OFDM channels required for Gigablast?

I just signed up for Gigablast and I was checking speeds. I checked my modem page on my CM1000 and I'm not seeing any OFDM channels locked. I'm seeing ~340 mbps max download speeds when doing a controlled test from my laptop wired directly into the modem. On averaging it's usually about about 300 mbps-310mbps. During certain times of the day I'm seeing it much lower. Upload speeds of 35mbps seem fairly consistent.

Below is the status page from my modem. Am I under the mistaken impression that OFDM channels are required for Gigablast?

    Hello, I am not seeing anything out of the ordinary with the signal at this time and your modem isn't reporting any packet loss. Here is some additional information about our speed tests:
