I would presume 100Mpbs on the up should be there since WAN ports support 1Gb.
Last time I had mine online I only saw 50mbps however tha'ts all my ISP supports, even currently.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
What is the brand and model of the host wifi router connected to the modem?
Have you connected a wired PC directly to the back of the modem with out any wifi router in the middle to check speeds?
Test with a different wired PC to compare results?
What speed test app are you using? Recommend using Ooklas installable speed test app rather than the web based version.

I am using a cat 6a thin cable from the cable modem to the router. Then from the router to the switch cat 6a thin cable. Then from the switch to the computer is a cat 6a thin cable.
My cable modem is connected to an Asus zenwifi ax mini (xd4) mesh wifi system with 3 nodes throughout my house.
When I go from cable modem to my computer using a cat 6a thin cable and run a speed test I get 950mbps down and 23mbps upload. This is the same speed I get when I go through my router and switch.
I have tried to speed test with a 2018 macbook pro and a dell precision 5760 laptop. Both give the same speeds.
The speed test app that I was using was speedtest.net and speedtest.xfinity.com
