[AR] Terrible speeds in Fort Smith

I am experiencing very slow download speeds on Cox. At three different locations: my home, my office and coworker's house.
Download speeds are under 1Mbps and upload speeds are around 6Mpbs.

This is using Speedtest.net and the Bixby, OK server.
I got similar results with the BBR speed test.
Anyone else?

I'm in Rogers (NW AR) but have been noticing sluggish speeds this afternoon. Speedtests are showing about 5 Mb/s on Preferred (normal is 12-18 for me), but no decrease on the upload side.

Was planning to see if it resolved over the next 12-24 hrs, but saw this post. So far, powercycling MTA, router, and PC haven't provided any resolution

Springdale, AR here. Noticed the issues around 6pm this afternoon. On a 28Mbit line.

Speeds right now...
Down - 1.1mbps
Up - 6.2mbps

Normal results with speedboost are like 40-45 down and 6 up.

Talking to a technician and they couldn't figure anything out. Went ahead and scheduled with a technician before I found out this isn't just a problem with my connection. Also have a friend in Bentonville experiencing exact same issues. Hopefully it will be fixed by morning.

Yep, in Springdale seeing a huge decrease from my normal 20 down. Upload is normal though. I hope it gets fixed soon. I'd like to get back to my HD Netflix streaming.

I called Cox last night and they said I was in a area that was experiencing problems. He said they should be fixed soon.
Sometime later the speed jumped up to normal and it's still good this morning.
