Upgrade Modem from XB6 to XB8 or XB10

Hi,

I would like to upgrade my modem from XB6 to XB8 or XB10. I believe the current device limit my upload speed to less than 15 mbps. How would I do that?

Thanks.

I received and have been using this modem since I started using Xfinity in 2025. Basically, everytime I checked the upload speed never pass 20 Mbps threshold. I use 400 Mbps plan (with 150 Mbps for upload).
