Cox Cable is slower than 56 modem!!!!!

Is there anyone who has Cox in New England with slow speeds on
Cable? My speed has been cut in half with downloads! These guys are reimbursing
me for the month. Ill use dialup if theyre going to be stingy with bandwidth!
Cox has lousy services and hires people who cant speak english!

I have BellSouth ADSL and before I got it I heard a lot of bad reports about BellSouth. But luckily down here in Louisiana, I have had no troubles with the connection... except for the blazing speed!

I'm getting download speeds up to 500kBps right now with cox, but some of my friends haven't been able to get on for a week. It's still fairly new.. give them a chance to clear things up.

my speeds in RI are kicking (as in very fast). give them some time, they are in the middle of migrating to a new network.

I have AT&T. After Excite@Home went under AT&T took over for them here in Montana and the speed has been cut in half since then.
