[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3291349, member: 29706"] Interesting. I don't use Cox's email servers since if I should happen to move that email could potentially be a liability or extra expense. The email address is free when you have cox internet but I have already dealt with changing from one ISP to another and losing email access. Just a little food for thought there. If you are going to use their email you may want to grab a desktop client so you can keep an offline copy of emails you want to save though. [URL]https://www.techradar.com/news/free-email-client[/URL] is a list of some you could take a look at. Anyway I suspect some upgrades were made late Monday night and there is something that was not configured correctly or isn't working the way it is supposed to. My packetloss right now is staying around at least 8 to 10 percent and spiking to over 30 percent from what my router is showing. Below 10 percent is basically considered online but will cause minor issues with apps that have problems with losing packets like games and VPN's. 10 to 20 percent in my router just shows packetloss and you can surf but will probably have to refresh some pages and games and VPN's are probably broken and uploading files will fail most of the time. Above 20 percent is considered offline in my router and basically the only thing you can do is surf a little bit if you are lucky but it will be a major PITA.
