Thanks jonathanj for taking notice. I spent a couple of days to setup an alternative ISP and get back up to speed. I am not yet canceling COX because I am still under the first year contract, and I have not completely given up. The alternative ISP has not been allowing YouTube to stream at its highest bitrate automatically tonight giving me pause. So, I just tested COX again to upload a 147 MB file, and I got 9 Mbps to Google and 8.5 Mbps to Amazon! Now this is what I call normal esp. during prime time. I have been in tech long enough to know to just try it again in a day or few. I will likely keep both services and even looked into getting a dual WAN router.
