CM1000 comcast gigabit not surpassing 400mbps download
I have recently upgraded my internet service through comcast from 500mbps down to gigabit internet. Before the upgrade i was consistently getting around 250-400 mbps and thought this was normal (quit...
Im using speedtest.net, my pc is more than capable of handling gigabit ethernet, and as of testing im hardwired to the modem. What could cause the power to be as high as it is?
You could be close to the hub. which could cause that.
Not a huge issue. I've ran up to 13dbmv without issue. Started getting sketchy after that.
what pc is it (specs)?
speedtest.net doesn't always saturate gigabit depending on what server its using. Try dslreports.com or speedtest.xfinity.com
AMD 3900x cpu
16gb 3600mhz memory
2 500gb SSD, 1 2TB HDD
EVGA RTX 2070 Super XC gaming ultra
ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus motherboard
I just tried both of those and was getting around 600, which is defnitely better than when using speedtest.net but still not within the range im expecting. Didn't know that about speedtest.net though, I'm expecting somwhere around 900mbps from seeing what others using the same service are capable of.
want to cheat a little? try putting a 2x or 3x splitter in line and cap off the open ends. (if you've got it). it'll reduce signal strength similar to an attenuator. the key for gigabit is the docsis 3.1 connection and its a bit high.
If it doesn't impact the speeds by doing that, then I'd have your isp both check the line and check the modem provisioning.
Don't have any splitters, and im not normally hard wired to the modem, just doing this right now for testing purposes. Would a splitter really be a solution to this problem or just a bandaid?
