I have the Cox Ultimate 500 internet yet my download speeds are less than half what is advertised. They average between 150 and 175 Mbps. If I downgrade my service to Ultimate 250 will Cox force the speed even lower, or will it likely stay the same?

P.S. I have the Panoramic WiFi with the Arris TG1682G router
Like WMO wrote - for example -
I just got fiber. Paying for 100 up/down. With my laptop next to the router the best wireless speed I get is 50/50. Hooking up direct to the router with Cat 6 I get 104/106.
Sounds like you have an old DOCIS modem. DOCIS 3.0 can't do high speed. You will need a DOCIS 3.1 modem.

When I upgraded to 550mbps, I had to get the Cox Wfi Cable/Router (DOCIS 3.1) and the speed is sporadic. Some internet speed tests show 550mbps, but some show less than 20mbps. My downloads are barely reaching 1mb/s. I've connected the Cat-6 directly to my PC to the Cox wfi/router/modem and it made no difference. Wifi is faster than the ethernet for some reason.
