Packet loss making games unplayable
Ping Plotter Blizzard World Of Warcraft East Coast Server IP Ping Plotter Google.com Ping Plotter 4.2.2.2 Ping Plotter Open DNS IP Ping Plotter www.Pingplotter.com I have had a technician come to my house and using his tool says he gets all green lights from my drop out. I have had Blizzard assure me their servers are fine but after taking a look at this ping plotter you can clearly see intermittent packet loss. So at the time the tech tested it was likely fine. Ping Plotter shows results over a ten min test and the random drops are more apparent. This is gigabit speed that is sorta new to my area and I feel like it costs me a lot to have, I am very happy with it. Until I want to game online or stay connected to something. I get enough packet loss/jitter to cause a disconnect. Sometimes its short enough that it corrects in game and I just get a rubberband like effect. sometimes its enough to cause the game to kick me. sometimes it just freezes the game and while i am disconnected from their server i can still walk around but not actually do anything in game. interact with characters, cast spells, etc. I would really love some help with this problem! I have tried so many things ruling things out to come to this point. Even as I type this I keep getting notifications at the top right of this website telling my I have 'successfully reconnected'. I need someone to take a look at these links and help to fix this Anyone else that looks will not be able to see these issues with they way they are testing it. I am not sure what else to do but reach out to the forums as home techs and tech support phone calls don't see this problem and assure me everything is fine. but its not fine. not at all. every web site i try to ping for some time shows the same results. 0 issues from my computer to my router the problem begins on the 1st hop after my router. its not consistent this is why the basic level support technician doesn't see it. I will provide any other info I need. I just want to solve this. so far I have paid for a few months of IMO expensive internet and have been unable to use it for the reason i got it. GAMING.

Speed throttling when playing games
I have up to 150/10 speeds, when doing whatever its at around that, but as soon as I turn on any game, doesnt matter at all, the speed gets throttled to around 5/1. Is there anything i can do about this other than run a macro on speed test to force it to stop throttling?
Gaming ping.
I've been playing online games for years, and in the past 4 months or so my ping keeps spiking horribly. I get kicked off games, I get input lag and delay. It's driving me crazy. I talked to 3 different techs. I had one of them convince me to upgrade my entire plan, so I got Gigablast last week, thinking it'll solve all my problems. Faster internet. Still pinging insanely high. I've had people come out and change lines. I've changed modems. I've turned off wifi. I've changed ethernet cables. I've done everything I was told to do, and I'm still getting high ping spikes over games. I work. I take care of sickly family members. In my moments of peace, I want to play online video games, but it's impossible when my ping is spiking so high constantly. Why is this?High Ping (Cox Gigablast, Wired)
Hello, For the past 2 months my ping has been averagely between 75 - 120 with huge spikes between. My connection was fine before . I've been trying different ways to improve it with no success. For Example: New ethernet wire, different combinations within Cox App, checking comp firewalls, VPN, checking comp for network hogs. I got Cox for gaming and it was great but now it is a lag fest online.
Unbearable ping and packet loss on rocket league.
I’ve been on this forum for almost a year trying to get some resolution to this issue. I see that I’m not alone. Trying to chime in on other discussions related to this issue come up short because all of the discussions are locked. We need to keep the screws tightened on Cox. This issue is ridiculous and has been going on for too long. I have no other ISP options in my area but I’m thinking about getting a hotspot until I can figure something out. Let me know if anyone else has figured out a fix. Cox will just tell you to check your cables, reboot router and hardwire into the modem. None of these things are the issue or resolve the problem.Packet loss, latency on gigablast in Scottsdale, AZ for the last few months
I've been battling issues similar to multiple other recent posts on the forums [1, 2, 3, 4].Since this problem has started, I've replaced the cabling in my house, gotten a new modem and a new router, but the problem has persisted. As of today, I've had four different techs come to my house. Techs 1 and 2 both replaced the connections from my house to my tap. Tech 3 did that too, but also said he added a "boost filter" because of "low transmits" to my modem. Tech 4 replaced connections as well, and then said he "lowered the signal" because it was "too high" at the modem (sounds like he removed the boost filter from tech #3 lol). Today I noticed there is one especially bad host in the tracerts to both a sample Rocket League server and to Google, and several other hosts giving packet loss. Sunday and Monday had very bad packet loss all day, while it cleared late Monday night (9pm-1am). Today there was supposedly an outage in my area, but my Internet access was fine, and in fact had very little packet loss. Lo and behold, as the "outage" was clearing up, the packet loss came back. Attached are several samples from yesterday and today. I chose a smattering of times from yesterday's samples to show that the problem was definitely exacerbated during peak times, but that there is still packet loss in the tracert on Cox's end even outside of peak, which persists even after today's supposed outage was fixed. In addition to this, the last phone tech I spoke to via the Cox Cares (what a BS name) actually remarked that Arizona was the highest reporter of these issues in their personal experience. To me, that's pretty telling. Obviously it's anecdotal, but with my data and the rest of the data from others it seems to me Cox has some serious infrastructure issues that they are actively choosing to avoid dealing with. Lucky for them they have a monopoly here, huh? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1irw5zdTEkkEb5818-UJJBkbLkP6DHzFM/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pkmfPBba58rBVsLE1dvU53BGUTjvKtNN/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gHbb7vwUXIT2FXpFvoeNbbpUsogvPwT7/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RmCGIvrtx1Sc1Q7w0yU7b6gbJP_ggy3G/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TmK8voj4KXR4li6N7XahocB4uA6HC5m1/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bLOWFfg9vnDwZ6PAbCz1G_406JJmSeXe/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LhWZxlJoREkhb7Fji6HAZ0X6EIC6J55d/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/19YF_sdIIG8sAyVAQorc_fYIj0X6cjlHO/view?usp=sharing [1]Gaming and warzone/CoD in general packet burst - Internet - Internet Forum - Cox Support Forums [2]Noisy node issues - Speed drops until reset - Internet - Internet Forum - Cox Support Forums [3]Terrible packet loss and jitter. - Internet - Internet Forum - Cox Support Forums [4]Another packet loss and ping spike issue - Internet - Internet Forum - Cox Support ForumsGaming and warzone/CoD in general packet burst
I've done everything I could. Replaced the modem, gotten a separate router with SQM/QoS capabilities, called a tech out, there have been no answers. I pay $120 on my bill every month for 500mbs and nothing to show for it. It's the most frustrating thing to have around 30-50ms ping but still have lag stutters, packet burst symbol pop up, and faulty hit registration due to speed spikes. Who else is feeling this? I want to back to 150, but its even worst! Can't even play a game due to the heavy lag. Is there a fix? Cause everyone at cox seems to be dismissive and gives no real answers or solutions.
Near Constant Rubber Banding in Online Games
Since moving to my current apartment and having Cox as my ISP, I have been unable to play online games without near constant rubber banding and stuttering. I am hardwired in on my gaming PC, and have even upgraded my router, modem, and all ethernet cables. Attached is a sample from PingPlotter when I play a game; though I am not sure if it shows anything helpful. Would greatly like to know what I can do to fix this, because it's becoming a serious issue! .https://share.pingplotter.com/P8HG2N3TJSwNAT type strict on PC
My NAT type has been strict for a couple of months now and it affects my connection on COD MW (only game I play online). I tried port forwarding the recommended ports but that didn't help. I also tried inputting a static IP but my internet stops working when I do this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using the Gateway panoramic modem from COX.
