Probably DOCSIS 3, 4X. According to wikepedia, that modem should be able
to handle 152 Mbps downstream and 108 Mbps upstream.

It is a Surfboard 6121. A DOCSIS 3.0 from the docs. Should be able to do
172 Mbps download. That is over 3 times the speed of 50 Mbps that I am
suspose to be getting.

The same model I have. The wikipedia article actually has both numbers
(152 and 172). Apparently, the higher number includes overhead.

It must be something between the modem, router, and computer. I just got a
Win 10 computer and it will show 50 mbps downlink while another 2 computers
will only give 10 to 25 mbps plugged into the same eithernet cable. The old
and new computers both have a 3 Ghz processor and are almost identical in
most things such as memory and processor.

I used to have one laptop that wouldn't ever get full download speed
(IIRC it got 38M instead of the 50M the others got). The problem was
with WiFi. It was getting a 72.2M (802.11n) WiFi connection. I found a
way to double that and now get the full 50M.
