Astound Broadband speed test

Astound's cable tiers commonly run from 300 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps download, with uploads typically 15–50 Mbps. Where Astound has built fibre (parts of its Texas, Pacific Northwest and East Coast footprint), plans are symmetrical, so upload should match download. A wired cable test at 85–100% of plan is normal; a 1.5 Gig plan needs a 2.5 GbE port to read above about 940 Mbps.

The brand changed to Astound, but the physical network at your address is the same one those companies built, so expect the same behaviour: a legacy cable area still has asymmetric upload and some evening congestion, while a fibre area is symmetrical and flat through the day. The test result, not the brand name, tells you which you're on.

Reboot the modem and router (unplug 30 seconds each), then test on a cable straight from the modem. If that reads near plan, the shortfall is Wi‑Fi: use the 5 GHz band and move the router into the open. If wired is also low, test at midday and again at 9 pm with the monitor on this page — a steady low means a line or provisioning issue to raise with Astound; an evening-only drop means node congestion.
