Gigabit plan getting upload speed of .22 MBPS

Not sure what the original problem was but as an FYI, the Asus CM32 is not compatible with the gigabit speed tier. It is only a DOCSIS 3.0 capable device. A DOCSIS 3.1 device is necessary for gig.

Thank you, i know it is not docsis 3.1, but shouldnt it still get upload speeds quicker than what I'm receiving? I know it still has a max upload speed past what i have. If getting a docsis 3.1 modem would fix it I'm open to correcting.

Yes. It theoretically it should get faster upload speed. They will not provision a DOCSIS 3.0 device for the gig speed tier. They do not have a boot / config file for it. A DOCSIS 3.0 device will automatically default to using a slower speed tier config file.

Why would one pay for gig and not use the required device for it ?

The rep was wrong. Good luck !

Hi.

I've tried to use the gear necessary for it from Xfinity , but after getting 3 bad Xfi Gateway boxes from Xfinity I decided to try to get my own equipment to get internet in my house because i had none for days and need it for work. The rep i spoke with to activate claimed this model was approved by comcast for the plan I had, so I was under the assumption even though it was not 3.1 I would at least be getting speeds somewhat comparible to the plan I'm paying for.

If getting a 3.1 will truly solve the issue, or if that is the nagging reason for the terrible upload speed, I of course would be willing to. 

Thank you very much for your time. I will get a 3.1 updated router. I appreciate your help !

Hi all, back again already.

Purchased a netgear nighthawk AC3200 3.1 router, got it activated and had great speeds (800 down 40 up).

Went and played maybe 30 minutes of the new call of duty, and I'm right back to 100-200 down and .5 up. I'm at a loss here, this is on multiple PC's all hardwired (one not for gaming). Any other ideas  ? I can post whatever information is needed. I'm going to let the modem run all night and post the event log in the morning, I already have the following 

"Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=44:a5:6e:b4:ca:f8;CMTS-MAC=00:90:f0:34:01:00;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;"

Adding more information. In the morning so far speeds are back to normal, I will check throughout the day, I'm guesing noise in the line or something in the area node. There are no splitters on the house from a direct line from the pole. 

Posting downstream and upstream stats below. these are current (when internet is good). I will also post the event log below that.

Hi all!

I had a tech come out and replace the line from the pole to my house. Per usual, everything was great in the morning, but once I logged on later in the day (9PM), my upload speed went back to a crawl. Here is the current upstream bonded channels. @EG sorry to tag you directly. But any other ideas or something i can tweak on my side?

Hi all. I've posted before but starting a new thread for help. This issue has been going on for 3+ weeks and I'm at my wits end. I will try to summarize everything that has been done.

I have gigabit internet service from comcast. During the day my connection is great (800-900 download 30-40 upload), but after around 5pm every day my download drops to 300-400 and upload drops to .5 to 1.0. This causes nearly everything on my network to tank.

I have two PC's hardwired (Cat5e) directly to my modem. My Modem is now a Netgear Nighthawk AC3200 3.1 docsis modem. Im on my seventh modem in total (4 bad gateway Xfi's) and a 3.0 that was not supported. Wifi Speeds are affected as well after 5pm.

I have had three tech visits so far, the first one checked the line outside, the last two visits both replaced the line from the pole to my house so everything from the alley to my house is new. Neither have improved the problem. I have spent every night the last week trying to talk through tech support and customer service to get an answer, but everyone i talk to creates tickets just for me to find out later that they were closed and they reccomend i contact netgear which i do not think is the problem (ticket # CR921421028 for example). I have been asking for someone to check the CMTS or nodes in the area as I beleive there may be noise in the lines but I'm not a network tech, so I'm not certain.

Below I will post my router info and some of the errors i had last week. I appreciate any help.

The signal stats are o/k but the error log entries indicate that something is going on. Perhaps there is noise ingress into the line(s) somewhere.

There are other signal stat figures 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 that are available to these boards. They will be able to poll the CMTS to see whether or not everything is in the green zone, see your node / cable plant and modem health, and also see a history plot for the modem. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Amira, I sent my information last friday and have not received a response.

I had yet another tech come out to my house on 8/22 and he agree's it is an ingress noise issue in my area. I asked xfinity support today for an update on the job number and they told me it had been resolved and that my account has no tickets open. The problem is still happening as I type this.

Please any help I can get would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end. I would love to not be such a pain, but every time I get a tech or a job number, customer service tells me its closed and the problem is not resolved.

@ComcastAmira @EG 

Following up. Ive called the customer support number multiple times, the job number I was given by the tech on 8/22 , all of the support team cannot give me any updates on it and refuse to help me. The speeds have gotten even worse and I'm now unable to keep a consistent connection after 5-6PM CST. This is costing me every day as I'm unable to work. I spent 2 hours this morning on the xfinity support chat and another hour on the phone with customer service and nobody has been able to give me any information or updates. Everyone ive spoken with continues to tell me my ticket numbers show "closed and problem resolved". The problem has only gotten worse.

I hope to get some information ASAP. After an hour of arguing today, the CSR rep stated someone would call me within 24-48 hours from the advanced tech support, but this is the third time ive been told this with zero call back to my number. I need assistance here.

thank you.

I'm going to re-escalate your issue.
