Xfinity only allows 35 Mbps upload, but my modem supports 800 Mbps up (plus 2.5 Gbps down). Why is Xfinity artificially capping my speeds?
As in the title. I have a modem, a Motorola MB8611, which can do 2.5 Gbps download and 800 Mbps upload. However, Xfinity says it only supports 35 Mbps, which is completely wrong, by a literal order of magnitude and then some - it literally supports over 20 times the speed Xfinity says it does, and 8

This would make sense... if the supported modems for 100 Mbps didn't have a fraction of the bandwidth mine does to begin with. They're DOCSIS 3.1, just like mine, and the stuff I see posted elsewhere mentions mid-split is the requirement, and the MB8

... Motorola MB8611 ... it literally supports over 20 times the speed Xfinity says it does ... Manufacture's speed specs are almost always higher than the speeds Comcast/Xfinity lists. The 8611 is not compatible with the "enhanced" upload speeds.
