Well, from thursday through saturday, I had almost flawless service. However, today, as you can see, my pings are nothing to brag about. What I don't understand is why there are these occasional speedups. One day I'll start pinging 30ms to game servers at 8:30 in the evening, and then in 2 days, it'll suddenly get worse than it was before the speed-up. Why can't they just provide decent service without completely screwing it over after only a few days? Is it really that difficult? As for me, I probably wont be seeing ANY decent service for a while. This would definately be a perfect time for DSL. | |
| Your ping time is not good but still better than mine (
I have an average ping time of 300 ms) I don't think they have technology and capability to provide a reliable service. If DSL is available, go for it without a second thought. If you live especially in around Burke, forget COX. Move out or get DSL (Speakeasy or Earthlink). | |

Right now it isn't so bad (except for the 1st and 11th hops). But I should still be getting 1/3 of that ping. I also hope they do something about the speedcap when/if they finish upgrading. Not that 1500/192 is so bad, but most RR isps provide around 2500/300. In fact, I can't think of any other cable isps (except for Charter) which cap their users at 1500/192 or lower. | |
