Anyone out there still using them? I was looking at their page today and saw they have a new device, the Anchor. It has a few more test features. All these credits are just piling up..

[Other] Xfinity cablem modems just started calling home to google ?
Hi,
newby to this forum. I like to think I'm a bit of a geek and I like my privacy. I also like to think my system is fairly well instrumented so a couple days ago when I saw part of the system reporting odd traffic to google, which I dont use, to the point of having it firewalled, I decided to peer deeper into this since I thought I must have left a security hole open somewhere. The packets in question happen very often, every few minutes which is what caught my attention. After putting sniffers of every interface I determined _none_ of this traffic was inside my firewall, it appeared to be at the cable modem (I said I was instrumented but I wont say here exactly how I came to this conclusion...). I did some tests to make sure this was not a quirk. I power cycled modem and the traffic came right back. I then forced the internet IP to change a couple times and the traffic came back again. The Google IP in question is fixed for me but appears to be probably geolocated based on of IPs in the block so I wont post it here but it is in this block that the call to google is headed.
NetRange: 74.125.0.0 - 74.125.255.255
CIDR: 74.125.0.0/16
NetName: GOOGLE
Since I log all traffic on the network I was able to determine when this first started to happen. It started Dec 14 right after the FCC votes to repeal net neutrality. I find that interesting. I am going to try the same monitoring on some other peoples cable connections and if I confirm what I suspect, well bad to be these guys. I wonder if googlespygate.com is available.
So first look says to me Xfinity turned on some direct logging from peoples cable modemds to google once the Net rules were repealed.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS XFINITY ?

[Speed] New MB8600, speeds cut in half
I just upgraded from an MB7420 to an MB8600 and saw my speeds go from ~250/30 to ~70/30 instantly. Everything looks provisioned correctly (d11_m_mb8600_extreme250_c01.cm). Below are the relevant mac addresses. Any ideas?
CM-MAC=00:40:36:4c:dd:b9;CMTS-MAC=28:52:61:28:bd:d2;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1;

[Price] Comcast Price Adjustments for Broward/Miami-Dade
Wasn't sure if this has already been posted, but in the most recent bill, Comcast is notifying Broward and Miami-Dade county customers of price adjustments effective January 2018. Of course there is an included letter to attempt to justify the increases.

[Plan] changing plans under contract
I'm in a two year contract and wan't to change my plan. I have a double play now with lots of channels that I don't watch and does not include HBO. I would prefer a lower double play plan that includes HBO. At first cost is only a little less, but I would get HBO. In a few months my second year goes up $20, so at that point the cost savings is more.
The question is, does changing plans trigger the penalty fee? The way I read the contract it's only charged if you cancel all service. I was wondering if anyone did this and what was the result.

Atlas probe messing up network
A few weeks ago I started having really odd issues on my network, couldn't figure out what was causing it... rebuilt my network from the ground up and everything seemed ok... but had my atlas probe unplugged still..
yesterday plugged it back in... everything seemed ok, until this morning... every time I have a system turn on... when it starts up it says no internet (yellow triangle on the network icon in the system tray in windows)
it then goes out and shows the normal icon but still no internet, about 3 minutes later the internet workes... this happens on ALL systems on my network, wired or wifi..
well tonight I looked at the ARP table when this happened and noticed this...
C:\Users\a34FASDaa.DESKTOP-Q0D2S95>arp -a Interface: 192.168.1.100 --- 0x2 Internet Address Physical Address Type 192.168.1.1 f8-1a-67-4d-51-cc dynamic 192.168.1.25 f0-9f-c2-15-e2-40 dynamic 192.168.1.30 00-11-32-48-7d-e5 dynamic 192.168.1.67 00-11-d9-57-6a-9f dynamic 192.168.1.125 f4-81-39-e3-1d-35 dynamic 192.168.1.252 ac-63-be-84-a6-a8 dynamic 192.168.1.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static 224.0.0.22 01-00-5e-00-00-16 static 224.0.0.251 01-00-5e-00-00-fb static 224.0.0.252 01-00-5e-00-00-fc static 239.255.255.250 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa static 255.255.255.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
Now 192.168.1.1 is my router (a microtik routerboard routeros device) but that isn't it's MAC address.... that's a TP-Link MAC... which happens to be the vendor of the atlas probe...
now after 3 minutes the internet starts to suddenly work and boom now the ARP table shows this
Interface: 192.168.1.100 --- 0x2 Internet Address Physical Address Type 192.168.1.1 e4-8d-8c-7e-46-92 dynamic 192.168.1.25 f0-9f-c2-15-e2-40 dynamic 192.168.1.30 00-11-32-48-7d-e5 dynamic 192.168.1.67 00-11-d9-57-6a-9f dynamic 192.168.1.125 f4-81-39-e3-1d-35 dynamic 192.168.1.252 ac-63-be-84-a6-a8 dynamic 192.168.1.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static 224.0.0.22 01-00-5e-00-00-16 static 224.0.0.251 01-00-5e-00-00-fb static 224.0.0.252 01-00-5e-00-00-fc static 239.255.255.250 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa static 255.255.255.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
Now the MAC address is CORRECT for the router......
what in the world is the atlas probe doing? anyone else see this? The probe is plugged directly into the router's onboard switch so it's as close to the internet as you can physically get.
What would cause the ARP table to report the wrong MAC for the router but just happen to be the atlas probe's MAC then later change to the correct one within 3 minutes on its own? this is just odd... and it this started about a month ago. did they push a new code base for the probes?
I'll add that when I have no internet on these systems, I still have full LAN access (because its not routed through the router) and I can get into my router via Winbox (microtik router management UI) and from there I can access the internet fine, so the router itself can still see and talk to the internet, just things on the LAN can not until they get the right MAC for ARP somehow 3 minutes after system boot

I don't know if it's the bad routing but the final latency to the server is flucuating a lot also, anywhere from 60-190ms. Routing use to be normal and stay in WA. Any advice?

[Other] Huge amount of upstream traffic
Recently I noticed that my internet usage is double what it has been. And whats really strange is that most of the usage is upstream, not downstream and occurring in the middle of the night! What could possibly be going on? I have examined the system log of my router and there are all sorts of messages during these intensive upstream periods. I have no idea what it means. Can someone look at the log below and let me know if it provides a clue? Thanks

Motorola MB8600 Speed loss
I've read many reports of significant spead loss below the paid speeds. However, renting a modem from Comcast on a BlastPro plan I've been receiving 245/12 on most speedtests. As soon as I switched to the MB8600 I max out around 205/12. Given, the BlastPro plan is 200/10. But... why should I lose speeds between modems?
To note - my friend just got an MB8600 as well and he was able to get speeds up to 245/12. Is there any tweaking/configuration suggested or do I just need to RMA for another unit?
Attachments for my modem's configs/specs.
Thanks!

Thought the modem was going bonkers, then saw in the event log it was receiving a SW update file. Just finished updating to the following.
Firmware Name: TS0901103M2Y_071817_MODEL_7_8_PC20_CT
Firmware Build Time: Tue Jul 18 07:26:17 EDT 2017
You guys know where I can find release notes about the update possibly? This is not a rental modem. Didn't think comcast updated non rentals.

[Connectivity] Connection drops two to three times per week
Happy Holiday! I'm hoping someone has time to grant a Christmas wish this year and finally solve our internet woes!
1.) Belvidere, IL
2.) Our connection has been inconsistent for years. Finally trying to fix the issue. Switched to Netgear CM500V modem and an Orbi WiFi router. A brief modem restart always fixes the issues. Multiple techs have come out to no help.
3.) Netgear CM500V modem -Firmware v1.01.07
4.) Speedtest
DOWNLOAD SPEED
119.76 Mbps
UPLOAD SPEED
12.06 Mbps
5.)
Reviewing router logs:
Their seems to be some consistency. After this message, the signal is not functional. I added comments after the *, all other lines are directly from the logs.

[Activate] Comcast Xfinity Refusal to Activate SB6141
Comcast's modem activation system and several reps would not activate my perfectly good modem. They gave a nonsense story about it being active on another account. After several days and many calls to tech support they apparently caved and activated it (without letting me know). I found someone who had a similar experience http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30122375-Equip-Discussion-about-Comcast-EndOfLife-EOL-yes-or-no-Modems. Has anyone else been given the runaround like this?

[Other] Xfinity cablem modems just started calling home to google ?
Hi,
newby to this forum. I like to think I'm a bit of a geek and I like my privacy. I also like to think my system is fairly well instrumented so a couple days ago when I saw part of the system reporting odd traffic to google, which I dont use, to the point of having it firewalled, I decided to peer deeper into this since I thought I must have left a security hole open somewhere. The packets in question happen very often, every few minutes which is what caught my attention. After putting sniffers of every interface I determined _none_ of this traffic was inside my firewall, it appeared to be at the cable modem (I said I was instrumented but I wont say here exactly how I came to this conclusion...). I did some tests to make sure this was not a quirk. I power cycled modem and the traffic came right back. I then forced the internet IP to change a couple times and the traffic came back again. The Google IP in question is fixed for me but appears to be probably geolocated based on of IPs in the block so I wont post it here but it is in this block that the call to google is headed.
NetRange: 74.125.0.0 - 74.125.255.255
CIDR: 74.125.0.0/16
NetName: GOOGLE
Since I log all traffic on the network I was able to determine when this first started to happen. It started Dec 14 right after the FCC votes to repeal net neutrality. I find that interesting. I am going to try the same monitoring on some other peoples cable connections and if I confirm what I suspect, well bad to be these guys. I wonder if googlespygate.com is available.
So first look says to me Xfinity turned on some direct logging from peoples cable modemds to google once the Net rules were repealed.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS XFINITY ?

Motorola 8600 low snr on OFDM & too many corrected errors
Currently I have 60/5(down/up). I'm getting advertise speeds. But should I be concerned with high corrected errors and low SNR on OFDM channel.

[Equip] MB8600 Incompatible ...
... with Blast out of Stuart, Florida. Lost sync every hour or so, logged hundreds of non-correctable packets per hour on all channels, and had excessive buffer bloat when directly connected to PC. Re-provisioned SB6141, all problems quit, and still have 130-Mbps down.

[Connectivity] recently moved checking to see if connections look good
Hi there, I've recently moved over the last week to a new house and before setting anything up of my own. There is the coax cable leading from outside into our basement which leads into a 4 output splitter that has coax cables leading back out of the house and into the 4 bedrooms upstairs. These coax cables were recently installed within the last half a year to a year ago by the owner and they go into the wall, where they're attached to a wall outlet (coax female to female adapter).
Now when I starting setting things up here I attached a 1 foot coax cable into the wall adapter which leads into our modem. Then a 1-2 foot Ethernet cable from modem to router, next I had to do some drilling so that 2 of our ethernet cables could go downstairs while the other 2 go through the ceiling into our attic. The two cables going downstairs drop through the corner of our living room, one cable stays there (used for our smart tv connection/xbox/ps4, switch it out when needed). The other one continues into the basement where it travels around a corner for a few feet before going into our sun room area that's near the living room (this is for our mothers work computer connection).
Before I continue with the rest of the cables.. I've read about making sure to keep ethernet cables a foot or two away from any other electrical wiring and uv lighting. The one that connects to my mothers work computer does get a bit close to another cable, what I might be able to do instead if it's a major concern is pull the cable back into the living room and hide it within the corners under the carpet instead.
Now for the cables going into the attic, there's a bit of other electrical wires up there leading to ceiling lights, between the walls, etc. Right now I've tried to keep both away from any wires but they're still hidden under insulation that I lifted and fitted back. What I was thinking if it sounds like an issue is that I could get a few D hooks or J hooks and hang the ethernet cables up towards the roof of the attic instead, which would get them far away from the other wiring. One cable leads into another bedroom that's about 15-20 feet away and goes into my brothers gaming computer and the other cable goes into my bedroom from the attic, about 25-30 feet away.
Since explaining my setup is out of the way now, I have concern because now that we're almost finished moving everything over here giving us some time to relax a bit. I've noticed while our internet doesn't cut out or lose connection.. I'm noticing that my normal ping at times is acting a bit odd. The other night I was playing a game online and normally my ping to the server is avg around 70-80 but I noticed it jumped to 110-120 and stayed like that for a good 20-30mins or so, then to make sure it wasn't just the game servers ping.. in discord while in a chat channel my normal ping avg of 40 went upwards to 70-80 range. Taking it one step further I did a speed test to the normal Chicago comcast host I do tests with where I get a normal 15-17 ping and it had me at 30-34 ping instead, while downloads/uploads speeds seemed about how they normally are sitting at.
I'm just wondering if with my setup here at this new house if anything sounds off or odd and needs checked out? I also know that before while having more then one of us gaming before moving here we'd not have any ping spike moments even with both of us in voip and heavy gaming. Below I'll list our modem/router along with a few pictures of what I can take without going into the attic.. in less I need to do that D/J hook setup, then i'll take pictures of the end result for that.
Modem: netgear CM600
router: netgear WNDR4500v3
Ethernet cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3URY64/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ&psc=1
(using 2 75ft ones for the two going into attic, 1 30-35ft one leading to living room tv area, 1 50ft one to basement back into sun room area)

[Speed] Any body else seen this version of Comcast's speed claim?
With all the claims of doubling download speeds I've seen from Comcast this year, this is the closest to an honest one yet. They actually admit it only applies to "one of our popular plans" rather than the more sweeping generalizations I've seen and heard all year. Of course, still no mention that the rates will all be going up in January and that the roll-out in some markets still hasn't happened. Still, I got my Blast upped to 100 (120 provisioned) from 75 (90 provisioned) last week so I'm getting a higher speed for the same price, if only for 10 days.
I included the masthead of the site that served the ad for context - in Germany the government still frowns on claims that might mislead consumers. Anybody else notice this form of the ad from a U.S. hosted site?
P.S. Ignore the AT&T U-Verse tag - I'm really on Comcast. It's there for historical purposes.
