Cox having peering issues with GTT and Tata?
Hello, As you can see from the below link, I'm having issues with GTT and Tata. I first noticed this when speedtest.net would be unbearably slow but changing the server resulted in a normal test. Is anyone else having this issue? http://www.internethealthtest.org/?t=eyJ0aW1lX3J1biI6MTUxNTY0MzQxOTM5NCwicmVzdWx0cyI6W3sic2l0ZUlkIjoibGF4MDRfTGV2ZWxfMyIsInNpdGVUcmFuc2l0IjoiTGV2ZWwgMyIsInMyY1JhdGUiOjE0ODQyOS41ODIzNjk2NTczMiwiYzJzUmF0ZSI6MTA5MzIsIk1pblJUVCI6IjExIiwicGFja2V0UmV0cmFuc21pc3Npb25zIjowLjAwMTcwMDc1NjM4OTAyNTY0NTZ9LHsic2l0ZUlkIjoibGF4MDJfVGF0YSIsInNpdGVUcmFuc2l0IjoiVGF0YSIsInMyY1JhdGUiOjEyNDkuNDk0NzU1Nzc1Mzk0NywiYzJzUmF0ZSI6MTA4NjEsIk1pblJUVCI6IjI0IiwicGFja2V0UmV0cmFuc21pc3Npb25zIjowLjAzNDUxMjUxMDc4NTE1OTYyfSx7InNpdGVJZCI6ImxheDAxX0NvZ2VudCIsInNpdGVUcmFuc2l0IjoiQ29nZW50IiwiczJjUmF0ZSI6MTcxNDQ1LjE5ODE5NTMzNjU2LCJjMnNSYXRlIjoxMDkzNCwiTWluUlRUIjoiMTEiLCJwYWNrZXRSZXRyYW5zbWlzc2lvbnMiOjAuMDAzNDc2NjUzOTAzNDI0ODAzNH0seyJzaXRlSWQiOiJsYXgwNV9aYXlvIiwic2l0ZVRyYW5zaXQiOiJaYXlvIiwiczJjUmF0ZSI6MTQ1NTk0LjQzNjg5MzE1MjQ1LCJjMnNSYXRlIjoxMTA2NCwiTWluUlRUIjoiOSIsInBhY2tldFJldHJhbnNtaXNzaW9ucyI6MC4wMDAwMjM1MTUyMTA0MjE5NDEyNn0seyJzaXRlSWQiOiJsYXgwM19HVFQiLCJzaXRlVHJhbnNpdCI6IkdUVCIsInMyY1JhdGUiOjEwNDkuODAzODIxOTkyMTEzNiwiYzJzUmF0ZSI6MTA3MDUsIk1pblJUVCI6IjI0IiwicGFja2V0UmV0cmFuc21pc3Npb25zIjowLjA0Nzg1NjQzMDcwNzg3NjM3NH1dfQ==

Connection to XO in San Diego
I use to have a solid and fast connection to XO in San Diego. Something has changed in the last month or so and the connection now goes via San Jose over to Level 3 and then back down to XO. My latency has consequentially gone from <20ms to over 50+. I would like to know if the change in connection to XO is a temporary thing or if that is a permanent change in Cox's peering arrangements. I am a Cox San Diego customer. Please let me know the answer so I can plan accordingly.

YouTube is unusable with the fastest connection. Is Cox responsible for this?
After having problems for weeks of not being able to stream YouTube videos, I decided to do some research. The link below shed the most light on the subject, and I would like to know if Cox is having peering agreement issues or any other type of business deal that would be making YouTube unusable for me. If any Cox customers are having trouble streaming YouTube, I suggest taking a look at this article: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/why-youtube-buffers-the-secret-deals-that-make-and-break-online-video/ I pay $100 a month and my most recent speedtest.net results were great, 92 Mb/s down, 23 Mb/s up, but I CANNOT stream a 60 second YouTube clip at 240p resolution without it buffering 10+ times and taking 15+ minutes to play a 1 minute video clip. While AT&T U-Verse may not offer the same speeds, if I can't watch YouTube it is a deal breaker for me. From this great article (linked above), it says AT&T is one of the best behaved ensuring problems like this don't happen. "Schaeffer said this is true of all the big players to varying degrees, namingComcast, Time Warner, CenturyLink, and AT&T. Out of those, he said that 'AT&Tis the best behaved of the bunch.'" I was a U-Verse customer for 4 years and never had problems streaming YouTube videos. This isabsolutelyunacceptable that it is not working, and I really hope that it isn't because Cox is trying to get payments for upgrading their equipment. Considering the fact that I'm waiting on a proposal for fiber service at my work from Cox, I find this very disappointing and I would love some answers, especially after taking a look at the article on this. I would like to know if Cox participates in Google's Peering or Caching programs. https://peering.google.com/about/
