Cox and I, have a very long history, none of it good.

Let's just say the Attorney General was involved, the case dragged on for months, but I prevailed. (fraudulent practices)

Most recently I had a technician to my home, because I was seeing speeds less then 1 meg on download. All he did was say "oh that's your problem! those splitters are no good!" Changed the splitters and left. Okay waited 90 minutes, called them again, COX was getting 30% packet loss! Why the idiot didn't have them do this in the first place, I don't know. Changing splitters is rediculous. They called the guy back, they did something at their end, and I'm doing better today. I can download 6 meg, as advertised. (a little better then t2).

The people I encounter with cox either don't care, won't care. The firmware update seems to have things settled down. I let it run overnight, and while I got some transfer interrupted, it was far less then the usual 100%. I am currently uploading to 5 folks -- seems a bit more solid -- will let this shake out and let you know.
