Eligible for faster upload speed?
I'm on the 1200 Mbps plan. Although I rarely achieve that rate - it's usually around 940 Mbps - I'm OK with that for downloads. But uploads are usually only in the 35-40 Mbps range, which is too slow for much of the work I do. Ideally, I'd like symmetrical 1 Gbps or something close, but even 200 Mbps download would be much better than what I get now.
It's my understanding that this limitation is related to the infrastructure in my area, but I haven't been able to get anyone from Xfinity to tell me if and when higher speeds will be available. I had a~12 hour outage yesterday that was characterized on Xfinity's service map as being caused by "network upgrades." Does that mean I'll be able to achieve better upload speed anytime soon?

How are you testing? Which gateway/modem are you using? If it's an XB7 or XB8, only only of the network ports is faster than 1 Gbe.
940 sounds suspiciously like a 1 Gbe connection is somewhere in the test chain.
