      @chpalmer I'll keep my eye open for a deal on a newer modem. The SB8200 and CM1100 seem to get good reviews.

      @bmeeks Thanks again for the info. I'll ask around in neighborhood forums to see if anyone else is having issues with their xfinity connection. Hopefully I can find someone as knowledgeable as the folks in this forum, but then they'd probably already be on top of the issue 😬

      Would this problem be as noticeable if they have a higher bandwidth service plan?

        If you have issues with the node you are served from, a higher speed tier is not likely to help. An overloaded or malfunctioning node would be expected to affect all speed tiers. The one exception might be if they moved you to another node for a higher tier, but that is extremely unlikely as the node serving you is usually fixed due to the realities of coax cable routing on the poles.

        To test and make sure a saturated uplink is not your issue, play your game at a time when you are 100% certain nobody else is using your Internet connection but you and your gaming machine. No streaming or anything else going on. If you have problems then, it is likely to be an upstream ISP problem. If you have no issues, then somebody really loading up on downloads can hurt your gaming and ping times as all the ACKs from the busy downloads can eat up the upload bandwidth.
