I have had Cox for about 6 years, the entire time i was getting above advertised speeds. I upgraded to the 9Mb right when it came out and again I was getting above advertised speeds up until about a month ago. Then all of the sudden at certain times of the day it slows WAY down, sometimes down to 1 or 2 Mb, no matter which computer i test with. I connected my modem outside at the box with a laptop and some RG6 (to eliminate anything in my house) and have the same problem. Even tried a 2nd laptop to be SURE. Then I rented a new modem for a day and had the same problem. Cox has been out 4 times, all at times of the day when its working fine. I even had them do a latency test during the time it was running slow but they replied and said nothing was wrong. So at this point i don't know what to do except downgrade to the 4Mb since thats closer to what i get more than half the day now. This problem has nothing to do with my computer, tweaks, bad cable, bad splitters. The problem lyes between the box on the side of my house and Cox. As I said, they have given my great service for a long time, but the last month has been frustrating and I feel as though there are no solutions to this.

16/2 service is started to be deployed in Virginia(go figure) with upgrades to most major markets by end of 3rd quater

Its Funny that they always come to VA first but they only thing i can get is Verizon Dsl 3.0Mb/768  And i Don't even have that Yet (waiting For Modem) Don't get me wrong I'm happy as hell i can finally get verizon.

Maybe wait a week or two more before you get fed up.  They could be doing something along the lines of those infamous "network upgrades."
