Still suffering horrible upstream
I posted about a month ago maybe? I forget, about my Gigablast connection and here I sit still with horrible upstream issues. I have contacted COX multiple times, each time they want to send out a tech, it's not a problem inside of my home, we had a tech here on Jan 31st 2021 and the entire day he was here the internet decided it wanted to work properly, whenever I contact COX they tell me it's likely old equipment, I do not understand how much more blunt I could be...ALL of my equipment is BRAND new, literally not one piece of equipment I have is older than 3 weeks. I am going to pull up all of my hardware specs.

I apologize for the huge text, I couldn't seem to figure out how to make it normal size, I tried adjusting the size but it kept coming back out giant like that.

You aren't the only one. Same issue for me. Its been 4 months of garbage up speed. I've had around 20 techs come out and still garbage. I'm at the point I'm ready to move to a different city because cox has a monopoly here and they refuse to fix the issue.

Try toning your line at split to entire house and see where you land. This sounds to me like an issue from node on street to house is fine but once in the house to your split there's an issue. Toning the line will help show that. https://www.amazon.com/ATian-Telephone-Tracker-Ethernet-Detector/dp/B00EDZ0C4C

probably does have something to do with your old equipment.
you chopped off what site ookla was testing, cox is usually the slowest speedtest using ookla, other servers sometimes 25%, or faster test speeds.

Had the same problem and reported to the FCC and got escalated to management and was told this issue is country wide and essentially there is nothing you can do to fix it but just wait for cox to get approval in your area to replace your network node. Was told this is due to nation wide network saturation due to pandemic so hopefully it will get better as more people start to return to work
