I have confirmed that this firmware downgrade occurred with my modem, and that I have received the same notice from Comcast.

Thanks for the input!
I have confirmed that the bulk of my problem is the Zyxel USG60 router. I put the drop amp back into the circuit as I would normally have it but plugged a PC directly into the modem for testing. While I am still seeing the previous events, with the USG60 out of the path, I am now seeing 940/25.
Apparently, the issues were the USG60 router all along.
As for WIFI, I already have a mesh system with 3 nodes (overkill but works).
I will be exploring firewall/router devices for something that has better throughput based on my service tier. The speed issues are NOT caused by the drop amp!
Thanks for the patience! Any recommendations for firewall/router in this speed tier would be appreciated. I'm considering the NetGate 4100 for a bit of future-proofing that meets by speed tier.
The USG60 is considered obsolete and no longer getting updates. Guess I have a better understanding WHY it is obsolete!
RG6 is needed for any Cable modem connections from the ISP.
RG59 is only for TV connections. Make sure RG59 is not being used to connect the cable internet modem to the ISP.
Find a router that best suites your needs and covers home size for wifi coverage. Mesh system maybe needed. Good Luck.

Zyxel are mostly used by ISPs. I can't recommend ISP equipment. Especially there routers. No really the best out there and there is better. Even NG has better routers.
Sounds like you narrowed it down the this branded router as the cause.
