Long story short, I just moved to an apartment, and I'm setting up Xfinity internet. I signed up for the 300Mbps connection, and purchased my own modem Netgear Nighthawk C7000.
Shortly after the install, I ran a speedtest and was only getting 160Mbps. Upload was fine at 25Mbps. Anyways, I called Comcast, and they suggested I run by my local Xfinity store and rent a modem and see if that made a difference, and it did. I also tried my personal modem that I bought, and it now is giving me the speed I'm paying for. Getting now 360Mbps/25Mbps. Not sure what the issue was the previous day.
With that being said, I know DOCSIS 3.0 is some-what archaic. Would it benefit me to swap the DOCSIS 3.0 modem out and go with a 3.1?
