slow upload speeds RS700
I just purchased the RS700 and got it setup and when running multiple hardwired speedtests on multiple different servers I can't hit above 250~Mbps on upload. Download speeds are 900+Mbps as expected...
Quick update - I was very fortunate to have a first-class technician from Frontier come out today. He really knew networking, both as a career and a hobby. I was worried my ISP might (rightfully) say sorry buddy, use the Eero Pro's we gave you, our ONT is fine... but thankfully it went the complete other way.
After chatting with him, he agreed to move me over to XGS-PON with ONT swap. Issued a FRX523. Pulled a short new fiber and moved the whole setup into my garage, nice enclosure, very clean. With sincere thanks expressed to him. He was far more thankful that I ran the cables all weekend and drilled the holes đ
Anyways ---- while this is "good news" for me, I got very lucky and if the tech didn't take care of me, I would have to return this Netgear back. I'm reminded of other users with this problem with ISPs / techs that may not have new equipment or be willing to do a whole ONT model exchange. I just upgraded my service from 500m to 1gb last week too, so I had a bit of a leg to stand on. Not all will have that luxury.
Bing BH_C you've been a big help so far, I'm just hopeful that the Engineering team figures this thing out. I did send over a detailed technical manual from Alcatel-Lucent on the 211 series, if it helps. I'm looking forward to the next stable firmware release. (Is there a Wi-Fi Channel Scan / Optimizer on this thing?)
In closing, big thanks to the other users who actively helped me and others. Fingers crossed Netgear dials this one in.

I had tested a while back with a MikroTik hEX inbetween, had forgotten about that: Permalink (SETUP C)
My results were nearly identical to what Rob1099 got with his GS108 in the setup so it's not even the routing part that is the problem as in my setup the routing was taken over by the MikroTik while in his setup the GS108 only does switching.
Some sort of packet mangling happening between the RS700 & ONT ports...I wish I could get my hands on the Calix 812NG-V which is their new ONT for >1 GBit but the service is not provisioned in my area just yet.
