CM1000v2 Slow Upload Speeds
Just installed a CM1000v2 in place of the rented xfinity modem/router, activated it, and hooked it up to my PC with a CAT8 ethernet cable. The speeds I'm getting are 700 down/5 up. My plan is 1000 down/200 up. What could be causing the 5Mbps upload speed over gigabit ethernet? Cable connection and log screenshots attached.

Your CM1000v2 is not on the Xfinity list of certified modems for connection to their Next Generation Speed network.
That means you do not have access to the 100/200 Mbps upload like you had through your rented gateway.
Here is the link to the most recent list:

Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

My mistake, thought the recommended devices were related to the Next Gen Speed Tier.
