coxcommy, your Network Interface Card (NIC) may not be capable of speeds over 100 Mbps.
To test on a Windows computer:
Open "Control Panel"
Select "Network and Internet"
Select "Network and Sharing Center"
Select "Change adapter settings"
Right Click on “Ethernet" or "Local Area Connection”
Click “Status”
Status will show you the NIC's Speed.
A PC with a 100 Mbps NIC will show 100.0 for speed. Cox may be pushing download speeds well in excess of 100 Mbps to your modem, but if your computer has a 100 Mbps NIC, it won't be able to obtain those download speeds without a NIC upgrade. Actual speeds will max out somewhere below 100 Mpbs due to network overhead.
A PC with a 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps NIC will show 1.0 Gbps for speed.
Thanks. It's a intel ac 8265 max and 886.7 Mbps not quite gig speed capable but should easily handle 150 Gbps.
