I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it as well. In the digital world, it either works or it doesn't work. That's the simple explanation without getting technical. To me, the drop is bad, and that tech was one lazy POS.

I'm just stating what the guy said, he worked for a contractor through Cox. Not for actual Cox. So was he full of shite? Probably.

But like I said, I could careless what Mbps I have as long as I don't have buffering when I stream.

the farther away from the node the slower speeds you can pull with coax technology. They call it the last mile which depending on your company could be just 50 feet of coax or a few thousand feet and a few hundred homes sharing one node.
