Re: Upload Horrible
Last couple of days I have run it and will continue to monitor speeds. Connecting the modem directly to my PC doesnt change the issue, I've tried on a few occasions. It seems to be fine for now.... other than the download being ~half to 1/3 less than what I pay for. One small correction I have an ARRIS touchstone 8200A I know when I brought this issue up a few months ago the Tech that serviced my house said that the node in our area was known to be over capacity and scheduled to be split into 2 nodes. I dont believe that service has happened, but I believe that my area is overloaded. I understand that I may not get a full 1gb download like I pay for, but when the upload is so bad, I cant stream and games lag. Let alone trying to work emergency calls under those conditions - I just wish it was something that could be identified and resolved rather than saying my modem is bad.3Views0likes0CommentsUpload Horrible
I have an ARRIS SURFboard SB8200A that is 4 years old. I have a RT-AC3100 router. Gigabit Ethernet package There are days that are good and days that are bad. Download is usually around the 500-700 mark. It is the upload that is BAD. But it isnt all the time, and I dont know if there is any consistency to the times when it works or when it is really bad. I use speedtest.net to test. When it is really bad, I sit under 1 upload, and other times it is <5. There are sometimes when it is the 30+ that it should be, but more often than not it is under. Cox support suggests buying a new modem. I just dont feel like spending the money to keep going on a merry go round of problems that has been my Cox service. Any thoughts or input that has helped you or anyone you know?792Views0likes4Comments
