Enhanced Upload Speed

Hi,

I just bought an Arris S34 to replace my S33 modem so I can get the upgraded upload speeds. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I activated the new modem but the upload speed is the same. Thanks!

Turns out my specific local area hasn't been upgraded yet. So I'll need to wait until the upgrade hits my street. But at least I already have the modem ready to go.

Thanks.

Ah, I'm glad you were able to confirm that, @user_fq9ruo! Sorry to hear that your area hasn't been upgraded yet, though it sounds like you're prepared! Keep our subreddit Enhanced Speed Markets knowledge base in mind, too. That's typically where I guide customers for more information regarding eligibility, speeds, communication details, and more! Then our team remains here, awesome to work with because we'll always help however we can :)

user_fq9ruo Hey there! Thanks for posting on our Community forums for assistance. We can help! Sometimes the provisioning can take a minute. Have you tried rebooting the device manually or through the Xfinity App after activating it?

I tried rebooting from the app, and also manually restarting the modem. I did wait about 24 hours from that and tried both those steps again, but it still looks like my down speed is 176Mbps, and up is 41.2Mbps. I thought that with the S34 the upload speed should be much closer to the download speed.

I'm not sure why your speeds haven't increased yet, but I can confirm about 18 hours after they communicated out via announcement that speed tiers are going up a few days back, I power cycled my modem (powered off 1-2 minutes and then plugged back in) and it immediately picked up the new speeds.  I have 1gbps plan so my upload speeds speed tested 180mbps prior and 360mbps after restarting.

Maybe the allocated speed changes didn't get applied all at the same time in all locations?  I'd try again each day for a few days and see if it picks up.  If not, just call support and try to work through it.
