Cox Not Allowing 3rd Modem to Connect?
Hello, I recently just started with Cox and for some reason my modem has not been able to connect to their service. At first I was using a Netgear CM700 that would signal having the upstream and downstream just fine but would be denied connection to the internet. A tech came out and we figured maybe something went wrong with my modem since the Cox Panoramic Gateway worked just fine. He recommended getting an Arris, so I did. I got the Arris SB6190, fresh from the box and the same exact issue occurred again. I have talked with support and they said everything is activated and it should be working, yet when I go onto my account it still lists the Panoramic Gateway as my modem device and I cannot add another modem to my account. There is another tech coming to try to figure it out, but largely I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem with Cox or is this some new scummy practice by them to force people into renting their modems? Does anyone have any advice in getting the modem to work? I've tried power cycle, switching coax cables, etc. Nothing has worked as again all I get are two solid blue lights for the upstream and downstream and a solid white light for the internet.

ARRIS SB8200 Modem levels too low. Internet Speed to Slow for Gigablast Plan I'm paying for
I been talking in circles with the cox customer support for days they say everything is fine on their end. I called ARRIS today and they said my signal levels were low on the modem and that's why I'm not getting the speed I'm paying for. I finally convinced them to send a technician out after they in multiple attempts tried to convince me something was wrong with my network equipment and tried to sell me their router that doesn't even support my plan. They said I should be getting 40 or more on all channels.
