Re: Gigablast Speed Inconsistency/Upstream Channel
I "upgraded" to Gigablast two weeks ago. It took 10+ phone calls before a helpful tech came out and toldme that Cox would nevertell me over the phone that the problem was their fault (they never entered the S/N or Mac ID to activate my modem), butthe issues I was experiencing were entirely on their end. Now that it is set up, I can get online, but I can't hold a steady connection and has made online gaming nearly impossible. After reading a lot of these posts, the ping spikes that we are experiencing are likely on Cox's end as well.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Packet loss/bad connection Rocket League
Where are you located? I have the same hardware as you (SB8200) and just upgraded to Gigablast 2 weeks ago. Ever since upgrading, I have noticed packet loss at similar times that you are experiencing them. I didn't have issues before when I was paying less for slower speed. Last night I couldn't hold a steady connection and dc'ed from multiple games. This has been happening on and off for 2 weeks straight.14Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gigablast Speed Inconsistency/Upstream Channel
I also have a SB8200 and noticed issues with ping spiking. My manual says it supports Docsis 3.1, but I too am wondering if Cox supports the hardware at 3.1 upstream. Uploaded a pic of a test I ran from Southern California to Washington. Ping Test 2/19/20 ^ Click to view1View0likes0Comments
