Downstream crawling / Upstream still fast

Hello -

I have been having an issue with my connection for the past 2-3 weeks. I pay for 300mbps down / 30mbps up and have had no issues until now. I am getting between <1mpbs to around 7mbps down at best. Unacceptable. I used to regularly get 300mb down and sometimes even faster at non-peak times. I've done all the troubleshooting COX suggested and now they want me to change out my cable modem as a troubleshooting step and (of course) recommend I rent the modem from them. No thanks. I'd rather pay for my own and not give another $10-$15 per month to Cox. My question is this: how can the problem be the modem if it is still capable of providing the advertised upstream speed? I have made no changes to the topology. Here are my modem's stats (below) if it helps. I don't know how to read them, so maybe someone here with more experience can tell me where the problem lies. Thanks, all!

Model: Arris SB6190

    Hi T-Dubs, your modem is currently not responding properly, as we are unable to communicate with it. Please check to ensure that all cables are tightly secured and free of damage. If we are unable to obtain signal levels from the modem, our best course of action would be to send out a service technician to the home, to address the issues. Please feel free to send us an email at cox.help@cox.com, for additional troubleshooting assistance. We can also be reached on Facebook and Twitter. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
