Cox Internet connectivity..

I'm having issues with flaky connectivity using Cox as my ISP.. Is anyone else having issue too? An example of what I am experiencing would be I connect to a web site and some parts of it will load.. but for the rest (like some images) the web page rendering will stall. -- -

I just signed up for Cox a few weeks ago, and I've seen the same thing since starting. It's been a disappointing experience at best. I'm even getting delays when trying to send mail. Michael March <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having issues with flaky connectivity using Cox as my ISP..

I noticed it work on Friday, and it's been at home too... ~25-35 percent packet loss to affected hosts. The packets seemed to to start dying (looking at a traceroute) at the host 'after' the xx-xx-xx-xx.cox.net host (it was a 74.x.x.x IP, but I don't remember exactly). -Original Message--

Quoting: "If you really want a bulletproof connection, get a dedicated T1 line (or faster)." Correct me if I am wrong, but based on my experience in another city, our T1 connection physically came from the local phone company. Is it not the same in most cities, with the exceptions of some that ha
