Devices needed to take advantage of 1200Mbps plan
I'm wondering if there are any devices that aren't the xfinity modem/router that takes advantage of this plan? I found one person that explained the setup with a 3.1 modem and a Dream Machine Pro, but not necessarily looking to go that route if there is other options available. The person that wrote that article was able to get 1444Mbps so pretty big jump from standard gigabit. Is this the only option or are there cheaper alternatives?

AIUI hanging a switch off a modem port will only make one of the switch ports active, unless you are able to subscribe to "Additional IP Addresses".
You might try reading some of @jlavaseur's posts. He claims to get 1400 Gbps (ex: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/wan-bonding-to-achieve-speeds-higher-than-940-mbps/6063b16ea12cff7d105aab60?commentId=6088ab13048e670ca85cfc93) by feeding the 2 outputs of a LAG-capable modem or even 2 of the ports of a Comcast gateway into an ASUS router that has dual WAN support.
Note that hanging a router off a gateway that is not in bridge mode creates a "double NAT" condition that has some drawbacks. See https://www.google.com/search?q="double+NAT".
