DOCSIS 4.0 Coming

I wouldn't care about this if Comcast wasn't my only option. But 2025, that stinks.

@bdoyle42 - In the mean time see if you can get the "Mid-Split" upstream upgrade for faster upload speeds, as referenced in this article: https://www.xfinity.com/networkmanagement

as Comcast has been actively upgrading their HFC plants in preparations to the DOCSIS 4.0 deployments.

Hey @bdoyle42,

Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Community Forums support page. It is true that are teams are working tireless working on deploying new technologies to help evolve our network and delivery the best Internet speeds, the best experience possible, and more. We're building this infrastructure over time and neighborhood-by-neighborhood, so it can take quite some time before mass-market availability. You can read our initial article by visiting our 'Comcast Delivers Multi-Gig Symmetrical Speeds in The World's First DOCSIS 4.0 Deployment' press release. If there happens to be anything more we could assist you with, please let us know.

@kam518 - Actually it all depends on what Speed Tier of X-Class Internet service you select and if you choose to have X-500Mbps and above, the Xfinity will provide a D4 FDX capable Cable Modem, (You'll receive professional setup for speed tiers over 500 Mbps.) and as it's referenced in their fine print (...and Xfinity-provided equipment for X-500 and above tiers is currently not compatible with Storm Ready WiFi...)

What WiFi are they going to do? 6E or 7?

@kam518 - XB8 is 6E, so I guess 6E...

I was talking about when they do Docsis 4.0 modem and router, not the XB8.

@kam518​ - here you go: "Comcast unveiled the first gateway, which acts as a modem and router, that supports both its next-generation internet service, called DOCSIS 4.0, and Wi-Fi 7."

@need_symmetrical_asap  - Perhaps you should inquire from Xfinity, if your address could get Gigabit Pro x10 service, it's Fiber service with 10Gbps Symmetrical Metro Ethernet service with Juniper ACX2100 Metro Switch. Here is the Wiki link for your perusal.

@need_symmetrical_asap​ I asked about the mid-split upstream in my area, it’s not available in Buckley yet. My area will probably be last ones to get anything in Seattle area

Hi @kam518 Thanks for asking about our current speeds. I am happy to go over the current speeds being offered for your area. Can you please direct message me your first and last name along with your full service address so that I can assist you further?

I already know what speeds are being offered in my area. 1.2 Gigabit my current plan is the highest speed available and still no increase in upload speeds. I am in Buckley WA.

No speeds have been increased yet. When is the timeline to do construction and upgrades in Buckley WA?

Unfortunately kam518 there is no direct timeline. The best option would be to optimize and ensure you have your notifications turned on in your Xfinity profile. If you begin to see more frequently network upgrades coming to your local grid, it could be coming soon, but there is not a timeline that we are able to provide.
