RE: More computer related than audio related, but. . .

I usually just lurk here, sorry for the slow response. I've been running the 2.0 offering since December 2023. Your problem is the garbage 3rd party hardware from Comcast. Their docsis 3.1 modem is not made for the new offering or they sent you the wrong hardware, regardless of what you're being told by Comcast support. Even though I told them I would run my own hardware, they sent theirs and before I sent it back I tested it and had the same results you are getting.

Here is a list of approved hardware. If the link doesn't work, I've also included the URL. Sorry for being obtuse.

Hardware

In my general application, my house and user base (my family) I'm using the CODA56, rated at 2.3 Gbps which I'm getting at the router; Available on Amazon. The cost has gone up a bit but it's cheaper then the offerings from Netgear and Arris (good equipment but the Hitron is cheaper).

A couple of other random comments. I don't know your config, however, for wireless devices you are probably only seeing between 300 - 500 Mbps at the wireless device at best.

For the average user (email, video conferencing, streaming) 100 Mbps is fine. I'm an edge case, so I need everything I can get.

With Mac: IMacs 2019 have Gbps capabilities and run WIFI5. I'm aware the Mac Mini M1 and M2 having Gbps hardware and Wifi 6.

BTW, it's not that web sites can't send content out quicker, they can and in many cases do but are hindered by dumping their content on the general (web) network, the limiter is mostly based on quality of the networks, hops, locations and stuff.
