D3.1 Gigablast Activation: Is Pro Install really needed???
Hi! I currently have the Ultimate package in Phoenix area. Have a Docsis 3.1 modem (Netgear CM1000) with 1 bonded OFDM downstream channel (159, 300MHz, SNR over 40dB). I added the gigablast option via cox internet order website and received direction to call to complete. When I call the sales rep won't complete the order without a "pro install" truck roll for $75. Per reports on dslreports cox forum - a truck is NOT required but some sales reps are demanding it while other sales reps are transitiioning order to complete to trigger a modem provision and all ends up well. Some would-be-upgraders denied by less-trained sales reps are simply calling in many times to get a 'trained' rep. Is there secret we can use to get the sales rep to execute the order without a trick roll? I hate being the jerk that has to escalate to supervisor and not willing to call in a dozen times to get lucky.. Any hints on how I can to get past the sales rep so pay Cox more money for the upgrade?

Dropping packets and unreliable internet connection
I have had this issue several times. Just called in again to get it resolved. I have been in IT for over 10 years and this is ridiculous. I work from home primarily and cannot have an unreliable internet connection. At least once a week lately I get issues and see consistently over 25% packet loss. I see this pinging 8.8.8.8 (google open DNS server) or cox.net or any website. Sometimes simply disconnecting power and reseating the cable modem will resolve, others I have to call in or have a tech come out. I have had more issues since moving to my current address and they continue to go unresolved. Yet I pay my bill and have never even been offered a credit or any form of compensation for continuing issues with my services. I've been with Cox over 8 years. I've even previously had support tell me my router was the issue - ludicrous considering I have had a field tech come out and connect his equipment and also see the same loss testing the lines. But to appease support I bought a new $150 router. What does it take to get Cox to resolve this issue once and for all? I'm at the point of cutting services way down (dropping my bundle) and adding AT&T as a secondary connection to my router so I can have consistent internet and simply streaming all of my TV. Is this what I need to do? Or is Cox going to be able to finally resolve my issues permanently and do something for customer retention?

Chronic Random Disconnection
I've been a Cox internet customer for about two months now and, thus far, it has not been a happy experience. Since the first week of service, I've experienced random disconnects at all hours, anywhere between 2-6+ times a day. It doesn't matter how many people are using the connection or what time of day it is, the Netgear gateway I bought from Cox loses the connection and resets, seemingly at random. At first I thought I had a bad gateway but, no, it's normal behavior for this unit to restart itself to reset the lost connection. When it does happen, it seems to happen in clusters. The connection will be good for hours, then go down three times in ten minutes. I did have a Cox tech come out, and he said he replaced a bad splitter outside the apartment and removed a bit of old latex paint from inside the connection in the apartment. I did notice that my SNR dropped below 50, and the connection was rock solid for two hours after he left, when the modem reset itself again. That was a couple of weeks ago and I can, usually, surf the web without interruption, but hardly an Amazon movie or online game goes by without a modem reset. Here's the event log from my gateway which, for some reason, doesn't seem to record the many, many restarts I've experienced. But there are a few; the critical T-4 and T-3 time outs are representative. Wed Mar 19 19:23:58 2014 Notice (6) TLV-11 - unrecognized OID;CM-MAC= Tue Mar 18 17:56:24 2014 Critical (3) Dynamic NV full - recovery invoked Tue Mar 18 17:25:38 2014 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CMTS-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Time Not Established Warning (5) DHCP WARNING - Non-critical field invalid in response ;CM-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CMTS-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CM-QOS=1.0;CM-VER=3.0; Time Not Established Notice (6) Honoring MDD; IP provisioning mode = IPv4 Time Not Established Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CMTS-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CM-QOS=1.0;CM-VER=3.0; Time Not Established Critical (3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CMTS-MAC=xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx;CM-QOS=1.0;CM-VER=3.0; I left CenturyLink because their DSL was slow and expensive. They were, however, reliable.

Arris Surfboard CM8200/ SB8200 vs Motorola MB8600
Can anyone confirm that the CM8200 and SB8200 are identical with the exception of the CM beeing the carrier version and the SB the retail version? And is there any reason to consider the Motorola Zoom MB8600 oer the CM8200/ SB 8200? Both are using the Broadcom BCM3390 chipset and not an Intel’s Puma 6 or 7 with the latency bug. Planning to shop the CM8200 that's $180 from Cox vs the SB8200 that you can find for a little less.

Cox Data Usage meter seems way off
We were told we'd gone over the 400 GB cap for the "Ultimate" package (leaving aside that "Ultimate" really shouldn't have a cap, and should be a big part of the perks for paying 4x what basic internet costs). Since I hadn't been tracking it, I couldn't say that we had not. I looked at the graph and it's very suspicious. It seems that we apparently *never* use less than 10 GB, whether or not we are actually home or doing anything. Of course, this could be because someone else is accessing our wireless somehow without us knowing. So I have set up a meter on our router. The meter says we've used 16 G over the past 3 days (since this includes a weekend, this is in line with what I expect, we are fairly heavy users which is why we have the "Ultimate" package") But once again the Cox data meter shows more than 10 for each *day* with a total of 33 G used! It's not a simple double charge -- I've been watching it each day and it's just a coincidence that it's presently right around 2x. All this happens the month after some Cox service personnel worked on the local neighborhoods network. Coincidence? Possibly. Possibly not. Who are we supposed to call about this? Regular technical support is great for things like setting up a local data meter on your router (thanks, by the way) but it doesn't seem like they can do anything about a broken data meter on their own. In case it matters, we bought our own DOCSIS 3 modem that was supposed to be compatible with Cox. Is that a possible source of metering trouble?

Arris SB8200 Docsis 3.1 GigaBlast No Blue Lights Up or Down
Called Cox for new internet options. Told me I was grandfathered in at 150. Quoted me 300 and Giga. Call ended. I had a Netgear 3.0 modem / router combo that worked fine. I buy a 3.0 modem and a mesh router to increase my WIFI area. I try to get it calibrated only to find out I have a work order for GigaBlast speeds and my 3.0 equipment is unusable. So as a patient person I go and swap my 3.0 for a 3.1 modem costing me more money. I call to get the 3.1 calibrated by Cox and it shows all green lights 3.0, no blue lights for Arris SB8200 Docsis 3.1 GigaBlast No Blue Lights Up or Down. Speeds are 250 down and 20 up and that is before and after a modem factory reset with ONLY my laptop plugged in. Tried with a desktop as well with the same result. - Called and asked was GiagBlast and Docsis 3.1 avilable in my area and told it was - Forced to GigaBlast without request and told I can't return to my original speed - Asked me to upgrade my equipment to take advantage of GigaBlast but when equipment is installed it I only get 3.0 and low speeds - Called from 10am to Midnight and text chat too. After dealing with 6 different people and a whole day wasted I still got nowhere - Best of all I was told no work could be done while there was an "outage" in my area. One that lasted from 2pm to 7pm, and then another that started at 12am forecast to end at 6am. Anybody else have these issues and if so how were they resolved??? - Do yourself a favor and DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT engage in the text chat option from your phone. A waste of time and resources!!!!

Unable to sustain full upload speeds
I am a Cox Internet Premier user in North San Diego County, CA. For the past month or so, my router/gateway (Netgear N450/CG300Dv2) has been dropping my connection at intervals varying from 8 to 24 hours, then reconnecting at near full download speeds, but often with reduced upload bandwidth. Logging into the router, the connection tab shows that I'm only connecting to one of four upload channels after the reset. I've done several tests with Cox technical support on the phone; I've even replaced my Netgear N450 (twice!) and yet the issue persists. I have an appointment scheduled for a technician visit next week, but I've had my lines checked and repaired at least three times over the past year and I'm getting frustrated with the lack of reliability in the wake of all I've done. This is my first forum post, so if there is any more information I need to provide please let me know. I'm hoping that I can get a resolution here.
