Cholla, thanks a lot for taking the time
Ok, something is working here. My upload got about 15-20 percent faster (it still varies) and my download is now at 90+ percent. Still trying to figure out how to get the screenshot of my cablenut settings in my post. Most of the areas are blank...(except for the ones you told me to fill in and a few others)
Will now try it with the other settings you provided.

I also ran the test you recommended:

but am not sure if you need me to post the results, but here are the basics
