Not getting the Speed I'm paying for

I am being told by the app there aren't any outages, and have gone through the connection trouble shoot guide (more on that later, its outdated, and sends you to links that straight up don't work because "wow the app is so good just use that!")

I'm paying for download speeds up to 1.1Gbs

I've run multiple speed tests and am getting on average 262mb/s, or 1/4 of what I'm supposedly paying for.

(I'm trying to upload screenshots for evidence and am getting errors on this website, this has to be a joke. This site can't possibly be THAT bad.)

I have gone through the troubleshooting tips and have:

Checked service interruption: No.

No recent changes in service. If there are, I didn't authorize it, that's a separate problem.

Equipment is brand new and meets baseline minimum requirements.

Modem / Gateway is likewise brand new, was sent to me 3 months ago. If its reached End of Life that's a wild choice on your part.

I have reset my equipment and router.

Lights on modem are fine.

I am not touching any cabling, I rent this place, I'm not starting to dig into the wall.

No outages on the App, but it admits its bad connectivity.

Speed test showing the difference in speed. Had to use google since, as screenshotted above, the xfinity app's speed test does not work.

Eric_H1 Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums and taking the time to share all of this. I can understand how frustrating this experience must be, especially when you’ve already done so much troubleshooting on your end. Paying for speeds up to 1.1 Gbps and consistently seeing much lower results is not what anyone expects, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

I appreciate you walking through the steps you’ve already completed, and it’s clear you’ve been very thorough. At this point, we’d like to take a closer look at your account, equipment, and signal levels to see what may be impacting your speeds and help get things back on track. Please send us a direct message with your full name and service address to get started.
