IMHO, if you are using Comcast equipment, request to have a technician come to your house and take actual signal level measurements, this is how they found the problem at our house, we went through all of the resets and modem reports before I had the tech come out. The problem was actually big enough, they had to get a second tech out.
As for signal strength, their newest modems are not a good as the older modem, so I am in the process of moving the modem, just finished relocating some of the cable connections will move the modem in the next day or so.

Thank you for you techies out there. Turns out it is my house not Comcrap. I took my iPad into the room with the modern and I'm testing 290 mbps down. Same iPad in my office right next to my iMac that tests at 18 mbps shows 130 mbps. My new MacBook pro runs at 140 while sitting next to my iMac. Why would my iMac which is less than 2 yr old run so much slower? I'm using it on wifi which is how I tested the other devices. Thank you in advance.
