kudos:6 | everything looks fine but the upstream isnt on the right modulation, it should be 64 not 16. thats nothing you can really control
edit: well now that i think about it your snr could use some improvement but is still within operational limits |

Depends on your market if it should be 16 or 64 qam, here in WNY we use 16QAM for d3 and its more then capable of handling the 5Mbps d3 upload speed. Something else might be the cause of not hitting your cap.
Are you with Time Warner? Xfinity is comcast. |

I wonder why your ping is high considering that all your other parameters are within specs. Could it be your browser? Try chrome and ie and see if that changes something.
When I first installed my D3 modem it wouldn't even connect to the internet, it took TWCDude's intervention to fix the problem. Then my ping times and download speeds were all over the place but after a few hours they settled down to low pings and to a constant 50/5 speed.
One thing that might be important is that I have two drops from the tap one for TV boxes and another for just the modem. |

A lot of people here seem to use the Xfinity (Comcast) Speed Test servers just because. I have no idea why to be honest. Nothing special about them other than the fact that they might have good connectivity. A halfway decent NDT server works just as well since those are always connected to at least 100Mbps. |

I get the same speeds using comcast.net (Houston, Chicago etc) and speedtest.net (Houston, Austin, Dallas etc) or NDT's servers, our problem (in the rgv division) is that we are at least 300 miles away from a decent server.
McAllen's speedtest.net server gives higher latency and slower speeds why? probably because their connection is not capable of coping with wideband speeds and probably the path to the McAllen server is longer than comcast's Houston server.
It is best to test your speeds using a local server (like TWC) but once you are out of the TWC network you are at the mercy of who knows what. |

| Same deal with me, though the thing is it doesn't matter which server I pick. My ISP, Verizon doesn't have a local server here in Buffalo and the closest server they have is in New York City, where there are tons of other NDT, Flash, and HTTP-based speed test servers available, all 20ms away. So, I really have no local choice. My other ISP, Frontier has a regional server in Rochester, NY which is closer than what Verizon has but for that line I must test to Ashburn, VA if I want anything close to the network endpoint. |

I've been using chrome for almost a year now.
I only used the xfinity test in order to try a different test rather than the usual speedtest.net and twc's own test.
I have one drop from the pole in the alley to a nearly brand new box on the outside of my house from which the connection is then split to one connection for the cable dvr and one for the arris modem.
New test pics attached.

Looks like he just used a comcast speed test server.
16qam is 10mbps (8mbps after overhead) Not enough if it shared by a more then 10-15(or less) subscribers
Our area has ATDMA DOCSIS 2.0 upstream channel \
30 Mbps upstream channel
But we did have DOCSIS 2.0 since 2004 though. |

I know that the North Texas Dallas 860MHz area is running:
4 TDMA-ATDMA mixed mode QAM16/QAM64 upstreams on:
24.5MHz
29.5MHz
33MHz
36.5MHz
Don't know about the outlying 750MHz TWC system in Greenville Texas that got DOCSIS 3.0 last year but they have 4 downstreams don't know about the upstream. |

I took the liberty to ping your IP (inbound) from a mcallen business and below are the results. Are you still having the high ping and 'slow' upload? If you want to make an outbound test I IM'ed you the IP to run the test on... let us know the results.

Colorado Springs, CO | I am at a loss why your speedtest shows a 700 ping and ping test shows a 32 ms ping.
Try a trace route to somewhere and see if any of the hops show a spike in the latency. |

Like Baelfur said it doesn't make any sense, inbound and outbound pings are great but the speed tests are not.
Just for curiosity try this »www.att.com/speedtest/
Perhaps a routing issue? DNS issues? Try google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Some people in Edinburg and McAllen got 'brand new' IP addresses with their D3 service. Those IPs don't even have a reverse PTR record for example I know a guy with a 24.167.xx..xx IP address and the reverse PTR is 3(NXDOMAIN) which could indicate a routing issue.
Some mentioned a traceroute... that would be helpful. Try a different computer directly attached to the cable modem. |
