Re: Can't get information from Cox on when internet connectivity will be back.
Preach on....preach on. Same here in Jefferson parish metairie. They are trying to get it working but we are not getting answers as to what failed. We get connected and then disconnected. Paying for 500 but getting 20 when it comes on but it drops out. Plus now they want the bill paid and some customers cannot get online to pay the bill, hmmm. Entergy knew what happened and they let us know why power was out. COX is a huge company that can let us know what is the problem. At least let us know if this is related to poles being down or are there other pieces of equipment in the area that need inspection??? -HELPRe: Slower download speeds after Hurricane Ida
Same here in Jefferson Parrish Metairie. I used to get over 500 down and now I'm down to 25 down. I checked modem logs and there is lot of noise SNR now. So, not sure if they are cleaning up the lines still or is there more equipment that needs to be repaired. TnxRe: where can I control the mtu for cox router
Yep, lower settings like 1492 solve certain packet loss issues but it's hit or miss if you solve anything. You can try lower settings and packets are not lost but have to be resent since MTU size is smaller. Older routers that had minimal hardware and would benefit from these tweaks but auto settings work fine in newer routers with more memory and faster CPUs. My advice test but leave at default. ThanksRe: DHCPv6-PD
Your equipment needs IP v6 ? Ok, here is what I know. IPv4 is 32-BitIP address whereas IPv6 is a 128-Bit IP address. IPv4 is a numeric addressing method whereas IPv6 is an alphanumeric addressing method. ... IPv4 offers 12 header fields whereas IPv6 offers 8 header fields. IPv4 supports broadcast whereas IPv6 doesn't support broadcast. Not sure what yourequipment does , if they need to know what cox had, I am pretty sure a senior cox tech can answer that. My .02
