Connection Issues
I have been having chronic network issues for over 4 months now. At first I thought that my issues were purely due to the fact that I was experiencing issues when running my PC off of a wifi extender, but after setting up a new hard wire connection to my computer, I have been experiencing the same behavior that I had been seeing before. Also, my issues have not been limited to my computer. When connecting to my wifi network on my phone or TV I experience the same behaviors that I do when being connected via ethernet. I now keep my network graph constantly open on one of my monitors so that I can take a screenshot of it whenever I experience issues. Since October 7 of this year I have over 240 screenshots with each showing the same behavior. I will be operating like normal and then I will experience a sudden loss of network quality to the point of not being able to load basic web pages. There are hardly every any noticeable symptoms that can show that I am about to lose connection, most graphs are healthy for whatever operation I happen to be performing at the time whether that be video streaming, downloading, or playing online video games. The constant issues have becoming an increasingly annoying detriment to my daily routine and have even prevented me from being able to play most online games out of fear that I will be kicked from the match to a loss of connection and will face penalties for perceived poor teamwork.3.3KViews0likes5Comments
Internet disconnection
Hi, my internet recently started to disconnect many times, especially when I was playing Dota2. The wifi was also unavailable when the router disconnected. So I went to Cox store and exchanged my router and reinstalled the Windows on my desktop. But nothing changed. I got disconnected yesterday while playing Dota2. Please help.993Views0likes1Comment
Lag and Disconnects - WinMTR Results
I am having lag and disconnects while playing black desert online. I have ran WinMTR and found a 49% packet loss on one of Cox's nodes. I have read other forums that are talking about running WinMTR and it's the same node with issues. What can I do to resolve this issue?1.8KViews0likes3Comments

My internet keeps going down for 5-10 intervals and ive had 5 techs out here.
So starting on 9/28/17 my internet started having interments drops in connection. Ive had 5 techs out here since then and theyve replaced all my lines my router 3x's and run several speed tests. None of them have been able to figure out the issue and they refuse to check the node for corrosion or anything like that. Ive asked 3 times now for someone to check the node and I keep getting the run around. I cant stream or play video games because everytime i try my internet will go down several times during the hour. I had one technician tell me it was because of the website i use to watch videogame streams, which is twitch.tv. At this point im really thnking about switching because im getting so sick and tired of all the run around ive been getting. Also i checked some levels and logs while it was happening and unfortunately i cant ever check it while its happening because my internet isnt working but this is the most i could find. 10/3/2017 8:54 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:54 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:54 84020200 5 Lost MDD Timeout;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:54 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:56 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:56 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:56 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:56 84020200 5 Lost MDD Timeout;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 8:57 82000400 3 Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:06 73040100 6 TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:08 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:08 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:08 84000700 5 RCS Partial Service;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:08 84000500 3 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:08 84020200 5 Lost MDD Timeout;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:26 73040100 6 TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 1/1/1970 0:01 82000200 3 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 9:55 73040100 6 TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 11:16 82000200 3 No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; 10/3/2017 23:51 73040100 6 TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC=78:23:ae:21:a6:9d;CMTS-MAC=00:38:df:9a:5a:41;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;2KViews0likes5Comments
Intermittent Daily Packet Loss and Connection Drops - 92673
Hello, I'm in Southern California, ZIP CODE 92673 and have been getting intermittent packet loss and connection drops on a daily basis. It usually happens in the late morning or early afternoon when I'm working from home and is proving to be very disruptive as I'm on wi-fi calling and the calls often drop during the middle of a conversation or I lose my Skype session. I suspect that node saturation might be a factor, but need someone to take a look. I have used continuous pings to isolate the issue and feel that the problem is occurring beyond my equipment. I'm hardwired from my laptop to my router which is connected directly to Cox's Cisco DPQ3212 DOCSIS 3.0 2-PORT Voice Modem. Attached are pictures of the power levels on the modem pings to different hops when everything is working fine. I'm now working to capturing examples of when the packet loss occurs so you can see where things are failing. Since I'm using PingPlotter Free, I only have 10 minutes of history, so I will attempt to catch this problem soon. So right now I have continuous pings to my router (192.168.1.1) the internal IP of the cable modem: (192.168.1.1), My External Public IP and the first private 10.X address that is a hop away from the cable modem. I assume this IP is on the node? TTL for the 10.X address is 254. While I wait to catch this packet loss, can you take a look at the attached power levels to see if my modem has adequate power levels and Signal to Noise Ratio's? Also, not sure if it helps, but when the packet loss/drops occur, the power levels on the downstream spike by at least +1 dBmV. BTW, I replaced the Cisco cable modem a few weeks ago and nothing has improved. Phil3.5KViews0likes6CommentsInternet goes out every afternoon at the same time.
I see many people are having this same issue but since I actually signed up to reply, this forum will only let me report abuse (what's with that?) I am seeing several with the same router/gateway, all have been on about 1 to 2 years. Netgear CG 3000d. My Internet goes out every afternoon around 1:30 PM. I can almost set the clock by this but it has been slowly getting later each day (been happening for a couple of months now.) They keep wanting to send someone out but since they can only give me a two hour window of when the might show up, that isn't going to help much. It makes no difference if I go through the entire reboot sequence, it just comes back on by itself, usually about 20 minutes but it was an hour the few week it started happening. I tried turning the modem off, first for a couple of hours, then for a week when I was on a trip. Can anyone give me a good explanation of how/why my modem could be doing this? I have it plugged directly in to the wall, I will try another outlet but that doesn't make any sense either.4.7KViews0likes5Comments

Can't access my Cox email via iMap
Since July 19 2017 I've been unable to download iMap messages from my Cox account. The error messages say either that I've been disconnected from the server or that I'm using too many iMap channels. Regarding the latter, I reset the maximum number of channels to 1 but still get the message. This is happening on both my home computer and at work. Until this morning I had not changed any settings in my email configuration, but at home this morning I changed the incoming port from 993 to 995 to bring the settings into accord with Cox's latest documentation. But this had no noticeable effect. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 52.2.1 on iMacs running Mac OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Can you please shed some light on what's going on and how to fix these problems? Thank you.1.6KViews0likes3Comments
Scheduling a line replacement.
Hello, I recently got the OK from my landlord and the house owner to replace a faulty line to the tap that has been the cause of major disconnections to my internet service for the past few months. Is it possible to schedule for one of these ASAP?1.3KViews0likes1Comment
