LAN "internet" speeds under 100Mbps when they used to be near Gateway speed test levels.
I used to have blazing fast connections on my wired home devices that have gig port connections that were close to GW speeds.
However, I have noticed major slowness over this past two months.
Now when I do speed test my wired devices are getting under 100Mbps when they used to get 400-900 Mbps.
I tested connection on my home gigabit LAN using various freeware tools and my speeds are 400-900Mbps.
My GW speed tests are over 1000Mbps.
I have reset my PC settings. Swapped out the modem. Swapped switches. And no change.
Previous and new switch show the gig connection light (green s orange). So I do not think it is my old and new switches.
So far my internet searches are turning up nothing.
I have two Win 10 PCs, one Win 11, Xbox Series X and PS5 and they all get 80-97 Mbps!!!
I am at a loss. Not sure what else to check.
I search the forums and see similar reported issues, but they are from old posts or posts with no updates.
Everyone I spoke to at Comcast via chat, phone, and at the store say the company does not throttle devices.
Yet this seems quite suspect :(
My wifi devices as of now seem fine and get better speeds even on the 2.4 band.
If I find something I will update my post.

So. I unplugged all the cables and moved them around on my main switch. And the speed tests are back to where they were. Hmmm... Strange that the LAN tests I did that cross through that switch were fine. Maybe one of the ports was locked at 100Mbps even thought it was green and not orange. I hate things like this. No sense. Just try this and that until you get it working. Drives you batty where there is no apparent reason.
