I have a few questions about a few things that I have been unable to find out.
1. Ever since Cox upgraded to 24 channels down my pings have doubled or became sporadic. When we first got upgraded in the Roanoke Va area it was only 24/3 for some reason and my ping times jumped from 6-8ms to 14-44ms. Its been like this for about a year or more so I guess its not a huge deal. Is that normal and is there anything I can do?
When docsis3.1 goes live in my area will having a 3.1 modem be beneficial even if I don't upgrade to the highest tier? Will having a Docsis 3.1 modem make my connection more efficient? (i guess im wording it correctly)
Some Cox contractors were in the neighborhood Monday replacing a section of fiber. Not sure where its going to go but its between an amp 2 streets over and my street. I had a technician coming out that day anyways as early Sunday morning I lost connection for 15 mins or so and then my modem was throwing logs on the upsteam channels and T3's all day. Called Cox sunday night and the lady recommended a tech come out and ofcourse he didnt find anything but he did remove a few traps that were on the neighbors cables. Anyways I talked to the contractors and they were replacing part or all of the trunk line. Im assuming with fiber. They called it an "Express", I have no clue what he meant but I'm also assuming that it was an emergency replacement? I want to know more about what an express is and what/why they would be replacing fiber and will that have any affect on me?
