upload speeds good here and usually stay steady...checked from several different sites over this am...all results about the same...had 2 days of half speed uploads on march 26 & 27...fixed itself...
not trying to hijack your thread, but let me not miss an opportunity to ask about download speeds...I keep hoping to see more consistent performance on my 15/1.5 connection but am wondering if this is just the best performance available in my neighborhood...Do you get more consistent download speeds in your area? |

| Just checked again:
Download speeds are decent but my upload are now almost half of what I was getting before.
Not bad but I just wish Cox would provide consistent speeds they advertise and what I'm supposed to be paying for. |

Lafayette, LA | Pardon my stupidity but where/how do I find my modem's HFC MAC address? I checked it and there are no less than 5 numbers on it. |

Newport News, VA | Their should be a sticker on the side/back/bottom of the modem that has a list of MAC addresses. One of them will be called HFC or Cable MAC address. |

Baton Rouge, LA | Dont see any issues with levels. You're right on the money as far as levels. Got an Engineer working with me on it.
What speedtest server are you running these to and are you getting the same results to different ones ?
Thanks |

Theres limited bandwidth on upstream/node. when everyones competing for upload, it takes fewer people uploading to impact others at higher upload rates.

You're testing on servers 300-750 miles away.. why not test locally??? You are introducing too many possible points for lag to rely on those results. |

New Orleans, LA | Typically the Dallas server is a good one to test from. Really there aren't many good test servers within 450 miles of here. |

There are no closer servers than Dallas/etc for us folk in Louisiana. The Dallas servers give me great results from dfw.speakeasy.net. I tried their Atlanta, Georgia server, which usually is crappy for me but got decent results from it (I normally get 20-25 down!)
Last Result:
Download Speed: 10479 kbps (1309.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
