Could it be a hardware limitation? I'm using a Hitron as well.

That's the issue I had. I was getting things like 55-80 DL/15-16 UL. Turns out an iPhone 6 and ipad mini (gen 1) can't handle my max theoretical DL speeds, but a 6S or newer gets the max. I'm guessing lots of hardware has 100DL/100UL specs. That's why the upload is hitting, but not the DL.

Most laptop cards can't even use 5GHz band. I have to use 2.4 GHz. Plus the card can't go over 100/100 DL/UL.
