I had cox top package offered at my house 300/30 and got a email this weekend about gig being available. So I talked to them and was told just need a 3.1 modem and they will switch and no extra charge or contract. So I was excited to get it setup...only to realize there gig service is 1gig down but only 35 upload....really cox? So I will be returning the modem and going with LUS for 1gx1g for less $ a month.
Also doing some speed test at the modem was all over the place. Sometimes 900s....700s...500s....200s. I was having them come out today to see why but decided I wasn’t keeping it anyway so why bother with them.

I've never seen 1 gig with Cox at my house. The most I've ever gotten coming into my Google WiFi is like 800. It's typically around 300/15.
Not sure, but I think the problem with upload speeds is that Cox is still running their signals through Coax, and not fiber. For some reason, they can send the faster signal, but can't receive it.
Eta: Cox did give me my last modem for free. I had it for maybe four years, and didn't pay a dime
