xFi gateway added to account, not requested or authorized

Service changed to xFi Connect, when all I wanted was to have the Unlimited data service put back on my account, as it was as of 15 March 2024. Been a customer since May 2016, have always used my own modems and routers. Had a xb8 gateway and used it for two days, before returning it to the local store, where I'd picked it up. This was only at the insistence of a tech support agent that claimed my equipment wasn't getting 1200mbps, even after I explained that would be impossible, since the LAN ports on the router and the PC's ethernet port were limited to 1Gbps, resulting in speeds <950mbps. Logging in to my account on Xfinity website, selecting Internet, it very plainly and clearly shows that I can get Unlimted data service using my own modem. In trying to do that, a message appears, saying 'Temporarily unavailable'. I had been paying $110 a month for 1200/35 service plus the unlimited data service. Today, I was disconnected from a game I was playing and after checking my account, found that someone, at Xfinity, had removed my CM2000 Netgear modem and, in its place, put a Technicolor gateway on my account. I have NOT requested a gateway nor do I want one. I just want the unlimited data service, that the website says I can get, since nobody I've spoken to, speaks clear English, talks too rapidly and left me confused. The gentleman I spoke with half an hour ago, said he was going to escalate this unauthorized change, to security, which is a good thing, since I do NOT have any Xfinity equipment.

Hey there, user_u1aaq0! That certainly is not the experience we want for our customers. You can have unlimited data with your own modem, and our team get everything squared away with your account. Can you please send us a DM to get started?
