In practice, your Internet speeds will be less, as the transfer rate through the CM3000 Gigabit Ethernet port is limited to 2.5Gbps. The internet speeds may also be reduced by the volume of network traffic or your service plan. Maximum rate is derived from DOCSIS® 3.1 specifications and actual throughput will vary depending on your internet subscription with your provider.
