Being charged for more speed

I am only getting 900 mbps download speed when i'm paying for 1300 mbps. I can't get ahold of anyone through the chat and it's making me mad.

sdunphy95 Okay, thank you for update. Can you please share the model of modem you have? And if that speed is through Wi-Fi or hardwired?

sdunphy95 I appreciate you sharing. If it's an Xfinity modem, you can find the model of the bottom of your modem. Can you please also share, if you are getting this speed on all your devices, or specific ones?

Its the Xfinity Advanced Gateway (XB8) and its all devices. My desktop (hardwired), my old desktop (was hardwired), my phone (wireless) and they all get the same speed. I even tried removing all devices and i still get the same speed

Are you using the gateway's 2.5 Gb port (red dot or stripe)? The other 3 ports are only 1 Gb and will only run at 940 Mb or so. And is the device you are hardwired to capable of 2.5 Gb or higher?
