Terrible packet loss while playing and streaming all video games using Gigablast
So, every since I got COX service I have had unbearable levels of packet loss. As stated above I am currently using the gigablast service which has 1000mbps down and 35mbps up speeds. The packet loss only gets worse throughout the day and I haven't had a day where my packet loss has been stable at even 1% packet loss. I have called customer support multiple times and they only send their useless technicians that claim that there are no problems in the system. Out of the 100 that have come out some have revealed that there is an issue and that the field team needs to come fix the tap outside the house. You would think this is where everything gets fixed. But no, since this is an intermittent issue they see there is no issue on their side and simply close my ticket without telling me. The logic on the side of these so called technicians is preposterous. I simply have no idea what to do with COX at this point as it has been over a month now since I first reported this issue. I really hope someone here can help me resolve this **. THINGS I HAVE DONE: Replaced modem and router changed all my lan cables factory reset my hard wired pc used cox's panoramic router modem combo PLEASE HELP ME HERE IM GETTING 3%-25% loss in the mornings until around 5 and can go up to 75% in the afternoons.8.4KViews0likes12CommentsJUST ORDERED CENTURYLINK - Goodbye Cox and Packet Loss Issues
Cox Team - You're officially being fired! This move is a direct result of your failure to remedy gross packet loss issues. I and many others did our part to help solve the problem - actually far beyond what's normally expected of customers. I've spent countless hours of my personal time on the phone, forums, running tests, talking to techs, swapping equipment, etc. all because I wanted to help fix the issue and remain a customer, after all I've been a loyal one for 12+ years. Most depressing thing about this situation is Cox's response - "It's not on our end." You see, regardless of what the true technical issue may be or where it truly resides, Cox ISthe "internet" to the end user. The technical components you leverage to provide services are not your customers concerns. Fact of the matter is your service, and it's been proven, is part of the problem, thus is your responsibility to work to correct, through whatever means necessary. I'm a manager in IT and this concept is not rocket science. I hope this continues to be a thorn in your side and I strongly urge customers who are experiencing this issue to jump ship and impress upon Cox's upper management that this IS a problem and it's not going away. I've included below a ton of documentation to illustrate how rampant this issue is for everyone out there.

I am going to have cox service set up in the near future and would like to purchase this modem, but I have seen connectivity issues associated with this modem on other providers. I was wondering if there have been any issues on Cox in the Oklahoma City area when using this modem ? I will be using the "Cox Internet Premier", no tv or phone services. Thanks in advance for the assistance.Solved4.4KViews0likes1CommentRandom high latency and packet loss

Help Desk Ticket Reference: #2942900 Checked with my neighbors, two are experiencing it, a third didn't report any issues and I found three other forum posts, exhibiting the same or similar behavior in my area. Atypical error seen in logs: Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out; My Steps to Reproduce: Saturate your upload bandwidth 100% for 1 to 2 minutes consistently. Time out occurs, the modem may go offline, but the connection is definitely lost. Power levels at the time of upload are approaching 52.0+. It's definitely something new on Cox's end as this has only been an issue for about 72 hours. Any form of upload saturation disconnects the modem, so all connectivity is interrupted. A house full of Netflix users is not a big deal, but the minute I upload something to a FTP or play Destiny utilizing P2P hosting, the whole internet goes offline. I have some time stamps of occurrence, I set my computer to test upload in 5 minute intervals using the newer/unbiased speed test website: http://www.testmy.net Speedtest.net is not really seeing any issue so I looked for alternatives. Packet loss is 0%, unless a T3 time out is just about to occur then we start seeing it go up in %. That's expected since a timeout is in progress. The correlation is that just before disconnection, upload speeds / bandwidths are low.

I've had a total of 5 techs in my home and 3 line techs out. I'm being told this is a distribution problem. There is a representative i have been in communication with due to the BBB complaint. Basically going on 3 months with this issue and nothing has improved. I'm paying for COX Ultimate and intermittently i am barely able to get 10 mbps down and 5 up. Someone needs to actually fix this problem. Look at the entire issue and come to a conclusion. I just now lost connection to everything i was doing and then it immediately reconnects. I have been pressured into purchasing a new modem to the tune of $99. Nothing has improved.

Title speaks for itself. My company shifted everyone to working from home. With my upload speed. Which lets be honest i dont have any upload speed i cannot even upload files that are less than 1 megabyte. I work in accounting. I cannot email invoices, i cannot save changes to excel sheets on the company cloud. I LITERALLY CANT WORK!!!!. I have contacted cox more times than i can count regarding this I have let then know many times my livelihood is at stake, AND THEY COULD CARE LESS! Agents and tier 1 supervisors are useless. They will spout nonsense saying they see no issue on their end or that my signal levels are strong. They blame my equipment which i had to go rent a cox modem to prove to these crooks the issue was on their end. Tech arrives and says the issue is at the tap on their end WOOP TEE DOO how suprising!! Submits a ticket and says the problem will be fixed in a 3-4 days. 10 days later my internet is STILL barefully functional. I call to find out the ticket is still open! And these useless reps cant give me any details other than that the ticket is open, this was on thursday. On friday the ticket is closed as "resolved" and my internet is STILL in the state described in the title. Here is my most recent speedtest. KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS DONE AT 3 AM!!! I am paying for 100 down and 10 up! https://www.speedtest.net/result/9849250742 50 down and 0.02 up!!!!!! + 6% packet loss!!!! I pay these crooks 83 dollars per month! What will cox do when i get fired because i cant work!? On Monday that will be the third consecutive day that I CANNOT DO MY JOB!!!! if i cox rep responds to this asking me to restart my router i am going to freak out! FIX YOUR GARBAGE INFRASTRUTURE!!! A class action lawsuit NEEDS to happen, these levels of service are abhorrent!2.1KViews0likes3CommentsIntermittent packet loss & high latency intermittently
My daughter is attending Georgetown University online and needs to be in a virtual classroom. Her grades depend on it. During her first semester which started January 6, she noticed she was losing her connection. We didn't think that much of it, and she would log back in. However, in April, she had to give two presentations and during those presentations, she lost her connection and the instructor and class was unable to view it. She thought it was her computer. However, after the school's IT Department went into her system and reviewed everything, they determined it was our internet connection with the "above issues." Last week I contacted a tech at Cox through a chat room. He said he would send a signal to reset my gateway (which I purchased from Cox -- A Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0). He never followed through with me to see if the issue was resolved. Now today, it happened again! My daughter's 2nd semester starts tomorrow. I need to resolve this problem ASAP!! Thank you for any assistance you may have!2.1KViews0likes1Comment
