Kinda slow. Also, I find it kind of odd that this company http://www.ookla.com/about.php is located in Montana and not Oklahoma :) Title: Is Cox HS Internet Running Slow.? Post by: AngieB on October 17, 2007, 03:50:04 pm A lot better from home...

It's on par w/ the DSL at work, but not what I'm used to when I had cable at my own business. Title: Is Cox HS Internet Running Slow.? Post by: YoungTulsan on October 18, 2007, 09:32:15 pm These speed tests arent neccesarily indicative of Cox's performance. If you try repeatedly on different servers and still cant seem to top 2000-3000kbps you may be having some issues with Cox.
These speed tests vary greatly on the server and what backbone paths it takes to get to them. The server in Stillwater is closest "as the crow flies", but not "as the light traverses the fibers". For Cox in Tulsa to get to that Stillwater server, Cox goes to Level3, which goes to Dallas, Switches over to Sprint in Fort Worth, then comes back to the Chickasaw server in Oklahoma. Perhaps the lower numbers would indicate Sprint's fiber network isnt performing as well as Level3's. I just busted this on a Kansas City server, much faster than I got on that Stillwater server. (http://www.speedtest.net/result/194049544.png) Of course, to the average internet user, they don't know or care which websites and servers bounce through what networks, they just see the download speeds. All I am saying is that Cox can provide an eleventy billion meg per second connection to you, but you will still be limited to the speeds that the sites you are communicating at can serve you at. I think the faster the speed your internet provider offers, the more pronounced this issue becomes of not always being able to get your "advertised" speed on some sites. Title: Is Cox HS Internet Running Slow.? Post by: guido911 on October 20, 2007, 11:46:53 am I am having a heck of a time with loading the cox.net homepage. It sometimes takes 10-15 minute to load up. And yes, I have now changed my homepage and am assessing the result.

Stillwter site Test I feel your pain. However, I stopped at a friends shop last week to use his PC to print a file off the internet. Took 14 minutes to load the web site, 22 minutes to download a text file. And YouTube appeared after 10 minutes and looked like turning pages in a magazine. LOL How did we live with that for so many years at speeds slower than the 56K Modems. Believe my first modem was a 9600 Baud, then a 28.8K, the .8 really made a big difference then. LOL At the time that seemed to be the ultimate, expecially when we had four external ones with four individual phone lines gathering applications from job seekers 24/7. I ran that on a a 450DX Chip Mother Board, running Remote Access BBS software. At the time no one would ever need any more power.
