Internet service uptime
The reliability of COX WiFi is NOT worth the monthly pricetag associated with it. I've had internet service interruptions as long as 2 hours, and on a very consistent basis, I loose connectivity for short periods of time. I set up a script to run on my computer that would just ping one of Google's servers every 8 seconds, log when the pings started failing, and log when they started succeeding again. This gave me a good idea of how frequently and how long I would loose service, even when it wasn't immediately interfering with whatever I was doing (which it has, so frequently that I decided to write the script in the first place) and my findings showed that throughout the week, there were on average 34 service interruptions, most of them about 16-48 seconds long, but some as long as 10 minutes.
Very frequently, I will be playing multi-player games, and just randomly get disconnected. I'll be watching a video or listening to music while I study, and I loose connection. I reiterate, THIS SERVICE IS NOT WORTH THE PRICETAG! And I would strongly advise anyone considering this ISP to just move along to your next option.

Did you want to troubleshoot your issue or was it just a rant?

Cox drops internet connection 2-3 times everyday. Reset modem is the only course of action available via their up. I’m paying for gigablast and it is highly unreliable.
