tech, and he checked all external wiring. Nothing was fixed. I purchased a new router just in case. Still persists.

I am having the same problem! I pay for 300mbps and am only getting 100 or less lately with serious outages for the past week! I am not paying for this lack of service!

Same problem here Zip Code 92071, San Diego county, I thought I was going crazy, I spent more than 2 hours on the phone with the rude people at cox and they said there was no issue. Now I can see there is a HUGE ISSUE.

I don't implore, I DEMAND  cox to immediately fix this, we are paying a lot of money for the service, and STOP telling us that the problem is in our MODEMS and ROUTERS, IS NOT.

Problems in Las Vegas too.  Highly likely its this...

Without using a VPN, I am currently getting 10mb down (I have gigablast).  I use the VPN and I test out at 110mb down.  Not gig, but better and indicates they do throttle and don't tell you.

That only applies to upload speeds and is only being used in very rare circumstances. Much more likely to be a problem your wiring or with the Cox network. Check signal levels and modem logs as a starting point.

My wiring?  You mean my wiring wakes up in the morning and feels good so I get higher speeds, and then later on in the afternoon/evening it gets tired and slows down my speeds.  Ok.  That makes a lot of sense.  Of course its Cox.

I also have the same problem in 92071, San Diego County. Have you tried asking your neighbors if they have the same problem? I think it may be a problem as a whole in Santee with Cox, seeing that both you and I have the same problem.

What are you seeing in terms of signals and modem logs?
