What kind of user are you ? if you are a heavy user, they may be limiting
you.
If you only occasionally download large files and they are limiting you,
then you have a complaint.

Subject: Cox general speed issues
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.
