Internet Down, Just Upgraded.

Just upgraded to 500 Mbps yesterday AND went into store to get a whole new modem. Getting maybe 30 Mbps, sometimes 0. It will stay up to what’s it’s supposed to for about 10 minutes and go back down. 
Tried troubleshooting every way possible and nothing is working. Started a chat with an agent and it wasn’t much help either.. so frustrating.

    I called in concerned that my 256 mbs was slow - could I upgrade? The guy said, “yes! We can get you up to 500mbs but your bill will increase.” I went for it, since I need it for work. 

    Fast forward a month, many outages, I noticed my speed didn’t increase one iota. I call back and they say, after running my modem/unit, “You have a modem that is 5 generations old and I was paying extra for a whopping 3 mbps. Lord help me.

    As I write this, my blazing 3 mbps is currently in an outage.

      You are telling mine and many others story. They told me I needed to upgrade my modem and that did nothing. but make my wallet lighter.

      Lately I lose internet at least once a week.  Cox is garbage and has been for a long time. I just got ATT fiber in my area. I going to try them.
