 | [AZ] Slow internet What's happening in tucson tonight. Internet is super slow. Especially to any site on east coast.
Tried to call Cox but they say thier phone system is down due to an emergency. And thier web page does not load at all.
I mostly see the slow downs on newsgroups. They are crawling. I use a premium server and switched to cox, but are downloading headers at 19 kbps!!
From »measurementlab.net/ The bold sections are really troublesome. Seems like Cox is shaping.

 | reply to CoxAZTech3 This is Wally0101, guess I had already registered.
Anyhow at work right now will message MAC as soon as I get home.
Speeds seemed better this morning, But newgroups have been slow for a couple weeks now.
thanks for taking the time to look into this for me. |

 | reply to Wally0101 Having major issues in Tucson tonight...connection is in and out, web pages are loading sporadically (and often without images), speed is all over the place (one speed test showed 896 as a downstream speed!) and resetting the modem and router and rebooting the computers isn't helping in the slightest.
Any clues? All calling Cox gets me right now is the automated system.... |
