With Eatel now offering internet services in EBR... has anyone ever switched from Cox to Eatel? Paying top dollar for cox internet but having some issues with buffering lately (kept happening during LSU games 
)

Cox fricking sucks. I pay $190 a month for TV internet that works half the time.

Dump your TV package and get something like PlayStationVue or Sling.

I have Eatel's gigabit service. No complaints. Just have to make sure the devices you're using can take advantage of the speed.

I have Eatel in Ascension.
If they have installed fiber in your neighborhood like they have in all of ascension... Pull the trigger
But it seems they are more than likely reselling Cox coax or ATT DSL to you. In that case, pass unless the price is appreciably better

we only have internet. All we do is stream which is why we pay for the top package... we haven't had any consistent issues until about 3 weeks ago. Now it seems like anytime we stream anything there is some type of buffering that occurs. When you call customer service they have you go to a website to test your download and upload speed and then brag that you are getting better numbers then what you are paying for.
Asked the customer service rep "if the numbers are so good then why do we keep having buffering issues?" To which his response we something to the effect of "I don't know but it isn't your internet"

Restart your wifi router and streaming device
If you know your way around command prompt, you can see if there are lags connecting to netflix by running trace routes from a laptop directly connected to the Cox modem
But I'd contend this is more than likely an issue with your router and its connection to your streaming device
FYI, I have a Firestick that since the recent upgrade, buffers at an unusable rate. I restart my router and FS which solves the problem.

I think Netflix still has their "Is my ISP throttling my connection tool" when you launch their app on a desktop

That is helpful! We have two smart TVs that have been having the issues but figured it was the internet since one is hard wired but the other streams wirelessly. Both are sony TVs so they get updates at the same time.
