I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Currently, there's an unplanned outage that's affecting service. Techs are working towards a resolution with no ETR. You can view outages and sign up to receive alerts on www.cox.com/.../outages.html.
Once it's been resolved and you're still having an issue elt us know and we can perform some troubleshooting steps.

    I signed up for outage updates and they said it was fixed this morning. It was working fine until about 10 minutes ago to where I'm back to 0.25 upload speed. 

    I'd love some answers, this is extremely frustrating that I have to use my phones Hotspot to use the internet. 

    Please let us know what is going on.

      @JRuck504, I can confirm that you are no longer in an area wide outage. However, your modem is reporting some time out errors and noise on the upstream channels. Are there any splitters or signal amps on the cable line going to the modem? -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

        Hi Allan, everything was installed in November as I am a new customer. The installer found the coax coming from outside and it goes straight from the wall to the modem.
