Downstream/Upstream Channel Locking

[pogibrown1]

Hello, I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 c7000v2 Cable Modem Router.  It's a 24x8.  I have no trouble with the downstream channels, all 24 are locked.  The upstream channels, however, only half of them lock (channels 1-4).  The other half (5-8) won't lock.  So basically I have a "24x4" modem router.  

My ISP is comcast.  My internet works fine, and my speed matches my tier (250 Mbps).  My question would be: Is it common that not all the channels lock?

Yes, its very common for it to only lock 4. Do you get your full upload speeds?

I pay for gigabit with a CM1000 that only has 4 locked upstream. I still get full upload speeds.

Thank you for your reply.  Yes, I still get full upload speeds (and a little more!).
