Slow Upload Speeds on CM1000
I'm experiencing slow upload speeds with my CM1000 cable modem on Comcast's network. My plan is for 300Mbps down, 25Mbps upstream. The download speed is close to 300, but the upload speed ranges fr...
which website did you check?
what speeds do you see on the COMCAST speedtest website?
please post your power levels and event logs.
I've used various sites including speedtest.xfinity.com. On Comcast's site I get 8 Mbps up. For most other sites, I get a lower value, including for testmy.net I get 1-2 Mbps up.
Here are some diagnostics:

power levels look good.
have you had better US speeds before?
Please PM me you CM MAC, CMTS MAC, and location of the device (city, state).
I believe so. The reason this came to my attention is that I'm sharing videos via Plex with a friend. Before this worked without issue, but now we are getting major buffering issues. I think 8 Mbps up would not cause buffering issues for the size/quality of the videos I am sharing, but it appears my real upload speed is closer to 2 Mbps according to testmy.net (and others) -- this speed could be the source of our buffering issues, and at any rate I would expect to get upload speeds much closer to my provisioned speed of 25.
I will PM you those details.
