REALLY slow upload speeds (download seems ok)
Hi, We came back to Cox recently, and our internet connection has been up-and-down for the last week, but this weekend, I noticed that when I do a speed test, I am getting really slow upload speeds. By "really slow", I mean less than 1 mbps. Also, it seems like when I try FTP'ing a file, it starts out better, but then slows down to a crawl until the FTP just fails. I've opened a ticket and they're suppose to send someone out tomorrow, but as I mentioned to them, it seems like this may be more like a network problem, or maybe whatever Cox is using may be throttling triaffic? I'm in Fairfax, VA. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Thanks, Jim12KViews0likes19Comments
Repeat issue, intermittent connection, slow uploads a year later.
https://forums.cox.com/forum_home/internet_forum/f/internet-forum/29869/intermittent-connection-slow-uploads Here I am just short of a year later. It's doing it again. 89107, Las Vegas. Same basic symptoms. Seems to like doing this every few months or longer, though to be fair i hadn't had it this bad in recent memory. Possibly even SINCE the last instance in the posted thread. I suppose i should just have a service call, but i also wanted to point it out and see if anyone else is having similar issues. The symptoms are nearly identical(Though without full drops in connection) with the same troubleshooting steps as in the previous thread, though i admit I haven't had any techs out recently and I was not alerted to any maintenance in the area. Again STARTING during non-peak hours but continuing into peak hours. Again primarily with intermittent upload speeds with significant packet loss for bursts than normal operations again. I suspect the node was oversold, again.837Views0likes8Comments
