Re: [ALL] Cox Annual Speed Upgrade This is a very unreliable test due to powerboost poisoning the results.
Use shaperprobe if you want accurate results. |

For my Cox plan, we using Premier but no wondering I am getting 40 Mbps sustained but upload still went 4-10 Mbps. (Normally at 4 Mbps sustained).
Here's random server from SpeedTest.Net
Cox:
We have the devices in our networking which are smart tv, 2 iPads, 1 iPod Touch, 4 laptops, 1 Desktop, 1 PS3, 1 Xbox 360, 1 VideoPhone/VoIP, and Dell Server however, plus guest using our internet, I seen what they have are: 3 Laptops, 2 PS3, and 1 PC.
The Router we using is Apple Airport Extreme 5th Gen and Cable modem is Cisco DPC3010 with 8 bonding downstream and 4 bonding upstream. This is perfect setup and love these speed from Cox for all day. LOL

| well tonight is the rumored night that their will be a speed increase keeping my fingers crossed |
|
| Well you know what they say about rumors. Usually changes like these are preceded by a notice of downtime. (BTW that is "there" not "their".) |
|
| well i guess we will see what happens
and i apologize for poor understanding of the English language XD |

 The DPQ3212 has a different status page now, and when you hit log-in it now has a voice status page. |

| The RI pages have been updated to reflect the new 110Mb (with PB, probably 100Mb without) tier but I can't find their AUP. What are the caps for their new Ultimate tier speeds?

Absolutely worthless... guess its a way to get folks on business accounts. |

| reply to skeechan
The pages for my area (Glendale/Phoenix) still show 55Mb max Ultimate speed. On a side note it's kind of odd because I actually get 65Mb with powerboost. |

said by raven2510:said by skeechan:That is weird. In Cox OC they have increased the speeds of at least one of their tiers every year for as many years as I can remember and current tiers are about the same as all the other markets.
I don't even get my "PAID" for speed. They over subscribe the hell out of Omaha. They are maxed for bandwidth here for sure. I never see speedboost anymore because there is no more headroom or free bandwidth. Well duh, Centurylink here is like the D-league of providers. Though moving to east o and switching to DOCSIS 3.0 modem helped a ton. |

Use shaperprobe if you want accurate results.
Good Tip... Thx. Hadn't seen shaperprobe before. Tried it numerous times at different times of day/night. Gives very consistent results run-to-run:
Upstream: Burst size: 2939-3120 KB;
Shaping rate: 6384 Kbps.
Downstream: Burst size: 14465-14742 KB;
Shaping rate: 34458 Kbps.

so i called cox today and was asking about the new firmware for my Cisco DPQ3212 and was told cox does not do firmware updates and you have to download and install them your self and was told this by 3 different reps
i thought Cox was supposed to push new firmware to the modems automatically?
so i called one more time and spoke to one more rep who told me that Cisco pushes their updates through Cox and if you want the newest firmware you have to call Cisco
i have never had this many issues with trying to get some firmware before |

| Well it seems either tonight, or yesterday. My Cisco DPQ3212 firmware was updated to the Jun 1st 2012 firmware. Cox is the one who pushes the firmware update, if your modem hasn't got the update yet. It's possible cox hasn't pushed it in your area. Only tip I can give you, is you may be able to push, and hold the reset button on back of modem for about 45 second's. See if the modem picks up the new firmware while rebooting. As I have seen case's of a new firmware being pushed out, and a modem somehow missing the update. Then at a later time when the modem is rebooted, it picks up the new firmware update. |

| well i tried all that and still did not get the firmware update |

That's because your question wasn't on their script that they read from. |

Not sure if the policy/procedure has changed, but in the past I simply PM'ed one of the Cox reps on this forum asking for a firmware push to my modem. After sending them the hardware mac address, they updated it for me to the correct Cox-supported release.
