Re: [Install] Comcast requires fiber for regular gigabit?

Have you tried using a different patch cable between modem and router or computer? I've ran into problems in the past when that is it all it was.

Yes, I've tried several different Cat 6 and 6a cables.

Honestly if you're in IL, why not just take an XB6 anyway? it's $15 for the modem and unlimited data around chicago.

That's what i get with the supplied XB6, and have had zero reason to ever consider swapping it.

I already have unlimited data. The XB6 wasn't giving me full speeds, though, so I chose to get rid of it and use my own MB8600 after the technician swapped out my old XB6 with another one (which didn't solve my issue).

I am not sure what's going on. I think the node must have gotten upgraded because I used to get like 38 dB downstream power levels and now they're around 41. Could there be a problem with my node that Comcast is overlooking (like always)?
