Hi Kristen, it would be disheartening to see you leave the Cox family, and we apologize for the unstable connection. Are you on WiFi or are you hard-wired directly to the internet modem when experiencing these issues? If you're on WiFi, can you please hard-wire a laptop or PC directly to the modem and perform a speed test for us?
We suggest using the Cox Internet Speed Tool, http://bit.ly/2VsdGbX.
We'd like to see what upload speeds you are currently receiving. For additional support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at cox.help@cox.com, Facebook, or Twitter. I edited your initial post because of profanity. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

The computers we stream on are wired up to the router in a usual way. The issue is not with our hardware. Have a look at this pingplotter screenshot.
This is the sort of s-t we're dealing with over 30% packet loss. When it gets bad our upload speed tests show anywhere between 0.03 and 1.30 mbps.
I will not be getting in touch with you over Facebook or Twitter, partially because I'm not on those services, but mostly because I think being publicly shamed is the only way a conglomerate ever does anything to help it's customers. To that end, my viewership is well aware that Cox Communications is the reason why our streams are sometimes very buffering-heavy or have needed to be cancelled or cut short.
- Allan5 years agoModeratorHello KristenKerensky. It looks like the issue is beginning on hop 2. This could be the hand off from the router or just outside of the home. I recommend bypassing the router and running the test again. If you get the same results, we will need to have a tech come out and take a look. Please let us know the results. Thanks. -Allan Cox Support Forums Moderator.
