Internet Speed (120mbps) is different from my plan's speed(300mbps)

I recently got my modem from Xfinity and had a tech come out to install a SDU RFoG CPE to convert the fiber connection of the apartment complex into coax. Upon running internet speed tests I am getting around 120 mbps while my plan is for 300 mbps.

When I run "Test internet connection" on the Xfinity app it says that my connection is for 100 mbps.

I have tested using ethernet and WIFI and get around 120 mbps for both with no other applications running. I have also tried resetting my modem.

Good afternoon and happy Sunday @user_wevwo1, thank you for taking the time to reach out to our dedicated Communities team today regarding your connection issues. We're sorry to hear that you are only receiving speeds of 120Mbps even though you are subscribed to 300Mbps. We appreciate you trying to restart your modem as well. May I ask if you have tested on any other devices? Are you using a personal standalone router in addition to your modem?

I have tested the speeds on my phone, desktop, and laptop and they all get around 120 Mbps. I am using the Xfinity Gateway which I believe has a modem and router.

Thank you for confirming that you tested speeds on your phone, desktop and laptop @user_wevwo1, we appreciate it. Yes, the XFINITY gateway is a modem/router combo but some customers use a third party router in addition to their gateway so we just wanted to confirm if that was the case.

 

We'll be happy to take a closer look at your signal levels and troubleshoot further. If we can't resolve your speed issues remotely, we can schedule one of our expert technicians to take a look.
