CM3000 Cable Modem Upload Stream Issues

I have had Cox communications to my house several times in the past month and a half.  They've replaced all the cable connections both in and out of my house.  I have 2 gig download 100+MBPS upload.  The download is fine, the upload will not go past 40 MBPS no matter what we try.  He checked the speed without using the modem and he was getting 113 mbps uploads.  Once connected to the cable modem, 39-40 if I'm lucky.  This modem is less than 5 months old.  

 

I can't see any settings in the UI to adjust.  Keep in mind this was working fine until recently.

        Ok, so there is a known issue with FW v6 on these modems. NG is aware of it. You'll need to contact the ISP and have them revert the FW back to prior v5 or what ever they had been using before v6 FW was loaded on it and there the only ones that can load FW on user modems. CC/XF have already been reverting there users back for this model modem. After reverting, modems are working. 

         

        After that, check the event logs page again. Currently theres too many criticals and warnings that the ISP needs to resolve. However check again after v5 FW is loaded back on by the ISP. If you still see issues there with criticals, errors and warnings, have the ISP check all up to the modem. 

         

        The cable connections log and data looks good. No issues there.
