Cox internet speeds ?

I currently have the ultimate package (up to 300mbps) and decided to do a few different speed tests tonight and see what I'm actually pulling.
After 3 sites, I consistently pulled between 8-9mbps download and upload. I was connected via wired not wifi fwiw.
So this tells me what, exactly? Should I just bump my speeds down to the other plan which is up to 15mbps? My internet seems fine and I rarely have any problems.
I stream mostly everything I watch, also.

You should contact Cox and have them figure out the issue. Do you mean the other plan up to 150? Is your modem provided by Cox? If not, is it an ancient modem?

With cable internet the time of day can greatly impact your speeds due to sharing node bandwidth with the other connected homes. Try again on a non peak time to see if it gets better. Regardless of you results you should be complaining to Cox about this.

You sure your test didn't read MBps? That's mbps x 8. Not the same thing.

I was paying for 150 and getting 30-50. I ditched the combo modem/router and bought my own equipment. Not top of the line but quality stuff. I'm regularly hitting 150-170. Last night I hit over 200.

I pay for 50 and get about 115 on average.

first check your modem and router to see what speeds they are capable if you didn't get it from cox
often people pay for speeds but don't have the infrastructure at home to actually get it
that said if your only getting 9 down you need to call a tech out asap.
