I've tried a few things myself but they haven't helped. Disconnected the router and hooked up directly to the modem, swapped out the HSI/TV splitter on the outside of the house, and made sure all connections are secure. I'm still at 4000/384. :huh:

Should I swap out my modem? It's an RCA DCM305, which is on the approved list. It's never given me a lick of trouble in the two years I've had it.

What version is your Linky BEFCMU10?

Differences in your experience and mine could be compatibility issues or version/firmware differences, I suppose.

Now my other modem, The linksys BEFCMU10, is doing strange stuff... I rebooted it and you can see the proper rates set on the modem in the config. 66000 and 384.

But the linksys actually went down in speed. Now it wont pull more then 3.9 down and steadily keeps going down as your transfer.. Never had a problem with this modem until now.. Was pulling 4.3 no problem before i rebooted it...

So i actually lost speed with the linksys mode.. even though the config is set to 6mb down and 384 up..

I thought this would happen the other way around with my modems. I thought for sure the linksys would be solid and the dcm235 would be crap.. But i guess I'm wrong this time..

If you're not getting the higher speeds on your Comcast owned modem, and you've gone through all the scripted steps that the phone person makes you go through, I would insist that they either allow you to swap out the modem at the local office, or that they send a tech to your house to verify the problem and bring a new modem at the same time. It seems ridiculous to me that they would balk at swapping out the modem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15019542 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:17:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15019313 said by Master_10_:

I think the RCA DCM245 is a DOCSIS 1.1 I live on the east coast and have not been able to get the speed upgrade with this modem. I had 4mb config file with this modem and suddenly one day I lost the config file and went back down to 3mb in the summertime. I have not been able to pull the 4mb or higher config file. I have a feeling that this modem cannot handle the speed upgrade.
You maybe right, but I am getting conflicting information.

1)Comcast, last night, told me over the phone that they could 'see' my modem was DOCSIS II.

2)I looked in the modem's manual, and it says "compliance to DOCSIS specification" and "capable of receiving data at rated of up to 3000kbps".
»anon.comcastonline2.spee ··· m245.pdf

3)If I go to baber.com (the Thompson-RCA site has no information) where they sell the RCA DCM245, they say the 245 is DOCSIS 1.1, AND "advanced silicon enables throughput of over 10 Megabits per second in UDP mode and 7 Mbps in TCP/IP mode.
»www.baber.com/baber/desk ··· 245r.htm

4)On the Comcast list of approved modems, the RCA (Thompson) DCM245 is listed, but I think that list hasn't been updated for the new, higher speeds.
»www.comcast.net/help/faq ··· ems17905

Anyone know the truth on all of this and the RCA DCM245?

I'd like to walk into the Comcast office and get the latest modem that they issue for my area, but unless I have authorization, I can't.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15019313 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 10:44:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15018703 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15018703 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 09:05:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-I-dont-have-the-speed-upgrade-thread-15017475 ----------------------
I knew I should've waited a few more weeks before rebooting my modem! I've been getting 4mbps rock solid for the last year. Based on the posting that said the SF Bay Area upgrade was completed, I rebooted (power cycled) my modem and machine. Now I get 596kbps down.

I called Comcast, and they told me I was set to get 6mbps, and they pushed me a new config file. No joy. They did some more looking around, and found that the headend in San Mateo County was not completed. I'm stuck with 596kbps until it's done.
