Paying for 1100mbps, Xfinity app shows 1300mbps, every single other resource is showing 650mbps at best.

PC is hardwired to a Pod, which is plugged 10 feet below the Gateway itself. When using PC or phone from any location in the house, the most I see is 650mbps according to fast.com. Steam downloads barely see 500. the Xfinity app though, of course, wants to tell me that everything is fine! So does th

It appears from the forum the XFINITY is well aware of this issue and has taken no steps to resolve the issue. None of the solutions offered will/have resolved this issue. My situation is even more unique because I transferred 2 lines/phones from Verizon. One line works properly, one line is a mess.
