Iโm surprised your upload is so low. They recently did some massive speed boosts in many places, 100 for most users and 200 for gigabit or higher.
Maybe I'll have to call in and complain. Seems to be the only time the get things working. I originally got the 1Gig plan because it had the highest available upload they had because I used to sometimes stream. I have an SB8200 so there shouldn't be anything preventing higher uploads.
Wonder if a competitor moved into your area. Only reason Comcast ever seems to make improvements is when a competitor with something better rolls into town.
The better upload requires using their modem/router, or one of the specific users owned ones that are approved by them to work with the mid-split tech. While my old modem could technically do it, it wasn't "approved" for the speed. I was limited on upload to 35 but could usually hit 45 from over provisioning. I had to buy a new modem but now I get 1400/200. They just flipped the switch on being able to use consumer owned hardware at all with the mid-splits this fall.
