Yep the upgrades kicked in today in Central, you may need to reboot the modem, I did.

@ritchea -- The September 24th date (today) for those in Florida has apprently kicked-in here in Cape Coral.  I just power cycled my gateway and I got the speed increase.  Extreme went from

250/20 to 300/20.  My main computer is on ethernet and download is actually hovering around

400 and upload is 25-26.

The infrastructure in Okeechobee is apparently behind-the times.  Maybe you can contact Comcast corporate and see if any improvement might be in the offing?

Our version of Blast was 100 Mbps. After a complete power cycle (unplugged modem from power source for one minute+ a few seconds, unplugged router, turned off computer; after modem came back up, plugged in router then turned pc back on), this is my result (no one was "using" the internet in the house) https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/8487a5bf-b582-42ac-9e6c-9c08928f0e1c

I can confirm that the speed upgrade is Live in Fort Myers, FL. Was rated for 60Mb/s but typically got around 70. I'm now rated at 100 and I'm getting about 120Mb/s via speedtest.net.

Can confirm the speed increase has taken place in the Atlanta area.  The 150/10 tier is now showing 238/14 via ethernet using Ookla Speedtest.

I'm in Metro Atlanta, on the 60/5 tier. I got the 100/5 email a few days ago, still don't see the new speed. The Xfinity My Account app still shows 60.

It shows 60 here too

Can report it is live in the Chicago area. I went from 60/5 (tested 72/6) to 100/5 (tests 120/6).

Got another email last night that my internet speed has been increased from 150 Mbps to 200Mbps. Nope. Complete recycling of equipment and the speedtest is the same as posted ealier. Of course, local verified that our area only gets 100Mbps on Blast, but when I went to the office to check on Center Ice, the agent said she didn't know if we would get any increase or not. She was wondering about that for her own internet and was hoping the techs (the only ones who had the "numbers") would clue her in. 

Just an FYI for this thread - while Comcast is implementing an across the board speed upgrade, remember that:

1. Not all modems will be able to accommodate increased speeds - an 8x4 (8 download channels x 4 upload channels) modem will bottleneck speeds over 170 Mbps, and a 4x4 modem will bottleneck over 120 Mbps. If you're not sure, go to https://mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com/ to see compatible hardware for your new speed tier. 
2. Not all local service areas will have the necessary hardware to handle increased speeds. Please consult your local XFINITY service area if you nave any questions. 

Thank you.

This is the info that needs to go to Comcast email system. It can be pretty frustrating when one receives an email stating:

We’ve increased your Internet download speed

I got the same thing, not in the future tense, but as if it already happened. Still says 60 instead of 100 on My Xfinity app and website.

We’ve increased your Internet download speed

What is your cable modem and router?

I have a txt msg that they increased download speed but did not tell me what to what speed.

I have already have a gigabit speed. so what I expect to get more speed?

I have no speed different after power cycle my modem and router.
