VERY SLOW UPLOAD SPEEDS, download is fine.

Thanks Zurq, always some good info.  My Netgear C6900 had 24 channels, download power -8.9 to -13.8.  My upload had 4 with results of 48.4 to 50.4.  So by your standards of +-7 and 38-48, I'm outside the ranges of being Great, maybe Fair.  The Home screen shows the Cable Connection as Good.  Is there a Better, Great or Excellent indicator here?

I've tighten my modem coaxial connection, including the 1 splitter, and wall, and have power restarted the modem.  Does this imply my Modem is going bad, one that I purchased but on the COx list.  Since I don't really have issues, other than noticing my upload speeds dropping to half the 2week ago numbers when using the COX speedtest.  Other speed test give higher uploads.  Also did a pingplotter to the cox site, and showed #6 with lager packet loss.  But Cox said my modem had issues, and did not want to discuss the Hop issue I saw.  Cox also would not share the IP address that their OCounty speed test was pointing to so that I could have run a ping or pingplotter  to it instead of speedtest.  WinMTR also had same #6 PLoss like pingplotter did.
