Internet never gets over 30MB

So we've been a loyal Cox customer for almost 10 years now. I upgraded our internet to the Premiere almost a year ago, but without fail we never see anything above 30MB download speeds. Does Cox cap this or is there some account code that is preventing us from getting the full 100MB?

We're running a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and a NightHawk router, which all test out good. When we call tech support, they reset the modem which never resolves the issue. Any ideas?

I'd suggest for starters a simple test by trying the speeds without the router and see if there is any difference.

Thanks Chris. We've done that multiple times, with no difference. Caps out at 30MB every time. I'm willing to bet we're having the same issue as others on here where an account code is not set right. Is there a way to check that?

I looked at your modem from this end and the signal levels being reported are some of the worst I've seen in a while.  If you can bypass any cable splitters I'd try that and see if it helps.  It may be time to arrange for a technician to come and troubleshoot further.
