I am using cloud services heavily. Within the last year, I see a constantly lowering upload speed. Why? How to fix it?

it feels like that some times. cause they dont seem to care about people that would rather have more upload. hell i would rather have 100mbps upload and they can drop that so called 1 gig to 500 and ill pay the same price.. lmao

I should exploit your backwards views and sell you oceanfront property in Oklahoma. First, I and all other Cox customers didn't subscribe to a name ("Essential," "Preferred," Ultimate," etc) but instead to a capacity (50, 100, 300 Mbps, etc). I originally subscribed to a 100 Mbps capacity because it's all the capacity I needed and still only need. However, Cox doesn't tether your plan to a capacity but instead to a name. For example, I have always had an incarnation of a "Preferred" plan but a "Preferred" plan at a different capacity: 100 to 150 to 250 Mbps. Moreover, after what you had just written, I guess their "Preferred" plan was originally 50 Mbps...so you'll be reinforcing my point. Second, a lower plan would logically cost a customer less money than a higher plan; for example, a 50 Mbps plan would cost less than a 100 Mbps plan. This is where it'll be tricky for you so hang in there. If Cox was to eventually "raised the lower packages UP"...at their lower prices, mind you...why didn't Cox just roll the name of my package DOWN to my original 100 Mbps needs? It's because the lower package..."at no cost to you!"...would have lower my original 100 Mbps plan to the cost of the 50 Mbps package, and Cox didn't want my bill to decrease because I would have been paying Cox less money. We can't have this! It's a shell game to assign your subscription to a name instead of a capacity. I had originally subscribed to 100 Mbps, Cox raised "Essential" to 100 Mbps and "Preferred" to 250 Mbps. Where is my original 100 Mbps plan? I could always rollback to "Essential"...with its now 5 Mbps upload. Clear as mud? I didn't think so. I tried.

What plan do you subscriber? Cox lowered the uploads on certain plans to get you to pay more for their higher plans. www.cox.com/.../speeds-and-data-plans.html

Cox hasn't lowered the upload speeds to get you to pay more, that is inaccurate.

i have there highest plan and just the past day or so. my upload speed drops to .3 mbps on just about any speed test site i try. same thing seems to happen every year..

Unacceptable low upload speed

  Are you testing using ethernet or WiFi? What modem/router are you using? Are you really on the 2 Gbps plan which is the highest plan?
