Currently on Xfinity 75mbps plan and using an old Motorola / Arris 6121 modem (4x4 DOCSIS 3.0). I am getting about 50-62mbps download and 6-7mbps on upload. This is high enough speed that I don't care until recently when work from home started, with me and my wife on webex and kids on zoom, things are not always perfect and I'm wondering if it is my upload limit sometimes. DDWRT router (WRT160N) bandwidth monitor suggests that once in a while we have upload burst of 6mbps from my wife's laptop (company syncing documents), and I'm dropping webex audio from my microphone.
I know Comcast already "discontinued" my modem and when I signed up it was on the grandfather list. I am not planning to upgrade my plan as download is sufficient, but if I upgrade just the modem to 24x8 DOCSIS 3.0, will this help my upload or will this not really do much? Any experience here on the 75mbps plan using 24x8 modem?
Will going to ATT avoid bursty upload and cap everyone to a reasonable speed? I won't go fiber in my area if I go ATT, it would be the 24mpbs plan for $50 a month, about the same I am paying comcast right now.
