Signed up for gigabit 1 year ago, still poor speeds

So I have even changed my router, twice and still getting at most around 550mbps on a good day.

I have a motorola MB8600 modem.

I have a Netgear nighthawk R9000 and also a synology RT2600AC.

Connecting directly to the modem the laptop and desktop still all combinations report around the same value, maybe a few mbps more when directly connected to the modem.

 

Does this information from the modem look good?

Thoughts? Maybe on a good day late in the evening, i get around 570mbps. I think after 1 year, i'd get around 800mbps at least.

 

wired connection directly to the router. CAT6e and CAT7 cables (tried them both)

using a 1GB NIC but also a 10Gb NIC and same issue.

Yes, that’s it. It’s all proper equipment, proper signal levels and proper rate codes. If you’re not seeing the speeds work with customer service and have a tech out, especially if you’ve waited a year

So, i am not referring to DOCSIS 3.1 modem but from the comcast perspective, what equipment is used to enable the 1gbps speed?

 

If living in an apartment complex specifically, what wiring for a unit needs to be put in place or equipment? I am trying to figure out for 1 year, why I am not able to get the speeds. They claim that everything is enabled but I am yet to even get 550Mbps +

 

I think being billed for it for 1 year is silly and wasting my money frankly and not getting the service I paid for.

 

All I see is just a splitter in the cabinet/unit for cable (behind a utility room) but is that all that's needed?

If you’re getting 550, then possibly it’s not a priority until the pandemic passes and you’re able to troubleshoot properly/communicate with customer service and have a tech out.

yes to both. I even have a 10Gbps NIC and same issue. 

 

I understand about the priority but it's been 1 year so it's a priority in addition to the fact that I WFH and work in the IT sector for a large major world corp. I know the pandemic is a big concern, I do, but would be nice just to talk to a tech but the virtual agent won't let me.

in such a case, bills should not be generated either.... which ultimately pays for their salaries and services.

For some reason the search didnt bring up my thread and clicking on the notification did not take me to this thread either.

Anyway... I have an engineer coming out this afternoon so let's see what they say this time 😊

Engineer came and used the famous XMT device. Showing 970Mbps. I don't trust that device at all.

Why do I not get even close to that speed then? I would expect about 750 ish. It cannot be said that it's a problem with the computer because it happens on 1 computer and 2 different laptops with the same issue.

 

He couldn't figure it out, but I appreciate his time. Even he was stumped.
