gigabit x2 download speed capped

Hello, I have had the Gigabit X2 upgrade for over a month, which should provide a download speed of 2000Mbps. However, I am still not getting the full 2000Mbps download speed.

I am using the Xfinity XB8 router on ethernet. When I run a speed test, my download speed initially shows that its capped around 1200Mbps, but then quickly drops to 300-400Mbps. The upload speed is consistent at 300Mbps.

I have tried resetting the router, and making sure there are no other devices interfering with the connection. Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue.

Could you please help me with this problem and ensure that I am receiving the full download speed I am paying for?
