You're using a DOCSIS 3 modem so you'll stay on the DOCSIS 3 network regardless of which tier you are on. If a DOCSIS 3 modem locks onto the DOCSIS 1/1.1 network it notes that your modem is DOCSIS 3, from its' MAC address, and kicks it over to the DOCSIS 3 hardware.

256QAM is fine on the downstream and your SNR is ok for it so obviously the issue isn't showing up on the SNR. 256QAM is possible on upstream but not aware of any operator that uses it due to its' touchiness to plant conditions.
