How to get 200 Mbps upload speed?
I was checking my account today and noticed that my upload speed changed to "up to 200 Mbps" and was wondering how I can actually get these speeds.

You need one of Comcast's newer rental gateways (XB6, XB7, XB8) or one of the few retail devices shown in the "Next Gen Speed Tier" group with an upload speed rating in the "All Compatible Devices" PDF linked below. Also see the following Reddit link, which lists the approved devices as well as other requirements for faster upload speeds. See:
Note that the "speedtest" link on the Reddit page is invalid. It points to "www.speedtest.xfinity.com", which does not exist. The correct address is https://speedtest.xfinity.com/.
Realize that although Comcast calls some devices "Approved" and some "Recommended", for all but a few devices those designations only mean "approved/recommended for use with their Internet service", and not necessarily approved for the new upload speeds.
Comcast could make all of this much clearer, but they have chosen not to do so.
