Max download speed at my Xfinity modem is less than 100 Mbps - My plan is for up to 600 Mbps.

My download speed has dropped from 500Mbps+ to less than 100Mbps at the modem.  I have done all possible troubleshooting on my end, including speed tests and resetting the modem.  I previously was getting 500Mbps+ download in accordance with my plan confirmed with Speedtest.net.

@EG​ Thanks for your suggestion.  After disconnecting my wifi router from the modem to eliminate it as a potential problem source, I plugged my PC directly into my Xfinity modem via ethernet and then power cycled the modem, the internet speed remains less than 100Mbps at the modem.  My plan is for up to 600Mbps.

Same issue here, for 12 hrs a day my internet connection is less than 100 Mbps down when I pay for 400 mbps, during those times it will drop internet connection constantly

Hello @ScruffyMonkey thank you for reaching out and sharing that you are having similar connection issues with speed and the service dropping out. If you have bypassed wireless connections / routers and are hardwired to the modem with a CAT5e or better ethernet cable and not using a VPN the trouble may be RF signal related to a connection issue with the wiring/splitters/amplifiers in or outside your home. I would love to help out and troubleshoot the intermittent/slow internet connection with you. I know it's a vital service and I want everyone to be working with the speed and reliable connection you should have. 

The link that @EG shared (Thanks @EG) Is extremely helpful since it goes over the hardwired connections and offers tips on troubleshooting the signal levels, physical connection/cable issues, security software, etc. It's a lot of information. I would be happy to walk you through the steps as well to help out with the process and get your connections back to where they should be. Send us a direct message with your name and service address. We will help out from there. 

Please send us "Xfinity Support" a direct message with your name and service address.
To send a direct message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, and select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live chat.

As an additional point of troubleshooting that you can try. Ask a rep to completely remove the modem from your account and to re-provision it from scratch. Also, ask them to confirm that the provisioning and the backend account data in their database is correct and complete and that the correct configuration / bootfile for your subscribed to speed tier is being pushed to the modem.
