Netgear CM500 - Upstream not channel bonding

[Nickybuttons]

I'm having issues with my upload speeds when playing games and voice chat. 
I pay for the 600Mbps speed and I'm the only one in the household. 

Any help solving this issue is deeply appreciated. 

Netgear CM500 modem
Modem is connected to the line from the outside box. 
Modem is only 3 months old. 

Below is the connection log from the modem.

1. The CM500 is only rated by Comcast for use with plan download speeds "Up to 372 Mbps". See https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices/. Using devices with speed tiers for which they are not approved tends to produce unexpected results.
   
2. Downstream power is a bit too high. See "Check your signal levels" in Connection Troubleshooting Tips.
3. Only one upstream channel is locked. There should be at least three.

You need a modem appropriate for your speed tier, and you should probably have a premise tech out to take a look at signal levels and missing channels, if you can persuade Comcast to send one. Call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast, or use one of the options on https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us/.

The Modem is rated for speeds upwards to 680Mbps per Netgears site. 

I have contacted Xfinity's costumers service, and they escalted my case to a higher tier of tech support . They should be calling me tomorrow Monday 6/15/2020. 

What I'm trying to figure out is if it's the modem that is defective or is the signal being sent from Xfinity that is the issue.

That's a theoretical or lab-bench speed you'll never see in the real world. Manufacturer speed ratings don't matter, only the Comcast numbers do. That modem will never do 600 Mbps on their system.

Chances are the problem is a mismatch between the modem and the speed tier, and/or local signal problems. It's not likely they'll be able to fix this remotely, unless dropping to a lower speed tier takes care of the problem. And that would still leave downstream power a bit on the high side.
