Upload speed from Arris SB6190, Is ~4-6 the best I can get for upload?

I bought the SB6190 based on the claimed speed(s) on the xfinity site.

 

Claimed ~900 speed (895)

 from ...  www.xfinity.com/support/devices/#details

"

I called support and they said I should be happy with the speed I am getting from the modem.

 

The website now gives conflicting information (above link says compatible) elsewhere it states I need to upgrade my equipment. 

 

🤷🏻‍♀️My main current concern is upload speed I am getting 5-6 , I can live with the download speed seems stable around 600 but sometimes drops below 100 then goes back to fluctuating at times.

 

Can I really expect more upload from this modem?

 

 

I saw the following:

Xfinity customers with SB6190 modems please post following:

 

1) Xfinty internet service tier. I recently upgraded to 1gb

 

 

2) Connection speed test results from https://speedtest.xfinity.com/

 

Download ~685

Upload 4.8 ☹️

ip4

latency 22ms

 

 

3) Advise if SB6190 event log found at http://192.168.100.1/cgi-bin/eventlog contains the following error messages ‘TLV-11 - unrecognized OID’ and/or ‘No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out’

 

Yes

Not sure why the log has info from 1970?

Thanks for the reply.

 

~ is estimate , My question was about the upload speed for DOCIS 3.0 for my modem , but I would take the Comcast DOCIS 3.0 specifications or the provisioned target for the equipment I have.

 

Also, if the best I can do for upload is 4-6 with any modem (DOCIS 3.1 then I don't want to invest in new hardware until the cable infrastructure in my area can actually support faster upload speeds).

 

BTW, they (Comcast)  state 800+ for this model and the manufacturer states 1gb+ .

 

Kind regards,

I had this EXACT problem and I had the same thoughts... The SB6190 should be able to achieve much higher than 5-6mbps upload. I begrudgingly bought a DOCSIS 3.1 (Arris SB33) and my upload speeds did increase to their advertised 35mbps. So yes, you do need the modem that Comcast says you need.

I have the same issue with the TP-Link TC-7620.  The modem is capable of 400mbps down and over 100mbps up, but I'm only getting 5-6mbps up.  Comcast told me the same thing, that the modem is not compatible with the speeds, but I also don't understand why I can't get the proper upload speed.
