DOCSIS 3.1 Channel Maximum Speed
Sorry if similar questions have been answered elsewhere. I have checked here, and many outside sources but the answer is unclear. I am hoping someone on this forum might know. I have a CM1000v2 modem...
Who is your ISP?
Most 1Gb services need or require all 32 channels and docsis 3.1 to be used to be able to achieve 1Gb on the down. Anything less then that would probably not see 1Gb. Something to talk to your ISP about.
The CM modem is well capable of 1Gb services on the down side when 32 channels are being used.
- The ISP in this case is Mediacom. They insist that I am able to get 1gig with this configuration, but I do not. So I am looking for confirmation that it is not possible. And also to confirm if my info on channels and speed is correct.
What are speed are you seeing with a wired PC connected to the back of the modem using Ooklas installable speed test app?
Possible the ISP is combining or compressing speeds into half the channels. Something you might want to check with the Cable Labs and the DOCSIS 3.1 specs.
- With a wired connection straight to a computer with a 1 gig Ethernet port I normally get around 630mbit, ignoring the occasional low times. I get the same on my WiFi. And note I easily get over 1 gig on WiFi, and full gig downloads from my NAS on WiFi.
Mentioned the possibility of compression. Is there any way to test for that? I mean without additional equipment.
