VERY SLOW UPLOAD SPEEDS, download is fine.
I have been dealing with extremely slow upload speeds for a very long time, at least a year. Maybe two? I have gigablast. Download is consistently fine. Always around 900 mbps and above. Upload is sporadic. Very seldom I get the 35mbps. But its very short lasting. Maybe a couple hours, then it goes back down to well under 10mbps. Most of the time it stays under 5mbps. Just ran a speed test, its at 3mbps. Anyways, numerous tech visits. Most of them didn't find anything. Changed all cables from the pole outside, all the way into my house and up to my modem. Its a straight cable from the pole to modem, no splitters. Replaced my modem. Replaced all ethernet cords. Literally replaced EVERYTHING. Still having the same issues. One of the techs said I was getting slow speeds at the pole. Scheduled out a linemen to come check the lines down my street. Linemen said that he found something and that it should be repaired. My upload came up for a few days and stayed consistent, which never happened before, but now its back down again. Dealing with these issues for so long is very, very frustrating and the fact that I pay $160 a month for gigablast and the extra 500gb data and I don't even get a fraction of the speed I am paying for just tops it off. I don't know what else to do. I've just about given up. There's nothing else to replace. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Because I do not know what else to do. I've browsed many forums and other things on the internet and this seems to be an issues for many people, but i'm hoping someone has a miracle for me. And before anyone asks: YES, i'm directly connected to the modem WIRED and its on multiple devices. Yes I have rebooted it too many times to count.37KViews0likes20CommentsUpload Speeds drop in the Evening.
Been having some issues as of late. in the evening the upload speeds drop considerably. to the point where my sons can not game online on their ps4. bought a new modem and new router thinking it would solve the issue. then we upgraded to the ultimate package at 300/30. sometime around 7pm every night the upload speeds drop and come back around 10pm or so. all other times speeds seem to be fine. what could it be? have had a tech out and he changed all ends on the cables and signal tests were good at that point. issue still hasn't been resolved. requency start Value This field below allows you to modify the frequency the cable modem start with its scan during initialization and registration.

Motorola Arris SBG6782 DOCSIS 3.0 Router Issues and sporadic disconnects of WIFI devices
I am starting this post in hopes that other Cox Customers will see it and also respond with their personal troubles with the SBG6782 DOCSIS router. I have seen numerous posts regarding connectivity problems with Cox personnel providing the same reply that the issue has to be the modem. I personally offered Cox to come to my home and set up a device to monitor the signal in two places 1) Directly before the NIU and 2) Directly before the Cable Modem in order to see where the troubles lie so we can proactively fix the problem I am having at my home. That offer was never taken up and all I was told is that they can send a technician to my home and "test" the signal. Since 2007, I have had Cox in my home several times and each time something has been swapped out. I now have Cox supplied coax from the wall jacks to every device in my home. I have a new Cox supplied splitter in my attic. All cables going into my splitter now have new heads. I even have a new, Cox provided, Amplifier in my home. Everything in the house has been replaced by Cox yet the problems are still here. I even have issues with my cable boxes freezing up and not responding and yes...those have been replaced as well. About a year or so ago, the internet got SO bad that I tossed my old Surfboard router and purchased a new Motorola SBG6782 router from Best Buy. When I hooked it up, it was AWESOME. Fastest speeds I have ever witnessed. Unfortunately, that lasted for about 3 days and then the trouble began. Webpages hanging, or not even loading. Wi-Fi devices crippled by painfully slow internet or no internet at all. Even the laptop I use that plugs DIRECTLY INTO THE MODEM ITSELF experiences the same exact symptoms. The biggest problem I am having is that our internet will literally STOP working for a few minutes, several times a day generally requiring a reboot of the router to fix. I have on several occasions, had to reboot my router several times a day or, just wait patiently for the signal to come back and continue my internet experience. I don't even try and work from home as connecting to work is useless as we use Citrix and my connection gets dropped at least 3 times while I try and work. I have supplied multiple logs from my router and am given a very informative answer however, that answer doesn't fix the problem that is obviously internal to Cox. ChrisL on the Cox Forum has been a huge help and I thank you for every answer you have provided and every attempt you have made to help but I am asking for this to be escalated to a chronic team as there are way too many people on these forums having the same exact issues that I am having so we all cant just have "faulty" modems. I am providing again the error messages I see in my modem logs: Tue Feb 03 19:14:24 2015 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Tue Feb 03 18:45:21 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Mon Feb 02 20:08:37 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Mon Feb 02 03:30:45 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sat Jan 31 11:57:32 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sat Jan 31 11:30:16 2015 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sat Jan 31 10:55:08 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sat Jan 31 08:04:58 2015 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Fri Jan 30 16:37:33 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Fri Jan 30 04:23:17 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Thu Jan 29 01:41:04 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Wed Jan 28 14:19:24 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Tue Jan 27 15:14:17 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sun Jan 25 15:10:21 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=b8:16:19:e8:19:f7;CMTS-MAC=d0:72:dc:32:e3:64;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Fri Jan 23 04:57:46 2015 Critical (3) Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Wed Jan 21 11:11:31 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Mon Jan 19 12:40:50 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sun Jan 18 20:25:34 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Fri Jan 16 02:46:56 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Thu Jan 15 04:33:54 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=4;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Tue Jan 13 18:27:12 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; Sun Jan 11 17:19:02 2015 Critical (3) Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; As you can see from this log, this is happening almost EVERY DAY, sometimes MULTIPLE TIMES a day and this is just a portion of my log. I have this same event logged almost daily since November 13, 2014 (I am sure it has been overwritten as I have had the modem about a year now. Someone from Cox, please look at this post and understand my pain of paying for a service I cannot use like I want to. I have children who cannot do homework because the internet doesn't work so we have to use our limited 4G LTE cell phones to look up things for homework and research. Hopefully something will come out of this post but I doubt it. The best I will get is having a tech come out which will waste his time and mine because since I rebooted my router about an hour ago, Internet has been flawless.10KViews0likes14CommentsSlow internet connection while paying for 50 mbps
Hi, I have recently upgraded my internet connection to the 50mbps package and I noticed a significant increase in speed for a few hours on the first day it updated. It now seems to be very inconsistent and I am getting as low as 3 mbps downloads up to around 18. The uploads seem to be just fine as I've gotten around 18mbps. The past few days have been a real disappointment. Please help.9KViews0likes14CommentsUnstable connection
Ok, I know I have the slowest internet cox offers, but why do I ALWAYS have a lousy connection. Even when I am JUST using my phone and nothing else is using the internet and I can't get any closer to the router and it's the middle of the night...and I have the worst connection. I never not have problems with your internet which is why I downgraded since all the internet speeds seem to be super slow. I know I'm not the only one with this problem because I read the forums. What can I do besides switch providers? Thanks?7.9KViews0likes9Comments
DPC3010 Firmware Update?
Hello, I've been working with Cox tech support reps over the phone and online chat without a much resolution. I actually work in IT and setup networking equipment for a living so I'll try and provide you with the best information I can. I'm a new customer myself with a self purchased DPC3010 running some pretty old Firmware and I believe it's causing me to have upload speed issues. Can I update this firmware myself or do I have to wait for a push? I've tested this connection with an OLD SB5101U DOCSIS2.0 modem and the upload speeds were fine. Please let me know if you need any additional info from me and thanks for any and all assistance with this problem. I've been told my signals don't look very good on the Cox side either but my download speeds are great and very consistent. My Upload speeds are the problem usually around .4mbps or 400kbps with best being around 3mbps.7KViews0likes14Comments
Now....Bad wi fi connection
Hi, within the last 3 months or so, My laptop and iphone have been not receiving a good solid signal. I lose internet on both and it's increasingly frustrating as the problem is getting worse. Our router has always been sufficient. What's going on and why am I having these problems now? What is different or changed on your end? Thanks.Solved7KViews0likes13Comments
Low Download Speed
We have found that we are getting much slower speeds than our package should be providing. We should be getting 100 Mbps but are actually getting 10 - 30 Mbps. I have attempted to resolve Tuesday and Thursday with online tech support. There was improvement after tech support reset the line on Tuesday but that only got us up to 30 Mbps. Today (Thursday) tech support told me that they are seeing 100 Mbps at our modem but when I ran speed tests using Cox's and Ookla's speed tests I was getting 10 Mbps. At that point tech support stopped communicating in the chat so now we're stuck with no suggestions. We have a Netgear CG3000D. Is that cable modem not capable of sending out even 100 Mbps? If so I'd appreciate a suggestion or at least an opportunity to make an appointment to get someone here to figure it out.6.7KViews0likes18Comments
Extremely Slow Internet Speeds.
So, for about two months now I have been experiencing extremely slow internet speeds. I am a Cox Premier Plus Member and supposed to get 75mbps Download over 15mbps upload. My speeds for have never seen those speeds since purchasing the Service. I own a docsis 3 modem as-well as a cisco router that are supposed to handle up to 300+300. I've called Cox multiple times to come to a resolution to this ,but my requests have gone ignored for two months. Although I've had 3 technicians 3 supervisors and 2 maintenance associates at my home they have all unmistakably said that the gear at my home is good. No issues with my "drop" nor equipment. I have had multiple phone technicians escalate this issue ,but no one seems to want to resolve this. Why? My question would most likely be, "When would you like for me to cancel my service?" Even though I've been with Cox for over twelve years it seems like the Money I as a customer have put into their pockets is a drop in the hat ,and thats most likely the reason no one wants to help. Is anyone else experiencing this lack of customer service?6.5KViews0likes10Comments
