Internet speed did not change after upgrading package

I upgraded my internet package from extreme 400 down/20 up to extreme pro 800 down/20 up. When doing speed tests I am still getting the same speed as before the upgrade. (400-450 Mbps down) I am using a Motorola MB 8600 and it says it’s compatible with the new package. Ive tried connecting directly to the modem with the same results.  How do I find out if the modem has the right config?

Did you try restarting the MB8600? This will force it to pull the config again.

When I upgraded from 100/5 to 1000/35 recently, I was told they would send a reset command in ~5-10 minutes and I would not have to do anything. Nothing happened after ~15 minutes, so I got impatient and tried a modem restart. After restarting my MB8611, via the Xfinity account page, because I was curious if that would work, it got the new config, and new speeds.

Yes I’ve restarted multiple times.  Another discovery I found is on some other screenshots I see the config file named in the modem’s admin page.  But for me it’s blank. Not sure if this is normal.

I have exactly the same problem as you @deeepack. Have you been able to figure out a solution?
