NETGEAR CM700 getting only 150Mbps download speed with Superfast service

I'm posting here since trying to contact Xfinity Support via Phone, Reddit, Twitter is not possible and my problem is ignored. To be honest, sometimes the canned answers and lack of attention is basically gaslighting. Tested using your own tool:

NETGEAR CM700 is certified for the speeds, from your own website:

Also, firmware upgrades are supposed to be made by Xfinity, as stated on the OEM official website:

Spent 1 hour with a "technician" from Xfinity and they managed to get things worse: 35mbps. Then they proceeded to tell me that I should contact NETGEAR. So, I had 400 mbps, and the modem worked fine, then I upgrade to 800mbps, and the speedtest starts reporting 150. After talking to a "technician", 35mbps. And the modem is to blame? A modem that was working fine, 400 mbps, but only magically started being an issue once I contacted Xfinity to get an upgrade?

I'm paying more to be treated like an idiot?

Hello @FL_LBrewer. I am sad to hear about your service issue you are having with your internet. It has been some time since you reach out. Are you still having issues, or were you able to get this resolved?

@XfinityAaron​ are you serious? I'm still having problems and tons of other customers are having the exact same problem:

What is the point of having customer service if you are going to ignore hard evidence from people that clearly have a technical background and are providing as much info as possible to you?
