Are you saying you're only getting 5 with a wired connection?
Yes

Roku 3's have an ethernet port
that might be what i need to get

What device are you running the speed test on? The roku
using the ATT website's speed test

Oh, so you're only paying for 5mbps? Why did you switch to Cox for the speed, then? Uverse can easily do faster than that.
well, I thought that cox was a faster line to begin with. I was paying for 12mbps with ATT and getting about 2. Now i am paying for 5mbps (plus 1 with the power boost) and getting about 3.5. so I am paying less and getting more via Cox.
I guess I need to bump up to the next level of Cox

I believe wired connections are faster

quote:If true, that's pretty shitty. Are you sure you were only getting 2Mbps and not 2MBps? Factor of 8 difference there, so if you were getting 2MBps while paying for 12mbps you were getting quite a deal.

But to answer your title question, you won't lose any speed by using wireless as long as the wireless is faster than your ISP connection. Generally wireless is fine up until you start getting into the 50mbps range. At that point, if you must go wireless, you will need to look into newer/better wireless hardware (802.11ac).

frick that. You should have raised hell and got them to fix whatever the problem was. I had issues with them for about a month and let every person that worked on it know how pissed I was. After everything was working properly I got about $15-20 a month off my bill for a year.

Definitely. Also, if you aren't getting what you're promised or at least close to it let them know early and often. We pay too much for rather shitty internet service for these dicks to be getting over on us.
