Was getting some slow speed tests on my wired desktop pc, so I called Xfinity, they sent a tech, and he tested my speeds to and from the modem and router. Everything tested perfectly (roughly 350 down on a 300 down plan) But when you test it directly on the PC, it ranges from 50 to 150 down at best. The tech said something is wrong, but he couldn't figure out what. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! (I am running windows defender as an antivirus/firewall for those that may ask)

Everything is brand new construction, no splitters, and the last tech that was here showed me his meter running around 1gb/sec from the connection (I only pay for 300) Anyway Xfinity's speedtest is showing 360mb down, while sourceforge/speedofme show roughly 50mb down, and ookla is showing 150 down. My streaming services are definitely running slower, which tells me xfinity is artificially inflating their own testing numbers to be in line with what I am paying for while other sites are giving me a true representation of my speeds. Also, I have run these tests many times before, and they are normally all in line with each other (350ish down).

I was wondering why they weren't showing up! Long story short, most of them are about half of my speed tier (300mbps) and some are as low as 50mbps down. Google/Verizon/Xfinity show in the 300s, but my internet is not running like it's at that speed. I will post a picture of my Netgear CM1000 info below, https://imgur.com/HZiLgVK [img]https://i.imgur.com/HZiLgVK.png[/img]

Recently I have noticed a huge slow down in my internet speeds. Web pages were slow to load, applications were slow to update incoming data, etc. Checked 8 different speed test sites: Sourceforge: Ookla: Fast.com: AT&T: Verizon: Google: Xfinity: Speedofme: File won't load, but it was 52mbps down/22 up As you can see, more than half of the tests are showing less than half of my normal download speeds, while xfinity/verizon/google fiber all show normal speeds. Any ideas or recommendations?

This problem is becoming more and more frequent. I start watching a recorded program before it is finished recording, and somewhere during the playback I am kicked out to live tv. If I try to play the recording again, it kicks me out at the same spot each time. So my X1 will show the entire show was recorded, but it will not let me watch the entire show
