Re: Packetloss Occuring Only At Night.
Looks like a typical oversaturated node. You will find hundreds of posts on here, dsl reports forum and cox subreddit. To rule out your signal, post your modem signal level and log page. Go to 192.168.100.1 in a web browser. Username and password is admin/admin admin/password or admin/motorola if it asks.12Views0likes2CommentsRe: Can't connect to specific website
Try to ping it in cmd and run trace route to it. Commands: ping socialclub.rockstargames.com tracert socialclub.rockstargames.com Post output of both. If neither resolves an IP address you might have a dns issue. It's fine if it times out, but should say something like this: "Pinging socialclub.rockstargames.com [104.255.105.71] with 32 bytes of data:".25Views2likes4CommentsRe: 3 outages of 6 hours, 2 over 12 hours in the last 10 days, in Las Vegas
Hey there, I'm up in northwest Las Vegas myself. Currently Cox is experiencing oversaturated nodes all over the city which is affecting internet negatively. They were already at their peak prior to Covid and now way over their peak because everyone is home and online at the same time. They might be splitting your node, which will help you plus your neighbors. Mine was out for 4 hours while they performed the split and a few times prior. I know they did do a news story talking about that they were going to do this. They did say on the story that they would leave a note on everyone's door 2 days prior and sending flyers out to everyone that would be affected by the outage. Guess that didn't happen. https://news3lv.com/news/local/demand-for-cox-internet-service-skyrockets-under-stay-at-home-order31Views0likes1CommentRe: High saturation node, slow internet speeds, intermittent drops and nothing they can do?
According to cox they were ready for the demand. LOL https://newsroom.cox.com/cox_internet_changes_to_assist_students_-_remote_workers "During these uncertain times, we don’t want our residential customers to worry about their internet connection. Our network is built to handle peak use day and night to meet the full needs of families’ demands for entertainment, school assignments and late-night deadlines."12Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gigablast Speed way below Expected in Northern Virginia
I feel like the testing using their meter isn't scientific. They literally connect it directly to the coax. It could be bypassing traffic prioritization. Might only be testing to the node and not through the node. Who knows.13Views1like3CommentsRe: Las Vegas: 88% Node Saturation, Failed Upload Speeds & Near Daily Outages
I'm in Las Vegas as well. It took about 8 months to get my node split. Still isn't 100%. Still get slow speeds and packet loss at peak times. Make sure they compensate you. Check and see if you can get CenturyLink fiber.9Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slow speeds, packet loss, Edmond Oklahoma
I did the FCC complaint route, you get to talk to someone higher up at corporate after that. At least I didn't feel like they were reading from a script and actually admitted to the node being the issue. Took 8 months for my node to be split. Even post split is still not 100%, get packet loss during peak times, probably was so oversubscribed needs a second split. Definitely improved, though compared to before. Unfortunately, in my area, cox is the only viable option. The phone company, centurylink, offers DSL and fiber but the fiber isn't in too many areas and DSL is worse. The problems really got bad when they released their gigablast package without upgrading their infrastructure. I believe they did it because so many people cancelled their TV service to stream and they needed to offset that loss. However, by doing that, they taxed their network further than it was before. Maybe they didn't expect it to be so popular? Either way, docsis is a dying transmission method and it's only a matter of time before we all have fiber coming up our driveways.24Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gigablast Speed way below Expected in Northern Virginia
The uncorrectables clear every time you reboot the modem. You would have to leave it hooked up for awhile to really check for them.Likely over-saturated node. FCC complaint if they don't fix it in the next call or two and you will get to speak to someone higher up at corporate that will admit it and be able to check for resolution. The level 1 techs you speak to on the phone are clueless.5Views0likes0Comments
