Gateway constantly underperforming

I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with my internet service over the past few weeks. Despite paying nearly $80/month, my gateway consistently delivers only 5% or 7% of the advertised plan speed (800 Mbps), as shown in the Xfinity app (screenshot attached).

I’ve had to reset the gateway 3 to 4 times per day, every single day, just to keep my connection somewhat usable. This is affecting my work, daily usage, and streaming capabilities. At this point, I feel like I’m managing your equipment more than I’m enjoying the service.

I’ve tried all the basic troubleshooting steps, including restarting, resetting, and checking for outages in the area; but nothing has improved. This level of service is simply not acceptable given the cost.

Please advise if:

  1. My equipment needs replacement.
  2. A technician can evaluate the connection quality.
  3. There’s a refund or compensation available for the severe underperformance.

user_7usx36 Thanks for reaching out to us here on Forums about your recent service issues. I would be happy to see what is causing the problem, and work towards getting it fixed for you! 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it
