Re: [AZ] Cox Announces New Speed Tier--Premier Plus at up to 28M
I had them come back and do a reinstall of the DOCSIS3 modem. I haven't been able to get more than 16 or 17Mbps real speed.
I'm a sysadmin so I do personal speed testing from a rack @ I/O Data Centers, where we have a connection that no residential can touch.
Speedtest.net I'm only getting 19Mbps or so. I had 20Mbps w/ speedtest.net reliably with my docsis 2 modem @ $59.99/mo
There's channel bonding now. 2 channels down. Not sure it's worth paying $79.99/mo for the 20Mbps tier when I'm getting speeds much closer to the $59.99/mo tier. |

said by NHTracker  :Am I reading that wrong or does it say the cap on your upstream is 10.24mb? Probably just an anomaly of the cisco modem. older versions list downstream/upstream at 300kbps.

If you live in the phx area channel bonding wont be avalible for some time when it does open up you should see around 300-500 mbs. If you have a docsis 3 and you are having problems with it, its most likely trying to channel bond and causing the tap or node to have problems because you are sucking the signal away from everyone else. But thats just what ive seen since it came out and ive been installing them
channel bounding is available in some parts of the valley |

I am so frustrated with Cox. I have a Slingbox Pro-HD that I use to sling my tv (what little I watch) from PHX to Austin (where I am living temporarily for the next few months), and for god sakes all I want is a 5mb upload so I can get a decent picture in semi-hd! I would be thrilled, just thrilled to have a 15/5 connection. Hell, I would even upgrade to D3 if they would just offer a baseline 5mb upload!!! |

right...
considering that the channel bonding supports a maximum of four channels at a max of 38mbps/channel, i can *totally* see how that math works.
even with the 8-channel bonding on totally unused channels, you'd be lucky to get much over 300mbps.

Hey billj,
Please post your modem's signals page — you can get there from here:
»192.168.100.1/cmSignal.htm
You're not giving any personal data away and we can see if your modem is channel-bonding.
Thanks and Regards |

channel bounding is to take place automaticly in areas where the node is set up for channel bounding |

Kansei, I noticed that your downstream channel status is not bonded because you get just only one channel downstream at all, maybe the tech haven't configured the bonded channels for you on your premier plus tier. if you want DOCSIS 3 modem back then you must tell the tech at ISP to configure for the bonded channels like two channels, three channels and four channels configuration setting.

said by kansei :Is 28Mbps/5Mbps possible on Cox's network without channel bonding? If so, then I could care less about the bonding. It was maxing out at roughly the same speeds I got with the old modem and the lower Premier tier, which made me think the channel bonding is what I was missing. The tech even said he installed Premier Plus for someone a couple buildings down from me (i.e. inside the same tiny gated condo/townhouse community) and the speeds were good there. As a plus, I know all my cabling is in impeccable shape. kansei,
From the people at Cox that I have talked with yes, you can hit those speeds without channel bonding. The thing you want to look for is getting a downstream lock somewhere around 850Mhz. In order for you to get that, they do have to upgrade some stuff in your area. Even then, they may run into problems.
I ordered my Premier Plus service and had the Pro Install in June and STILL don't have the speeds. I have been in touch with my Area Manager and one of the local engineers that are doing the work locally and they have been most candid with what is going on in my area.
I gets frustrating trying to get to someone that can actually get you the information about what's really going on but, once you do it's nice.
Also, make sure that you get a credit on your bill until they get you all setup. |

I agree—the thing has become pretty unfocused; although there's a lot of good G2 in it, a new user would have to be psychic to find it. The headline is pretty stale as well.

said by CoxTOC1 :Check again  stevieg2123, if you are still seeing issues you might want to call in. I noticed that your modem is doing quite a few power adjustments and your Tx is a bit higher than I like to see it. Ran a new line to the box and removed the 2-way splitter (Rx was ~7 so we tried to tone it down) and I'm at 4dBmV Rx 47dBmV Tx w/ 37dB SNR on the Rx. Much better
Also, I can see logs now - this is fantastic! Thanks for your help |

Hello and you da man!!! Thanks a bunch and back at you
Now since you're in such a fine mood, this is beginning to concern me:
Power Level 51 dBmV . This June, when I installed the little toaster, until mid-August it held a rock-solid 47 dBmV but then started creeping up to the above 51. I have no splits and in May when my SB5120 flapped off to modem heaven, the excellent tech on the call re-did every inline splice from the dropbox to the modem. Word is I'm on a bloated node and it's been above average temp from July on—which means it's been hotter than Hell instead of the usual hot as Hell. I've had a few brief outs lately, but no pattern to them. So do I have a problem or is it just I am a problem?
Regards and thanks again |
