COX - High latency and lag spikes are back

I’ve been having intermittent issues with them for years.

Basically, it would randomly DC me before this outage.

Not to sound crappy but have you contacted Cox so they can have a look at your Modem Levels. Probably have a SNR Issue on your modem that needs to be corrected on the Main line or Drop into the house or building.

Gm was on phone for a bout a hour or so, He was nice told me to check after Tuesday for possible fix. We ran all the test even re-installed game. it came down to the end, when he asked me what provider I used after pathping was sent . I told him cox he told me a lot of people having same issue with that provider and some are not.

There plant is mostly HFC Coax for Residential customers and it has its own quirks with Squirrel chew, storms, and other variables but can be fixed if they are made aware. They have some new stuff coming down that pipe within a year you shouldn’t ever have these problems again. Outside of this routing issue thats not related to your plant.

I think my favourite part about this whole situation is that just to even mount it takes me 10 seconds sometimes.

Alrighty best wishes going for lore master… farewell! for the alliance!

Same exact situation here. Perfectly fine and when I pull anything the MS goes through the roof

Las Vegas here Cox also, yes healing is impossible I think I may try a VPN, but have been holding out to see if they fix it, but if it’s not fixed by the end of this weekend then I’m going to have to use a VPN.

hey blizzard any updates today on fixing this problem?

May have to resort to that, thank you. After this has been cleared, of course.

Having issues like this in Oklahoma City as well while using Cox ISP. Been going on since Thursday. I would do anything but raid and world ms/latency would be just fine in the 30-59 ms area, but when I raid, doesn’t matter if it’s LFR or Mythic, at some point during a fight that world ms/latency would skyrocket to ~3000 ms. It’s so frustrating that I’ve stopped playing the rest of the day when it happens.

Is there anything we can do in terms of calling COX regarding the issue? I wouldn’t know where to start honestly

Cox Las Vegas, NV.

Same MS issues as being reported in this thread. Results from looking glass (apologies for the extra spaces everywhere–got the message about posting links):

Unfortunately no, the issue is proving to be after Cox hand off this one is on Blizzard.

Anyone using Cox in Las Vegas - I’m using Protonvpn. 7 day trial using US-IL #6 for my connection. 48ms home/world. I’d recommend giving this a try…shoot I might even pay for it once my trial is up.

Is it working in raid Fuzzy?

VPN works for Raid and Dungeons.

The issue is something where Blizzard’s Edge Router with COX.

Most VPN services should be on a different ISP.

We shouldn’t have to use a vpn. Blizz should be working on this but like most stuff, “we’re working on this”

It’s been going on for 3 days now…

So can we get something out of this blizzard? This is going on day 3 and it’s really irritating that yall are having this issue with a large internet provider and now its spreading into the weekend with no ETA.
