Why is that every fine on cox's end but terribly bad inconsistent on my end for internet speeds?
HI. I signed up for the gigablast in august of 2021 i believe and Ive had issues with it. We switched modems many techs came out etc. My speed at its peak even when it early mornings on a weekday is no more than 600mb download and 4 to 18 upload and that's hardwired...wireless its 96 to 260mbs download and 2 to 15mbs upload. its always inconsistent and its always that low for the gigablast internet plan. why is that?
been this way remember since 2021 and its now November of 2022.....modem not obstructed...and when tech tests speeds on his devices he gets the max..tech witness on my 4 devices the slow speeds...what to do now?

Downgrade your plan to its consistent measurement hardwired to the modem: 500 Mbps.
Your wireless measurements is a different story. Routers are equal-opportunity bandwidth-sharers so the more devices connected during a measurement, the less the measurement.

What modem are you using, and have you tested with a single ethernet connected computer direct to the modem? WiFi will never be an accurate method of testing. The fact that the tech is getting good speeds and you are not could be any number of things. Test with a computer connected direct via ethernet, booted up in safe mode with networking. The reboot to normal modem, and compare the speeds, if they are similar then we can take the next step, of they are radically different, faster in safe mode than normal mode, it could indicate some background software slowing the computer down.
