Damn You Cox!
Saturday, July 28th, 2007 | Rants
My internet connection is moving like SHIT today/yesterday. Partly because my roommate is back and doesn’t understand that it’s better to download one or two files with less connections than it is to grab 8, but mostly because Cox High Speed has been blowing goats recently.
Yesterday I did a speed test and got “97% lower than all other Cox customers” then I yelled at my roommate and he cut down his downloads to 5, which gave me better latency but still 84% lower than all other cox customers. I checked his pc and he was only averaging 60k which shouldn’t mean shit on a 7meg connection when I can frequently download at 1meg a second from popular sites.
The connection keep dropping every 5-10 mins where my router will still be connected but I will have no internet traffic for about 60 seconds. This makes sitting in front of a PC working on a website a huge hairy pain in my ass. I mean not that horrible nasty burning pain, but still frustrating.
I would call and make a guy come out to test our frequency but I can’t rationalize it because 1) i don’t pay for it. 2) I am moving next week and will be buying their 15meg premium connection. If that blows goats at the new place there will be hell to pay!
I want to take a break from the PC and watch Die Hard 4 but a slight miscalculation on my part ruined 3 hours of time and caused it to not be an option.
I suppose I can go running

Oh, Bad Karma, you should get Cox soon! What would life be without the internet? Less frustrating.
hmm… It’s not that you don’t make a valid point, but no internet is still worse than shotty internet. I am also fairly certain it is just here that the problem occurs.
Yeah my Cox has been screwed up lately as well. Seems all good then nothing. Unplug it, works for 5 minutes then sucks again.

We switched from Cox to cable america because it was shit and wouldn’t stay connected. Then Cox bought them out. Sad, sad day… It’s been pretty good until just recently. Having the same kinda problem.
