Re: [AZ] Goodyear neighborhood slowdown
said by physix  :Would upgrading to Docsis3 (premierPlus) help to gain and edge over my neighbors? Not really. you're not even getting preferred speeds. upgrading will do nothing but cost you more money.
Are speeds good at 3am?

1 edit | Well here is the thing, most likely your suffering from overloaded node, but could be other issues also. The thing is cox aint gunna fix whats not broken to them. So they will keep putting more and more people on the same node in your area. Then after awhile with everyone using a decent amount of bandwidth.. it causes the slowdowns during peak hours.
So the solution to this problem is them doing a node split.. But they will take there time making sure its not other problems first, because these node splits do cost some money, and they aint just gunna spend money in a area thats really not needed to them.
So what you can do for us, if possible start doing speedtest late at night, and see if your getting anything close to your advertised speeds. If so more then likely its the node being overloaded during the day(which is peak time). Anyways if you haven't already PMed one of the AZ Techs on these forums, then do so.. and see what they can find out first. |

| The official guys log ons are in the sticky post about the Cox folks here that are for real.
The Cox guys here are as helpful as they can be. A real asset to Cox and we Cox users. But they can't make the local Cox folks do anything other than what the local Cox dudes want to do. |

Looks like I got social hacked! I did send my information to CoxAZTech1 and he is not on the list.
So shouldn't the mods do something about this wrongful solicitation of information? Perhaps ban the screennames that are engineered to look like admins? I'm pretty sure support@hotmail.com was never available to the public.
What would a MAC provide anyway? Owell, If cox can't fix it maybe a cox imposter can help... We'll see after the 6th. (changes are planned on the 6th I hear) |
