Hi all,
I'm curious, has anyone seen speed issues with cox lately or in about
the past 6 months in general? I ask, because I have a completely
reproducible issue, where with ubuntu, doing an apt-get of any server,
on any mirror around the world, I get all downloads that start very
fast, and throttle down to nothing after a few seconds. Restarting it
goes fast, then slows like clockwork, literally to kb/s or nothing.
Same behavior occurs with FTP protocol for the apt-get's as well. P2P,
usenet, other bandwidth leeching methods work just fine, just anything
with static/single/long-term tcp flow connections seems to be affected.
I tried this from different modems on different regional nodes, and same
thing. I'm thinking im not the only one with this, and feels a lot like
buffering/queuing (problems) in their network.
A little birdy in the know told me this is could be a more rampant
issue due to updates in the cox cable network, but I'd like to have some
other consensus/input before making an issue of it. Most windows users
I've talked to seem oblivious to it, but I figure I'd ask others that
might use linux the same way. I don't use windoze enough to know.
