I held off on posting this for a while because I assumed we were just hitting a rough patch for a few days, but our speeds still haven't improved in over a week. I pay for the unlimited data plan, and I'm not getting the speeds stated for the plan. I get a little over 200 download speed IF I'M LUCKY, but realistically through-out the day we get anywhere from 100-150 which isn't 300 last time I checked. We bought that specific plan for the number of people in our house and when we don't get those speeds, it makes everything extremely slow. I think it's fair that COX should upgrade everyone to the best plan just for a month so WE CAN ACTUALLY GET THE SPEEDS WE PAY FOR! I'm not looking for any troubleshooting, just curious if anyone else is having issues recently?

Yep paying for the Preferred tier 150 Mbs / 50 Mbs and getting 36.5 Mbs up / 0.9 Mbs down

Gigablast and only getting 12.76/34.8...I have called in multiple times as well. Suppose to havea sup tech come out tomorrow to tell me everythings fine

pay for 300/30, just checked, 281/29.8

GigaBlast - Docsis3.1 - 727/11 should be closer to 900 / 35 Arris Modem => Ubiquity EcdgeRouter 4 => Cisco 3750X => Asus 5300

Yes and they cut out all the time.

Is anyone else getting lower speeds than normal?

  36 when I'm lucky off of my 150/50 currently testing at .9 Mbps. Barely could log on here. been this way for years. Service calls tended to end with "you should upgrade your modem" even with having the latest and greatest modem.

Agree with the lower speeds. i just recently 'upgraded' to preferred (150 Mbps download) and tested in the past few days and only get around 60-mid 80's. And, yesterday, internet went down for "routine maintenance" from 4-11 pm.
