Internet buffering/freeze

Ever since the new fiber upgrade-we have had nothing but problems with the tv buffering freezing along with the computer and phone on Wi-Fi. Have tried numerous times to get help with this. Switched out my Motorola modem/router to a cox leased box...still no help. I am so extremely frustrated at this point that I am considering waiting to AT&T internet. Anyone else having these problems?

        Didee, You shouldn't have to reset the modem or router so often. We may need to keep your appointment for this visit to help further ascertain a solution. We can help investigate what the modem is reporting. You may email us at Cox.Help@cox.com with your name and complete address.
