Can't get over how snappy it is. I just got 450mbs down in my area. But it takes a while to get there. New cm2000 will be installed soon. Fingers crossed it fixes the problem with this puma chip modem I have
They don’t have crap on WOW! for cable. 1000x50 for us. Also just an FYI those modems are identical internally. They both have Broadcom chipsets. The only difference is the return bandsplit on the CM8200 is unlocked for the high band and EURODOCSIS as well.
Different times of day will net different results depending on neighborhood congestion. This can change minute to minute with a thousand different factors. Please take your results with a grain of salt. Latency is all that matters really once you get above 100mbsp or so.
Try finding a usb wifi tester, its what us as Techs use to actually pull the 1gig, most are actually getting 1020-1050 per sec.. obviously depends on your wiring and neighborhood node scores.
Nice review. A suggestion - using speedtest.net's app for Win 10 does a superior job of testing speeds. More consistent, higher speeds. Choose your closest reliable test center, and stick with that for your tests. With cable, don't do your tests at busy times (5PM).There are probably a lot of things your provider can to to improve your service, if your best speeds (on the app, with closest, best testing center) are still lacking. Getting your ISP to replace all your interior cable (all the way to the connection source,) and eliminating as many splitters as possible will help. A fresh install of Win 10 might help. Even with all new, tested cabling, there may still be adjustments that can be made by a line tech, outside of your apartment (telephone pole box, etc.) When techs do a test of your line showing 'perfect', that isn't the whole story. Levels in the exterior cable box (telephone pole,) might be too high or too low. From my casual testing of CM1000 vs. Arris 8200, it seems that both reported lower pings than the Comcast XB6 modem (11ms to local center). The CM1000 ping tests are crazy fast - 5ms? About 9ms for the Arris. The Arris did seem to have higher numbers on the upload side. Had one support call to Arris - helpful, learned something, not annoying. NOT happy with the experience of calling Netgear support. Arris = 2 year warranty, Netgear = 1 year. Anyone upgrading to Gigabit service: Make sure you're getting good speeds with XB6 before purchasing a Docsis 3.1 modem to replace it, otherwise, you're doubling your trouble, and losing precious warranty time, if problems arise. If you live in an older house / apartment building, you may end up working very hard to get your ISP to provide the promised speeds. There are a lot of aspects of testing a new install (even before sending out an installer,) that could save the ISPs (and their customers,) a lot of time and hassle.
@@4KVegas does replacing my modem bypass the limit they had provided? Im thinking the medium they have to limit the speed is through the modems Mc address. Is that possible?
Firmware update on the modem end should come directly from the ISP. Try restarting the modem. If update it needed it will force update upon restart. If this doesn't work and the modem is leased from the ISP. Simply return the modem for a new one, there is issues with the one you have if that did not work.

Dude that is some serious ISP speeds you are getting what do you pay for 1gig speeds? It's too expensive for me from Xfinity, but they do offer it in my area. I just bought the ARRIS CM8200 to replace my old ARRIS and never have an issue with them. Did you use all CAT7 cables?

I have Comcast Xfinity Gigabit for $80+ a month but I'm currently using the rented gateway they provided for an extra $11 per month. I'm looking to purchase my own and I think I may grab that NETGEAR. The most I've been able to pull was 700 download and 40 upload depending on the day lol. It's never a consistent download/upload.

4K Vegas okay thanks I had the sb6190 great model still but this one is 32 down and 8 upload and the newer one has the same downstream and upstream channels will I see a boost in speeds I’m getting 230 mbps max with the sb6190!
@@Conky88 lucky. Wish I could go to gigabit, but, for the cheap Alaskan price of 175$/mo you can, have shitty internet with high latency and constant blackouts due to no redundancy and burying the fiber optic like 2"in the ground.

Bro if you do the speed test using internet explorer with the flash player you het higher speeds chrome won’t allow you to do the test because it dose not have a flash player so it idles your speed. And you can’t use Microsoft edge because it dose not use flash. Search internet explorer on your computer search bar and make sure it’s the real on not edge and you will see a huge increase in speed. Your welcome.
4K VLogs I have Comcast with their gig speed when I use chrome I get about 400 down and 25 up with an ethernet connection. Even doing the speed test with Microsoft edge Internet explore I got the same test 400 down25 up. Then I realized I was using to web browsers that don’t support flash I went in and search Internet explorer opened up the browser made sure flash player was installed I was getting 980 down 45 up every test even Wi-Fi on the 5G network.
May be a dumb question, but why are you using beta.speedtest.net? I would think the beta version could potentially invalidate the test results, given that it's still in beta...
To be honest with you. Never even noticed till you typed it up. LOL. But, i'm sure you are right. However, I returned the cable companies modem. So, unfortunately, I can't do this over to retest.
First thing I would check is to make sure you firmware is up to date on both the modem and the router. Then if that doesn't help then contact your ISP.
Dude, eat the scrambled eggs while they're warm. That shit looks delicious. Why did you start recording a video?
Didn't realize the wife was cooking and almost done. lol

I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
There is no difference in the 2 modems, they both have the same Broadcom 3390 chipset with the same clock speeds.
Yeah, same internals. But, i did notice a gain with my Netgear Nighthawk. Only thing that i can think of that would do that is Firmware.
Have the same setup router and modem. Great setup
My isp is only giving 3mbps. And I don't know how that's gonna imorove
This will not help If you are being throttled by the ISP. There is no way around that one.
