Internet drops to <1M down and ~1.1 up after 9PM 7 nights a week
Hi there, Same situation as others are describing here. I'm receiving 0.91 down and 1.1 up after about 9PM every day of the week. I've checked my modem, it appears to be fine. I've power cycled it, let it drop connection and re-establish, made sure I've got a Docsis 3.0, etc. I've even pulled up WireShark and traced the hop issues outside of my house. I already made the call to Verizon this morning to change to FIOS. They're gonna get back to me as soon as they know the status of my community's utility line upgrade. My income is supplemented by streaming, so as you can imagine, being unable to stream due to poor service is unacceptable. I've heard of Netflix-o-clock and that cable is shared among community, but if I pay for 15 up 15 down, I want at least 33% of what I'm paying for. I'm looking at T1 lines for $199 a month, too, but that's a large chunk of my streaming income and I'd prefer to not cut into my margin line that. A solution would be preferable. Thank you, Mr. Michael
COX in Arizona
I live in Arizona and can't seem to understand the logic of COX airing "prime time" shows on cable at 10 & 11pm? If it's advertised to be on the air at 8, 7 central and it actually comes on at 10pm in Arizona is absolutely ridiculous and there is no reason for this. The money we pay and can't watch prime time tv during a prime time hour is absolutely insane to me. Being a paying customer, why do I get a notice "during" a critical point in a show to tell me if I want to subscribe to the channel I'm watching I can call a number. What? The player was running to the end zone looking back to catch a ball and I get interrupted with this bulletin!!!!!! Really? It be nice to actually hear a "logical" explanation. I don't want this to be a *** session.
