Terrible Latency/Ping, WinMTR results.
So, I have dealt with this for more than a year now, and even after moving out, I somehow managed to find a place with worst internet connection. Guy over the phone as I am sure technician will ignore my personal WinMTR results, and just use their ping test that will show it's all perfect, then I will be charged $100 for the technician showing up to tell me what the support agent told me. Anywho, below are my terrible test results when playing Overwatch. I haven't played a game, or streamed a show in two months because I either rubber band, jitter, or disconnect, or my quality changes every two seconds on my chromecast. I am not sure what to do. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WinMTR statistics | | Host - % | Sent | Recv | Best | Avrg | Wrst | Last | |------------------------------------------------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | 192.168.0.1 - 0 | 346 | 346 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 1 | | 10.134.92.1 - 2 | 324 | 318 | 6 | 39 | 212 | 18 | | 100.120.108.54 - 2 | 324 | 318 | 9 | 40 | 218 | 19 | | 100.120.108.0 - 2 | 324 | 318 | 8 | 41 | 218 | 19 | | langbprj01-ae1.rd.la.cox.net - 3 | 320 | 313 | 11 | 44 | 200 | 22 | | 68.105.30.130 - 2 | 324 | 318 | 12 | 46 | 207 | 23 | | ae1-br01-eqla1.as57976.net - 2 | 324 | 318 | 17 | 199 | 895 | 118 | | 137.221.68.77 - 2 | 324 | 318 | 11 | 44 | 213 | 23 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | No response from host - 100 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |________________________________________________|______|______|______|______|______|______| WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider573Views0likes0Comments
Worlds worst Customer Service
Congratulations Cox! You win the 1st place incompetence award for having the worlds worst customer service! Many of your CS agents are utterly useless! They lack knowlege, talk in circles, contradict themselves, and some outright rudely refuse to do their jobs! This is a result of bad training, bad management and bad employees. If you care about your reputation, why would you allow your company to be represented by so much abysmal failure? I know you also have some excellent CS reps, I give kudos to them, they are working extra hard to pick up the slack. Let go of the incompetents and reward the good ones they deserve it!1KViews2likes1Comment

Issues and concerns not addressed. Empathy or concessions was not provided nor was any ownership taken. The worst experience i have is always with cox and chat support. Horrible. I had moved service 4 months ago. Since then i have contacted cox on numerous occasions about the lies and broken promises via chat and service issues. No one in the chat department cares or even attempts to help besides "i can troubleshoot" The tech who installed my service lied about everything possible. I requested my home to be rewired, told with panoramic its not.needed and its the best offered..lies...lies..I have the ultimate package. Which recommended amount of devices 7-9. With this "upgrade" the tech provided 6 of the 7-9 slots are taken by cox devices. That is more than 50%! If the tect was honest and wanted to have a satisfied customer, he would have not suggested this knowing how many devices i have I work from home and every moment i spend rebooting, troubleshooting and contacting cox cost me money and it is now affecting my livelihood and my children.Solved3.5KViews0likes6CommentsUpload Speeds drop in the Evening.
Been having some issues as of late. in the evening the upload speeds drop considerably. to the point where my sons can not game online on their ps4. bought a new modem and new router thinking it would solve the issue. then we upgraded to the ultimate package at 300/30. sometime around 7pm every night the upload speeds drop and come back around 10pm or so. all other times speeds seem to be fine. what could it be? have had a tech out and he changed all ends on the cables and signal tests were good at that point. issue still hasn't been resolved. requency start Value This field below allows you to modify the frequency the cable modem start with its scan during initialization and registration.

PAYMENTS
I have to say, Cox was not my first choice as a service provider; I had a few minor issues with the company right away but didn't think it was a big deal. However moving forward, I my experienced has changed and has been a little more than upsetting. I have had several issues when trying to make payments! I don't know if there is something wrong with their IT department or Accounting department or both! Several times now, whenever I try to make a payment, I go through all the steps and everything is fine up until the last step which is to confirm the payment. I've had the following three issues: There are technical issues with the page. This one has happened less frequently than the following two but it happens a little too often. I log in and can't even attempt to make a payment because the page is unavailable. The"confirm" button does not work; I click away and nothing happens. No matter how many timesI try it or how many different ways (reloading, differentbrowser, different computer), the button does notwork!Finally frustrated, I leave the page and decide to attempt again the following day but same issues arise. I am able to make a payment, I confirm it, and receive a confirmation number then I receive a phone call that my payment is late! This is incredibly frustrating! I check my bank statement and thankfully, no payment has been processed meaning that they are not attempting to double charge. I know that it is not a problem with my bank since I have not ever had any other issues with any other company. All three issues described above are incredibly frustrating and time consuming. I am aware thatthere are different methods of payment but I work in Corporate for a bank, 45+ hours a week, I do not have time to be making phone calls or mailing checks! The last time I called to make a complaint about this, it was notevenaddressed by the person on the phone so Icancelled my service and it seemed like they very carelessly did so. Unfortunately Verizon Fios does not provide service in my area so I had to reinstall Cox. I was told that I would not be charged for restarting everything but in reviewing my next bill, found I had in fact been charged. These issues are getting to be ridiculous, time consuming, and very frustrating. I took the time to write this in hopes that people view and respond and hopefully COX will take this issue more seriously or I can just as easily take the time to look for abetter internet provider. Thanks, A4.7KViews0likes2Comments
