Gilbert, AZ | [AZ]: UL limited to .420 Mbs For the last several weeks i have been running JDs( Jack Dinns) auto speed tester every 10 minutes it checks the upload and download speeds/ping ms/jitter ms/ Packet loss.
Running an sb5120 that is about 7 years old.
Consistently, DL speed has been 23-27 Mbs sec...not bad
but UL has never been above.420 Mbs
Figured it might be the modem, went and got a new Cisco Docsis 3( for get the model) recommended by the Cox solutions store.
He said i should be getting between 4and 6 Mbs UL and the modem should fix it.
DL went up, was getting 30+ Mbs consistently, but UL remained virtually the same...it never went about .400Mbs.
Any ideas why this is happening?
in the mean time:
I got a free 30 day try out period for Century link Fiber( that they just installed to within about 400 feet of my home) coming Wednesday. setting up internet and TV to test out for a bit( keeping everything else in tact until i make a decision) |

Sounds like qos is turned on with the router. Might try checking that |

Century link isn't fiber. It's VDSL2. Your speeds still depend on the distance between your house on their node. I would suggest removing your router from the mix and test the speed again. If you replaced a 7 year old modem I can only assume your router is just as old. |

Nick is correct. Why the hell they ever decided to dupe people with this is beyond me. Once you get your issues resolved you'll pay less with Cox over the long run IIRC - 40Mbps max speed with CLink is like $90+ per month - again, IIRC...haven't checked their prices in a long time (I don't count 6 month "promotional" prices). 50+ Mbps for $67.00/mnth with Cox = better deal. Like I said, just need to fix your issues...
And what they mean is your probably 400ft from the Neighborhood terminal. Still it's distance limited up to 15K feet I think. It's been years since I dealt with DSL.

I bypassed the router, over the course of the last couple days, i haven't seen increase in either UL or DL, so it doesn't seem to be the router. |

Thats what i do when i have issues.

Gilbert, AZ | i may call billing, does a COX tech read these forums? Do they offer assistance at all? |
|
| Yes, lots of Cox technicians read these forums. But you're not throwing up any information that can be used for troubleshooting.
As was already mentioned, post up your modem levels and read that "sticky" here:
»[ALL] what to post before complaining about slow speeds...? |
|
| reply to BND
can you post your signal levels? should be at »192.168.100.1 for the SB5120.
I would also consider buying a Docsis 3 modem, the cisco dpc3010 can be found on ebay for about $30 - $70. |

It does not hurt in calling the Billing Office up and get a credit for Services not rendered to you and getting billed for them services, I posted my issues and ongoing issues in this forum area and got a credit for these issues relating to cox.
You can post your signal levels and tracert pings etc but still call them up.

I had that Cisco router installed, it didnt change anything as far as UL, i took it back just because i was going to test the Century link stuff...whcih ive also got running..im getting about 20Mbs DL and .8Mbs UL.
I can toggle between the two just by changing a plug.
( on COX now to get router signals) |
