New internet plan, very slow speeds
I just activated my plan 800 Mbps. A technician did come out and made sure the cables outside the building were connected (they were not).
I have the following equipment - should be plenty sufficient for the plan. Currently, I only see around 189 Mbps based on speedtest.net results and this is at 11pm local time. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Already tried restarting modem, router, and PC. Modem is connected using Xfinity-provided coaxial cable. Also, spent an hour with chat and they were unable to resolve this.

Determined the answer myself - the Modem needed to be reset! Held down the small reset button with a pen for a few seconds and restart Modem/Router.

This is how;
To send a "Peer to peer" / "Private chat message" message to Xfinity Support:
• Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon or https://comca.st/3yNGegR
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there
• - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list
• - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send it
See https://comca.st/3i4B6z4 for an example.
