I've noticed a recent drop in the upload speed reported by Cox too. The upload speed reported by the Cox speed test is approximately half that reported by the Speakeasy speed test. It appears that Cox's speed test tool reports a slower upload speed.
Speedtest.net shows slow speeds also.
Cox and Speakeasy both use Atlanta and Phoenix. Cox's reported upload speed to Atlanta was slightly faster for me than the corresponding upload speed reported by Speakeasy, but Cox's reported upload speed to Phoenix was significantly slower than Speakeasy's speed to that city. (The upload speed to Atlanta was about double the speed to the other cities I tested with Cox's speed test tool, including some cities that were closer to me). It appears the city you select for testing can make a bigger difference in your reported speed than the speed test tool you use. I would suggest trying a number of different cities to get a better idea of your upload speed.
but when I connect wifi and stand next to my router I get a solid upload speed of 10. But when I am hard wired I do not sometimes.
CurtB and Zurg...thanks for the followup. LIke CurtB said, my OC uploads are about half what use to be a few weeks ago. I tried using the Speedtest.net (where I can also point to COX OC) and I get about the same 227+ download but 6.1upload. I seem to get faster Uploads from cities on the other side of the states....weird.
The problem must be something local to the COX network. I also tried Speakeasy and a few other testing sites. Many do not have similar locations, but I do see Uploads as high as 12+ from my site. Since I don't game, I'm not worried, but others may have major issues. I think my download is OK, maybe not like gigablast.
On another note, when you guys insert a image to this forum, do you use cut/paste like to a clipboard, or are you using Insert pulldown. I have trouble with both, and was just wondering how to. With Insert, I get a ? about URL, rather than a file I have stored on my PC.
