7h3kk1d Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I just decided to get cox cable instead of the universities wireless so i bought a Motorola SB6120 and got there preferred package here in Louisiana. I was expecting 12 Mbps down like my friends but when i speed tested it i was utterly surprised with a 60+ down speed. Upload isnt that great but wow for that download.

Charles Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Wow. Does it actually hit those speeds in practice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7h3kk1d Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Wow. Does it actually hit those speeds in practice? I'm not quite sure how to check. I mean if I download a file off the net it doesnt move that quick but that might not be my lines fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h3%5kr3w Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I know why, because you'r on cox, and your testing TO cox. Your never getting off the copper. Hell your probably not even hopping through a router. I get 6mbps to the same server and I am just across the river. Why am I getting this as opposed to you? Cause I am hopping routers, repeaters, and fiber, and i believe cox clamps the connection to your bandwidth specs at the cable outbound connections, not internals. Especially for cable because of the nature of a cable connection (shared connection to one trunk instead of isolated connections) so I am getting my bandwidth cap as soon as I hit AT&T.

bobdole369 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 64nd - if thats true - 6mbit is quite fast upload. As in OMG fast. To put things in perspective - my entire office of 20 odd people share a single 6mbit/384k line. So your uplink is 20x faster than what 20-something folks use all day at my job. 8ms ping - wow you really aren't leaving cox network. Try using the speakeasy test.

7h3kk1d Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 The speakeasy test gave me 36 down and 6 up to dallas which i think is still really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
