XFinith emails offer to Replace your Xfinity WiFi Gateway to experience faster speeds
Emails indicate recently completed upgrades to the Xfinity network in your neighborhood. Our AI-powered network check shows that your Xfinity WiFi Gateway is unable to deliver this new speed. Email suggests ordering an upgraded Gateway at no extra cost to get your new speeds.
However, I have to following and Xfinity reports that my modem is optimized for my plan.
Xfinity Advanced Gateway XB8 model CGM4981COM
Download Speed Up to 1000 Mbps
Upload Speed 100 Mbps
Is this upgrade really needed?
What Gateway model would replace my existing Gateway XB8 model CGM4981COM?

Hello user_178y9p! Thanks so much for reaching out to us for help with the recommended upgrade to the Xfinity gateway. I would love to check into the options for us to make sure you have the correct equipment. The XB8 gateway is the top option for many of our services, however there is also the XB10 which is currently eligible for customers with symmetrical upload and download speeds.
Did you receive any emails regarding upgrades that were being completed in the area? If it was for our FDX internet services it would be for a gateway upgrade to the XB10.
Can you please send us a direct message with your name and service address? I can dig into the email that was sent to help ensure the gateway exchange is needed.
