Hello Peeps and hopefully Chad! I've had Mediacom gigabit for around a month or so and my speeds (using http://speedtest.mediacomtoday.com/) are in the high 300's to low 400's mbps down. I didn't know if this is expected or acceptable for gigabit service. Honestly at this point our service has finally been rock solid stable so I haven't said much lol. Also after having straight up issues for 4 months solid they finally busted tail and a tech spent 3-4 hours here to get it right. Thanks for that btw! I know when I beta tested for a week or so our speeds were consistently in the 900's down. Now upload is always 50-70 mpbs. I have a Mediacom rented modem (Ubee emta with router enabled) so I can't really check the signal levels. I'm assuming since I'm getting over 250mpbs down the OFDM (acronym sp?) signal has locked. Now I did want to say I have tried plugging the same laptop in (with the power cord attached and it's windows 10) to the modem/router on port 1, rebooted the modem, then ran a speed test and still got low to mid 400's down. Is this expected? If so it's no biggie as I know "advertised" bandwidth and real world bandwidth are usually two different things. Before I continue I have had to swap out somewhere in the ballpark of 4-5 Technicolor modems since August of last year and those all got the same speeds too. So I'm thinking if there is a possible configuration issue maybe it's on the backend or outside of the house hopefully. I'm going to pm Chad my account info and the link to this post but I was hoping maybe some other peeps might have some input on this.
EDIT: Forgot to add the most recent speedtest results plugged directly into the modem with everything else disconnected
