iceprizm posted : as long as it is just not me. CoxTech1 has informed me:

"I've just been advised that upgrades are planned for on or about the evening of the 13th to add downstream capacity. We'll need to check then to see if there is any improvement."

hopefully this will fix my issue.

CoxTech1 posted : I think it might be helpful to post that iceprizm 's problem is node related and efforts are under way to correct the issue. Your issue is not related to the issue he's having, your node checks out fine with regards to capacity/utilization.

Ice,

I and others are experiencing the same thing in AZ and as of now Cox wants to do a truck roll to my home and "capture" the problem IF they can. If you have not contacted CoxTech1 via IM please do.

now it seems that the tech was just BSing me as Coxtech1 sees no issue with my node.

[AZ] Overloaded node in Green Valley?

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:59:25 EDT

iceprizm posted : every day around 6pm my speeds drop to around 3Mb dl. the next morning my speeds are back to 15Mb.
I have had cox techs come out, all levels are within spec.

I was told that there is an overloaded node in my area that is causing the poor speeds.

I was also told that my issue would not be fixed for about a month.

Has anyone else heard of this overloaded node? Is cox actually doing anything about it?

I cant see paying for the premier level when i cant dl above 4Mb.
