Cox has this great habit of doing that like overnight and poof one day...yer surfin faster.  When I was a Cox customer ages ago...they did it to me twice....aside from a pesky issue with a signal problem (that they did finally solve)...I honestly had nary a complaint one about them in OK.

I agree with Shug and ISP, I love Cox had some problems but they are always right out to fix it. Just wished they would have went with the 15 and 2 package here.   Very Happy

Hello all you Wednesday folk. I posted elsewhere, somewhat off-topic, that I just ordered the Cox 12/1. It's been about 3 days and 6 phone calls since. Now I'm getting about 5.5MB down and the *new* 1MB up. Problem=I already had 5.5MB down...nearly everywhere I tested..or close enough.

Dear Cox didn't hesitate to bill me a mysterious amount 'extra' $14.00  the instant I ordered the upgrade online, and my regular monthly will be a shocking $63.90/month from here on out. Which I'm not thrilled about, naturally...but it's zero benefit to me.

I got the no-longer-unusual runaround on the phone, of course.  smiley6600 Of aprox. 6 calls, I was treated as not entirely stupid by one person in the order department and one tech, but no joy. I will have to 'prove' it to Cox by having numerous truck rolls I suppose. "See? even at Cox/lv no improvement on download speeds whatsoever.".

Naturally I ran Tcp Optimizer as well as Cablenut and tweaked and fiddled proactively grin. No joy still as of this writing.
Any ideas please? I'm pretty well convinced that since the upgrade didn't even budge the download one bit, that it's at 'their end'. I 'know my beans' in some ways, but this has me stumped.

This an elderly('99), but really solid pc with 512MB Ram and it runs like a top. Please don't hate me for loving WinME. 'She's' as slick as be. smitten Sorry I'm so long-winded this morning. Time for a cuppa and what can I say but thanks for being here and thanks in advance!

 uglystupid2 I should've added that I live in Arizona, not Sierra Vista but Scottsdale and boy, the Scottsdale mirror really gives me some surprising results!!! 50MB, anyone? But that's BEFORE the upgrade, now it's 24MB...as Henry Gibson opined on 'Laugh In' (in WW2 German uniform): "Werry interesting! But schtupid!" Just joshin. I visit dlewis23-2 just for fun. But it IS interesting that after the upgrade...voila' ! Not even that joy remains shocked:

.......chances are that WinMe wont allow you to go as high as you can - winME, as everyone here knows, is one of the biggest downfalls in the operating system history LOL - and the fact that it is on an older computer might compromise the speed as well - unless it is in tip-top shape

Hey disturbed 'n' spart wink.my WinME is getting 30MB to 50MB on the Scottsdale mirror dlewis23-3...naturally that's a phenom. of proximity. I'm hopeful that Cox service will get off their duff and set THEIR end up properly. They and no one else shouldn't buy into the notion that WinME must be ditched if it's been made near perfect. I've done tweaks and some of the Cablenut stuff but it's as good as can be until Cox gets busy.
Thanks for the interest angel

Those speeds that your getting (20-50) are cached (Fake speeds).  Very Happy

 :cool2:Well, possibly due to 'cached' speeds, but the fact that dlewis-23-1 is just around the corner here in Scottsdale may play a role too grin Just deal with it and grow new buddies here. I am a die-hard WinMe fan..I'd not have even *mentioned* it but so many people like to flame it...why deprive them of their pleasure?  grin
