Xb10 Gateway availability

I currently have an xb8 gateway and was wondering if my area has rolled out the Xb10 gateways. The XFINITY store in Vernon Hills (closest to my home) said no. I live in Buffalo Grove, Il (zip is 60089).

I tried to do a direct support request but after logging into there was no “pencil and papers” icon (per the instructions) to initiate it.

Thanks!

Anon273199 The XB10 Gateway is available to X-Class Internet customers who add speed tiers of X-500 or above. These customers can opt for a shipped Getting Started kit for self-installation, allowing them to activate their service at their convenience. Existing X-Class customers will not be proactively contacted to swap their current equipment (XB8 and XD4) for the XB10 at this time. Pro installation is required for X-2Gig customers, while X-300 customers can receive a Getting Started kit from store inventory.

Hi there, I am having the same issue. I cannot get hold of anyone on the phone due to the automated service. I am an X-1200 Customer as well.

I am pretty sure I was sent a refurbished XB8 because the fan inside doesn't work, nor does the 6Gz wifi. This is my first modem I rent from XFinity, and I am really disappointed with the experience.

This morning, I had to install my old modem because I am having overheating issues with XB8, and it keeps rebooting. Can I please get some assistance getting this unit replaced?
