very slow upload, download slower than usual, connection drops

Is anyone else experiencing very slow upload speeds in Phoenix AZ?  It started yesterday.  The problem is intermittent. Yesterday, we had a Cox tech inspect the lines on the pole in our alley. 

The connection improved.  Today I am experiencing a very similar problem. 
I work at home and the software we use requires a faster upload speed.

I pay for 500/10 and have the updated panoramic model.




I called Cox again this morning the rep saw lots of packet loss and connection problems. My connection improved shortly thereafter.  
Another tech is on the way today.  

I have been working at home for over 2 years and have never reset my modem on a regular basis.  
Cox sent me an email earlier in the week about the planned outage in my region to increase bandwidth.
I wonder if one of the reasons why Cox is now doing this service upgrade is due to similar problems experienced by many other local users.

Today, a tech found an attenuator on the box attached to my house.  Yesterday, a tech working in our alley removed an old part used by Cox to prevent access to premium channel content.  Both parts were supposedly creating this problem.  Hope it is resolved.  Why would these two parts create a major issue now, while installed causing no problems for over a decade?  I've missed over 7 hours of work during the past 2 days due to this problem.

Yes! I live near Northern & 12th Street. Ever since the power went out a couple weeks ago followed by Cox being out, my speed has been slow. Where are you located?

We have not experienced any recent power outages.  

I hope the senior tech can fix this today.  This is sad.

A senior tech came out yesterday and replaced the line cox service connected to my house and the utility pole in our alley.  He could not find any problems and found my connection is good.  I told him we are experiencing intermittent drops and slow upload speeds.  He said that the only way to identify packet loss is by having a tech come out to my house and the reps who I spoke with on the phone cannot measure packet loss.  This upload speed is still unacceptable.  The software I use at work is lagging.  It was not lagging when the upload speed was between 8-10 Mpbs.  I'm feeling desperate at this point and might go ahead and get gigablast for a month to see how that impacts my upload speed. Perhaps Cox will upgrade me for free this month due to all these problems.  I miss Ultimate Internet 300/30!

  Oh wow.  speed is back after being on the phone with Cox for an hour
This is not fair.  The local office won't answer calls although they are open until 2pm.  I tried calling several times.  I'd like to have my modem replaced.
