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

I think hes referring to the Adelphia upgrade I talked about yesterday.Adelphia is planning on offering a 16/2 tier in Virginia first,where they have competition from FIOS and Cox

can you send some of your competetion to las vegas thanks..... lol nice speeds guys

Im not getting results like I really want.  I just upgraded to 9, and the fastest I got was like 8.0... but normally only getting 6.  What is what I always got before.  Upload is good .9Mbps  I dont have any results to post.. mabe something is wrong with my area.

I applied the tweaks to my computer, and nothing changed.. But then I decided to double check my router to see if the MTU was set... (it was not) so I changed it to 1500... Now I am getting 7Mbps... then I decided to just directly connect my computer the the cable modem.. and tada!  8.8Mbps. So I am just running it directly to my computer then my computer to the wireless router.  not like I would want it.. but works for me till I get a newer and better router.  Do you know of a better router that can handle 9mpbs on the WAN connection and be able to forward outside ports to different internal ones.  I have a BEFW11S4 from Linksys.  I just cant get the darn thing to do faster than 6mpbs

Wow...I cant believe you guys in Phoenix with Cox 9MB!!! Thats nuts!! I have the same package with Cox right now. The 9MB premier...I cant break 5MB!!!! What gives. Cox is not being very helpful a all. Do you have any suggestions on what I can try??? Even if I run a test in the middle of the night it doesn't go over 5MB.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

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.

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."

Hey, scatrbrain, what brand and model modem do you have?

Cox in mesa is pretty bomb too lol   20/2
