Comcast wants me to upgrade

[RocketJSquirrel]

Now SNB Forum members want you to upgrade your 10+ years old RT-AC68U. What you are going to do about it?

One device at a time or I get confused. The AC68 is next.

It's a hero device on the forums but well beyond the use by date - just saying..

At this time D4 is only in trails. There are no retail D4 modems available for customers right now. That said they are in development and testing.

Midsplit works fine on any next gen supported modem. Being 3.1 is not the issue.

Having no problems here with Xfinity’s changes.

My home was wired with Cat5E by the previous owner, and I have loads of 1 gbps unmanaged switches around my large home. I don't anticipate upgrading the in-wall wiring and all the switches. None of my wired equipment can go faster than 1 gigabit anyway.

Cat5e will give you 10gbps speed out to a distance of about 45 meters/almost 150 feet.

If you have internet runs that long in your house, apparently you live in Wayne Manor, and Alfred, your butler, can pull Cat6a for you later!

I wonder what I should be seeing for upstream stats other than this. Channel 1 operating perhaps?

Comcast updated my modem while I wasn't looking. I'm now getting the 200 Mbps upload speeds. A happy ending!

Glad to hear it. Enjoy the extra upload speeds. Still waiting here for upgrades.

Today I finally replaced my old Motorola MB8600 with a new Hitron CODA56 modem as recommended by Comcast.
...
I am seeing absolutely no difference when running Speedtest. My upload speeds are still in the 40 Mbps range, nowhere near 200.

Post a screenshot of your DS (downstream) channels from your modem. What you want to look for is the OFDM channel, 193, at 957 MHz. This will confirm your area has been upgraded from sub-split to mid-split.

This is what my modem shows for DS:

My modem also shows this at the top, though I'm overprovisioned to 2300Mbps.

Thats only 2 channels where are the rest ? The 2 you provided are to high and basically out of spec.

Thanks. I think I'll need to get the tech in for a service call... I'm in a new place. My internet feels great, and all speed tests are showing 2300/90 (I should be able to do better on the upstream).
