Buccaneer Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 If you have COX, what speeds are you running? I was at 50 down and it was Ok, but now I have 300 down and its awesome. Online gaming is badass now. BTW, it's $10 cheaper with the upgrade, go figure. When fiber gets here in the east valley, it will kick ass.My fps in games is now 120-125, I have a GTX980 and ping hovers around 20-25. That is all.

ChadC Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 call them if this is a new install. that is far too low for Cox Gigblast service. there are several Choke points when surfing the internet, wireless being one if them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakotaz Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Chad are referring to me? I noticed yours is three times as fast as what I am and I am on the gigblast. The test was done on my desktop. thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test was done on my desktop. thx.yes. the gigblast should be 1000/1000 up down. the common choke points-are you hardwired or wi fi? wifi only transmits at 150, 350, 1300 Mbps. but that's in a lab only. suggest you hard-wire.-if this is a new install, call Cox to make sure you don't have any restrictions on your node.I had an issue at first my speed was 50/10 until I removed my telephone from the account. then the system power cycled and I got 950/950 (good enough)-the last choke point is your firewall/router. if you use the cox included device you should be at least in the 800/800 range. if not you will have to buy a premium device that is geared to 13 year old gamer children.

The test was done on my desktop. thx.yes. the gigblast should be 1000/1000 up down. the common choke points-are you hardwired or wi fi? Fiber box uses a cat 5 cable to a net gear router they supplied then a cat 5 cable goes to the desktop. wifi only transmits at 150, 350, 1300 Mbps. but that's in a lab only. suggest you hard-wire.-if this is a new install, call Cox to make sure you don't have any restrictions on your node. New install but what is a node? I had an issue at first my speed was 50/10 until I removed my telephone from the account. then the system power cycled and I got 950/950 (good enough)-the last choke point is your firewall/router. if you use the cox included device you should be at least in the 800/800 range. if not you will have to buy a premium device that is geared to 13 year old gamer children. Yes Cox router. could it be my desktop just doesn't have the speed capability? If so what do I check on it? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadC Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 your network connections of your computer for your desktop speed capability. most computers made in the past 5 years use a 1Gb card, also called a 10/100/1000 network card. it sounds like you should be faster than 100/100 Mb.do you have a 13 year old child/cousin/nephew that you could enlist to assist?

Dakotaz Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks Chad, I'll have my son look at it or get in touch with Cox. I'm just happy that you posted your speed. I thought I was doing pretty good until I saw yours. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azmotorhead Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Not on Cox's fastest service anymore due to cost.I dont game anymore, wish I had time too though[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have Cox Fiber and I'm getting 96.27 Download and 95.56 Upload. That was early in the morning with only me on the internet. I was gonna say if you are only getting 96 down with fiber, you have a serious issue. You should be getting what Chad is getting or there a bouts. They DO NOT have Gigablast in Gilbert yet, but I am waiting. The best I've seen is 330 down, but for some reason going through my Hp 48 port GB switch, it knocks it down to 100 down. If I go directly from modem Arris SB6183 to router, it's 300+ down hardwired and 260 down WiFi. Haven't figured that one out yet. Since its a little older switch 09 model, I'm going to try a x-over cable and see if that helps vs. auto negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My speeds slowed down so I unplugged the power to my modem and plugged it back in. Then I went outside into the natural lighting and the fresh air. It does a body good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it in industrial and come commercial. the x-over has no relevant on the set negotiated link speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakotaz Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Checked the hardware and yes I only have a 10/100. Going to go buy a 10/100/1000 next week after all the people are done doing the holiday shopping. Thanks Chad and Buccaneer. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
