Crazy Fast Cox Cable
By Internet Handholding @ 1:31 AM :: 1048 Views :: 1 Comments :: Article Rating :: Networking
 

All of a sudden, last Thursday, my Cox cable speed dropped to 0.14 mbps, both up and down. The advertised speed is 3 mbps.

My Cox cable modem was ten years old. Cox upgraded their network last week and the old modems were not supported. Cox gave me a new modem, Motorola SB5101U for free. They cost about $80 in the store. Cox will sell you one for $50 if they are at your house and have one in their truck.

Cox Cable Broadband test

Ran a few speed tests. Download speeds were 16 to 28 mbps. Upload speeds 4 to 5.5 mbps. That is fast.

If Cox made an upgrade in your neighborhood, you may be able to get much faster speeds with the new cable modem.

You can check your speed at www.Broadband.gov.
