New user, internet speed is very slow

I started the 300M internet service two days ago. Using the xFi gateway.

99% of the time, the speed is very slow, around 10Mbps. Only seen once or twice it goes up to ~50Mbps. Very frustrated.

Checked the pinned post on how to troubleshoot. Here is the signal levels. It looks to me the uncorrectable codewords is very high (after gateway restarted two minutes ago). And the upstream power level is high.

Anyone can help take a look?

Thanks.

The signal values posted are terrible. Network connection problems like this are often due to poor coax connections or damaged coax cable, usually in or near your home. Running the cable through a surge protector, a defective splitter, or too many splitters can cause signal problems as well. If there is an amplifier in the line make sure it's getting power. 

If you can't find the problem or you'd rather have Comcast take care of it and an employee does not respond to your message here, call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast, or use one of the options on https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us/. It's not likely they can fix the problem remotely. If not, insist they send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.

If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit (approx $100) unless you have their Service Protection Plan ( https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/service-protection-plan, closed to customers that don't already have it). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast rental device or anything outside your home you shouldn't be charged.
