400 Mbps plan but getting just under 300 Mbps

Can't see your pic. Since you are a new poster, it needs to be approved by a Forum Admin. That could take some time. In the interim, you could try hosting it at one of those free third-party pic hosting sites like Imgur or Photobucket and post the link to it here.

Or copy all of the text of the status page and paste it into the body of your next post here.

Looks like the image with modems levels didn't post - here they are

For whatever reason this area has always had 5 upstream channels - signal levels below.

Connection to modem is a single cable from the street into the house installed by Xfinity a few years ago. No connectors, splitters - just one cable into the modem.

They are in spec as well. Try calling 1-800-comcast and ask a rep to completely remove the modem from your account and to "re-provision" it from scratch. Also ask them to confirm that the provisioning and account data in their database is correct and complete and that the correct configuration / bootfile for your subscribed to speed tier is being pushed to the modem. Good luck !

I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

In my experience calling the Comcast 1-800 and asking those type of questions is hard.

The first level support have their scripts which they stick  to (restart the modem etc). Getting someone who can actually tell you speed the modem is provisioned with is much harder.

I was kind of hoping the forums might suggest a better way to actually reach someone who can help.

I know the signal levels are within spec - but was posting here as thought would be the first questions people ask and wanted to get beyond that.

Oh well..

Hi, vandergraff. Thank you for bringing this speed concern to our attention! We can definitely take a look at your account to see what is going on with your current level of speed, along with the upgrade that was supposed to take place. We will figure everything out from there. To begin, please send me a PM with your first and last name.

To send a private message, please click my name "ComcastMorgan" then select "Send a Message" on the right side.  

Thanks! Talk soon.

Any luck in contacting a Comcast employee on these boards to assist with this?

Thanks

OK worked out what is going on.

Comcast confirmed that I am on the 400 Mbps plan and were going to re-provision the modem tonight just in case that was the issue.

However in the meantime I have discovered that it was a setting in my router that was slowing things down. I had Traffic Monitoring Per IP Enabled (monitoring data usage of each  local client) which had disabled Hardware Accleration. Disabling Per IP Monitor and turning Hardware Acceleration back on fixed the issue. Now seeing download speed well over 400 Mbps. Thanks everyone!

We're glad you were able to fix the issue! This is great news 🙂 Thanks again for all your time and help. Good catch reviewing your router settings. Do all you can to have a great night and please send us another message anytime if needed. Take care

Hello if anyone is out there,

My plan just upgraded from 200 to 400/20 mbps yesterday, I have rebooted my routers (ASUS RT-AC68U) but still getting the same speed as before (around 230/12 mbps). 

I also restarted my modem ARRIS 6190 (DOCSIS 3.0).

Any one can re-provision my modem or tell me how to get the speed I'm paying for?

Thanks,
