I would be more than happy with that speed. Hardwired, on a good day I might get 250-300, where my service is supposedly 800.

You are getting to the point where you will need to post cable connection page and event log information from your modem.
It is helpful to copy and paste information from your configuration interface to a word processing program. Adjust the margins and font size so it is readable and save to a pdf for attaching to your reply.
