Hi, Shawn. That modem has 32 downstream channels. As we're addressing each channel at 25Mbps, you are likely going to hover around 800 and would benefit from a different modem.
It may only have 32 QAM downstream channels, but it also has the capability of using OFDM downstream channels which can support higher speeds. Cox lists the modem to support up to 1Gbps as per here. Can you explain? What model would you suggest?
Alright, thank you for that information.
As WiderMouthOpen mentioned, it's on the list of modems that support 1Gig. My CM1000 currently has 32 of 32 locked channels, plus 2 of 2 locked OFDM channels for downstream. I am just curious if my speeds are what other people are seeing from Cox Gigablast using a similar 32+2 (down) 8+2 (up) OFDM modem. If other people in my area are getting faster with the same spec modem, I am wondering if the DMARC point to my house needs to be looked at.

I wonder that too. As per your old post here, there might be a filter on your line that blocks out some of the signal that kept you from getting the TV signal. That was before Cox encrypted their signal, since now they don't have to block/filter signal to stop service. Since it requires a box/CC now, all they have to do is flip a switch in their computers. That same filter may be stopping some of the signal needed to allow your modem full speed. Just a guess.
Thanks. I will ask Cox if there is a charge to send a tech to check on the external wiring. I don't see any filters at my house box outside and no splitters since I don't use it for TV still. Still really sad that Cox (and Comcast/Xfinity) charge to pipe free OTA signals over the coax. I miss that.
