Unstable Internet, Speed now only 400-500 Mbps tops (pay for 1200Mbps) - Need help

​Hi, I've been experiencing fairly regular (daily) Internet outages. I've also noticed lately also that my top seeds have dropped by half. I used to get 900-1000Mbps but recently I can only seem to get 400-500Mbps. As noted I'm paying for 1200. I logged into my Netgear CM1200 and noticed log errors that seem to suggest the modem is loosing it's link of some sort. Also, the log issues include Critical (3) and Notice (6). I have a laptop connected to my CM1200 and​

​This Xfinity network instability on my network occurs a lot lately, near daily where I have to reset my cable model to re-establish connectivity.​

​Nearly everything I have depends now on a stable and fast internet connection. ​

​I want to know the best course to take to get this looked at and resolved​

​After clearing the log page and resetting the modem below is the start of some new entries.​

​Can anyone explain whats happening?  (I did remove my CM MAC and put xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) for safety reasons​

​After the logs are my current modem connection config​

You need to edit out the CMTS MAC addresses as well. Their forum bot considers them to be personal information too. Your post is flagged as "Private".

Even though the signal status values looked OK at that snapshot in time, the error log entries confirm that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) / an upstream channel / return path impairment somewhere.


There are other signal stat values that can't be read by the modem. They are the "Upstream Rx Power" (Upstream Receive Power Level), the "Upstream SNR Ch." (Upstream Signal To Noise Ratio), and the "Upstream ICFR" (In Channel Frequency Response). These are as equally important in diagnosing connectivity issues as are the modem's stats.


I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) who are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) to check for any real-time degradation and / or error reports, see your node / cable plant, and modem health, and see whether or not everything is in the green zone. They can also see a history plot for the modem and poll the CMTS for those upstream receive signal stats.

You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
