Slow internet, DNS issue, not pref. speed
Upgraded last month to preferred internet, brand new Cisci DPC3825 mode/wi-fi. It worked fine for about 3 weeks. However, for the past week, I've been seeing constant DNS issues (resolving host message), and slow speeds, yet when I run speed test using the Cox support page, the speed is fine (for non-preferred, coming in at 25-29 Mb/s). Same goes for speedtest.net. So, 2 issues - 1, the DNS issue, I removed the usual DNS servers, and went with 68.105.28.13 and 29.13, as suggested in another forum post. This does not appear to have resolved the issue, still "resolving host", even for common web sites. Second issue, slow response. This could be related to having problems resolving the address, but until I resolved the DNS issue, I won't be sure. When I went to my cox account, it said my internet device was DCI382P. Not sure if that lines up with my modem, which is a Cisco DPC3825. Any suggestions? TIA.13KViews0likes9CommentsArris SB8200 Firmware Update / Download Speed Issue
Hello - I activated a new SB8200 today with Cox. In reviewing the firmware, it appears that the modem does not have the latest firmware update applied. That said, I also understand that Cox controls which firmware is actually applied to the device once it is on their network. So, I'm looking for the answer to a couple of quesitons: What the the latest approved firmware version for the Arris SB8200 modem on Cox's network? Mine is runningAB01.01.009.27_081619_183.0A.NSH If a more recent firmware has been approved, how long does my modem have to be online before it will pick up the latest firmware and apply it? I bought this new modem (along with a brand new TP-Link AX6000 router) in an attempt to improve my download speed. However, I'm finding that the speed is not improved any from the previous setup (which was the Cox-provided Panoramic WiFi modem). I am a Gigablast customer and this modem is listed as "Gigablast compatible". I'm getting around 200-300Mbps down on average. In reviewing the modem's event log, I also notice several "SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync" messages. Not sure if that's relevant or not to this issue.

why does my internet speed vary from less than 1 mbps to as high as 20 mbps and never gets to 50 I was told this was because of my modem - I purchased a new DOCSIS 3.0 modem approved for cox I have talked to tech support multiple times in the last few days and I don't really have the patients to keep listening to the same script over and over - reset the modem, I get it - so well that I put a switch on it to make it easier. does anyone have experience with a Netgear CM500?7.9KViews0likes22CommentsService Appointment Charge of $60
Hi, I recently moved to San Diego, and without much of a choice, installed Cox in our apartment. The signal was terrible, dying every couple hours, and many times turning the modem on and off didn't change anything. I decided to hire the next level of Internet speed, hoping to be considered a consumer 'a little higher' in the food chain, and guess what? It didn't change. I called COX to ask them to fix it, after all, I hired a working internet service. They said someone was coming, and indeed, a technician came, said the signal was low, and put up a device to improve the dB (not a neat job, I had to rearrange the cables properly). A few days went by, and the problems continued. I started to learn to live with the fact that I needed to reset the modem and router every couple hours, which is certainly not what I have experience in both Denver and Chicago with Comcast. Parallel to that, I signed a VPN service, that helped the connection incredibly, but I can't explain why. I just received the Dec 10 billhere (Due Dec 30)and realized we got charged for $60 for the Service Appointment. My question is: FOR WHAT REASON? It is certainly shameful for a company to charge an extra that is almost a couple months of service for basically trying to fix the exact service it is not delivering. (Besides that, we have been having problems about the automatic payment, but will try to set it up one more time.) I would certainly like for this service fee to be cancelled before the Due date. Thank you. - Arthur7.4KViews0likes3CommentsPeriods of high latency & extremely slow speeds
Problem seems to have started popping up last tThursday, but since then my house seems to have periods of time where the network speed slows the a crawl andI'm barely able to use the network (and definitely unable to run any multiplayer games).

Three months ago i started to get really bad internet connection so of course we went through all the possibilities one by one. We have had over 4 tech guys come out and look it over and they still did not fix the problem giving different reasons. Finally the last tech guy owned up and said yes we have a problem in your apartment block but! this is after we had revamped the whole set-up to the tune of $200 thinking we had a problem in the home. Lets try again! new everything we finally get a supervisor and things are looking up! so we thought! he gave me the number of the top tech guy...'This should be the last guy you have to deal with' he promises me! Next thin (Not even 2 hours later) two trucks arrive and they look like they may be doing something until it rains and then they look at each other and leave never to return. My internet has been tweaked to run slightly better but still i have the same problems! 3 months later $200 spent on the top equipment several days in to wait for these guys i still get my internet dropping all of a sudden and the speeds are nowhere near what i should have!!!!! and by the looks of all the new forums popping up yes its a bigger problem. Now i am going to give a final push! will update on that but do not hold your breath.5.3KViews0likes14Comments
