    Can you post a link to your speed test? Also, what are your signal levels? To see them go to 192.168.0.1 > User:admin password:password(unless changed) > Connection > Cox network. Looking for the downstream and upstream power levels. You can either upload a screenshot to Imgur or see here how to post pictures. Overall your downstream should be +5 to -5dB with a SNR above 35. Your upstream should be below 50dB.

It actually shows up around 90 kbps. So kilobytes.... a lot of websites pull up initially with a message "Hmmm… can't reach this page", and it takes a second for them to load or I have to refresh them and I get lots of error messages on sites that require input (expedia, ebay, etc.) or the pages just hang for awhile and then go to a gray screen.  the download speed usually shows up as 600+ Mbps. 

I have the top tier service (the gigablast one)

YOUR INTERNET SERVICE

Up to 35 Mbps upload

Can you run a speed test on a wired/ethernet system?

    I had assumed OP is on ethernet since they are getting 600Mbps down however it is a good thing to check.

      First, I assume posting 3 times was accident. Feel free to delete them. Next, try the official speed test found in the app or on this page. If that is slow, please post your signal levels.

        Yes, it was accidental. It didnt seem to post. Like I said, whenever I try to upload stuff it hangs.  I think the link for signal levels on imgur is : https://imgur.com/a/hJ0KjSs
