Re: Gigablast upload speed???????
I no longer beliveve COX is responsible.I apolagize. It must be either the router, or something connected to it. I have the R8000 as the DHCP Server now, 12 hours still no drop in speed. I have moved all 10/100 devices to the R6400V2, and attached it as an Access Point to the R8000. It just seemed like the yellow link port was not getting GB speeds. So I will run it this way and see if the issue returns.

Re: Slower Speeds for 2 months
I apologize: The issue is defiantly with the router, somehow it slows down for what ever reason, I have factory reset all my routers, re-configured everything again, "again", and my speeds are around 940mb/s down. So I will be monitoring the network. Otherwise the issue has been resolved for the time being.

Gigablast upload speed???????
*** UPDATE *** The issue was definitely something to do with the router, I have switched the routers the other way, and using the R8000 as the main DHCP, and R6400V2 as the Access Point. I'm getting up to 946mb/s download, and almost 35mb/s upload. So I apologize for accusing COX of tampering with my router. Something on my network or the router itself is the issue, But I will monitoring it very closely. ****************** I keep getting this pull up banner ad to upgrade to Gigblast.Which I have been interested to do because my current speed is half what I pay for. 150ish download vs. the 300 I have been paying $155 a month for, I deserve a refund. However I cannot find any information about Gigablast "upload speed". Why are you hiding it? Also for the past 15 years I have not been able to access certain features of my account due to "ONLY THE ACCOUNT HOLDER" We've been using COX for nearly 20 years and have called several times and had me added as secondary account holder, You know the guy that has paid the bill for 20 years. Also please stop throttling my router. Never the less, I would like to at least see what the upload speeds are please before upgrading to Gigablast 400 "megabits per second"

Re: Slower Speeds for 2 months
A lot of stuff, 70GB is nothing these days. However I will indulge. Today I downloaded Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Modern Warfare. Together they were 350GB. But there are other things as well, Like my Videos, and Streaming. And my Archives. I do a lot of Video Editing, So I have to download videos that can be 150GB - 300GB, after I'm done editing they can be 400-500GB 4K60 So if I have to download a video, then edit it, and then upload, guess how long that takes. All day or 2 or 3 days to get work done. Throw in the fact I have to update my software, and download animations. archive an entire web server and download it, work on it, then zip it again, and upload it to the customer. Hours and hours my friend, I spent over $10,000 on my setup, and pay $155.00 a month so I can be bottlenecked by a *** ISP. That's a bad ROI in my opinion.

Slower Speeds for 2 months
For the past 2 months I have been getting only HALF of what I am paying for. Was getting over 300 now getting around 150. I was even getting 360 over a year ago. I have not said anything, but it's becoming a problem when my downloads are taking several hours longer. I have the same equipment, I also noticed when I reset my router and set it up, I was getting full speed, then it goes back to half. I hate to say it, but is COX throttling my internet? I know they have access to my router. If it's something on my part I would like to fix it, but like I said nothing here has changed, just the speeds. I thought about upgrading, but why upgrade so I can pay more to get what I am supposed to get now.. It's rather aggravating when spend hundreds of dollars on routers, and modems and pay $155.00 a month and getting throttled . Please advise. Thanks...
