Please PM me details (current speedtest results, CM MAC, Account #, screenshots of the connection page and event log, and confirmation if you have ever seen Close to gigabit  before purchasing CM1150V such as XB6 Comcast gateway)

As you can see by my previous post I tried speedtest.net and get a totally different speed than comcast test. I guess comcast test is wrong? Moden has been running fine last 3 days :)

    Great to hear! I'm still in Comcast purgatory. No real answers yet. You are right, speedtest.net results are usually less favorable than Comcasts. Strange. Early on the Netgreat employee trying to work with me indicated my line was too "hot". He didn't think that was the issue, but after no resolution and many days, I'm not so sure. I've just ordered the Motoroa SB8600 since people seem to have fewer issues with Comcast Gigabit service.

     

    I want to love the Netgear, but don't know if I can survice another fruitless hours long session with Comcast support. I still have few days before the new modem arrives and will continue to check what I can. I just received an order of high frequency couplers and compression F connectors in case it is signal/cable related. 

     

    Thanks for the update! Happy surfing...

      Can you provide a link to the Motorola SB8600?  I can't find it anywhere online.  I only see an MB8600.  I'd like to compare the specs to the CM1150V.  Thanks.

        Well, how embarrasing. You are correct sir. I'm so used to having surfboards I typed the wrong model. It is the MB8600. I ordered it from Amaz... but it is available at BB and a couple other places. Honestly, I'm surprised no one stocks it locally. I read an article comparing the top few DOCSIS 3.1 modems and decided I'd take a chance with it. I'll also paste a photo that Comcast chat provided showing the only fully compatible 3.1 modems at the moment. I just thought that since the Netgear was in the same family as the approved modems, that it would be okay.  Article: https://bluegadgettooth.com/best-docsis-3-1-cable-modem/

        Note, I've attached a screen shot of the approved modems...
