re: Network speed test

To make matters worse...it seems at some point cox upped the DL speed I'm supposed to get. I should be getting 200 down. 
Plugged direct into cox box on cox site doing cox test 3 times 120, 60, 90. On wifi at the moment standing right next to it...about 5-10.

Back to back to back? That is extremely erratic. You are hardwired direct to modem, and no other devices are online?

You're probably not going to get 200 on an 8x4 modem (8 downstream channels and 4 upstream channels), even on a dedicated modem. If 200+ mbps speed packages are available in your area, it means that cox is using 12 or more downstream channels to deliver broadband. I had to buy an SB6183 when I upgraded to Cox premiere (200mbps). My 6141 couldn't provide full saturation unless it was 3 in the morning. We used to have a lot of U-verse subscribers around here a few years ago, but I'm noticing fewer of those "2WIRE" SSIDs now. I think people are getting Cox internet again because U-Verse deployment is limited in our subdivision (24mbps max).

WiFi is usually the poorest-performing feature of a gateway.
It would surprise me if your erratic speedtest results did not level out after an equipment change. At the very least, grab a new modem (easily returnable) to rule it out.
