i have att worldnet for my internet and it has worked fairly well up till today, when i got cox as my new phone service. cox is a companie in newengland, not sure how far it stretches. they are a cable company, but also have cable internet and phone service. ive switched my local and longdistance before and havent had a problem. but now i can bairly even connect to the internet. i have to start yahoo messenger to have something that will "force" my connection open. im getting the same slow spead at connect which is 34.6k i have a 56k modem. normal speads where about 40-44k. im not sure whats going on. at first connect, if it connects-been gettin alot of errors on that too- i have upload speed but no download. the only thing i can do is hit connect and wait for it to be connected. get the 34.6k connection. open yahoo messenger. connect. wait about 5-10 minutes, no lie. and then if it connects, it seems to break through a clog in the wire like internet drano or something, and i can open my web browser and it will finaly connect to my home page. also when i check my "status" for my connection there is a spot where it says -errors- and there is a 1 next to it, which i never had. i can only look at the log when im disconnected so i havent checked it out for fear that i wont be able to get back on. im going to contact cox and see if it has something to do with then, but i figured i ask my trusty techies first, figuring,as always, you'll know more than the people that work at the places i have to talk to. TIA
