Internet Hardware and Gigablast
Anyone out there have gigablast and use your own modem and router?? If so do you get the speeds advertised? When downloading large files 40GB+ I want 600+Mbps download speeds would be nice. I get like maybe 350 tops right now and usually it is 30 to 100 which ** considering I pay for Gigablast. I have noticed to try and do my large file downloads at crazy times like 3am or whatever because when the congestion is not there I get up to the 350Mbps

You should downgrade your plan to whatever Cox can provide. If Cox can't provide 1 GB, why pay for 1 GB? It reads like Cox could consistently provide 300 Mbps.
40 GB is huge and you should bypass your router to download. I'm not suggesting you have a weak router but you shouldn't share (router) your precious bandwidth during these downloads.

Are you wired directly to the modem? wired directly to the router? or using wi-fi when witnessing these speeds?
