Hi Jucimo,

We checked your modem and it's currently reporting signals that are not in the acceptable range. Please ensure that all your connections are tight and secure. If there's a splitter, please try bypassing it to see if it improves your speeds.

I've checked the area and not showing any issue the would be affecting the service. The modem signal levels aren't up to spec. Please unplug the power cord and reset the coax ends as Mary mentioned if there's a splitter try and bypass it. Once connected back run another speed test bypassing the router and hardwiring a device directly to the modem.

The next step would be to schedule a tech out. However, our technicians can’t go inside the house. They can check cabling and equipment outside your home. If you need new equipment, they can set it on your doorstep, and they can walk you through troubleshooting/installation while still outside your home. They’ll talk to you over the phone, FaceTime/video chat, or even through an open window at a safe distance. Please email your full-service address, full name, and a link to this thread to cox.help@cox.com.

Hello Hero,

I know it is frustrating when dealing with a possible signal issue. Unfortunately, we can only do so much troubleshooting from the office on certain issues. We do not want to lose a customer before being given a chance to resolve the issue. Please reach out to us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or email us at cox.help@cox.com. Provide us the name on the account with the complete service address with a link to this thread so we can get started. We really need to get one of our field technicians out to investigate the signal you are receiving. -Crystal S. Cox Support Forum Moderator

Same issues - they tell me the signal is fine.  Now it's dropping connection constantly!
Says I have to have a tech out... AGAIN potentially going to charge me $75 for that unless I pay for their protection plan!

My speeds have reduced to half of what they normally were pre-quarantine/stay at home. I pay for 150mbs and have been getting 50-60. I do random speed tests and there are some rare occasions where it will get up to 100-110, other days it can go down to 20-30. I do tests on wifi and ethernet and get the same results. I have rebooted my router and modem on multiple occasions. I am chalking it up to more people at home in my neighborhood and Cox not being able to keep up with the demand. It don't think it is appropriate that I am paying the same amount for the half the speed.

I think Cox is engaged in fraud and is aware they are not providing the internet service we are paying for.  I'm in mission viejo, nothing but problems and a runaround.

I pay for 150 down, only get MAYBE 30mbps with constantly high latency and connection time outs. File a complaint with the FCC, if enough people do this we can hopefully get resolution.

I have gigablast and get about 140 Mbps with there modem before I upgraded from the 150 Mbps I had 145 Mbps sometimes 155mbps with my modem they said won't work on gigabyte Mbps so I more than doubled my bill for slower service and payed 100 for a tech to show up and say I don't know what the problem is. Cox is the worst service out there

Are you running a wire or wireless speed test? If wireless please run a hardwired test, also if you have another coax outlet you can also try that.
