next-generation Xfinity network

Crews were in our neighborhood today "upgrading" our network to the Next-Generation Xfinity Network. So much for improving our speeds! I went from 1gig download to 12mb download speed. Upload speeds did not change. The Chat rep said there was apparently an issue with our Xb8 gateway and wanted to send out a tech. That gateway is new and prior to the upgrade, we had no issues with speed. It is hard for me to understand how the issue could be anything other that from their work and don't see why a tech needs to come into our home. Can someone solve this problem remotely for me?

Are you from my area [Edited: Personal information]? I'd like to add that I am experiencing the same problem. Crews were out Thursday of last week (6/25/24) supposedly performing some upgrades, then again today. My download speeds are normally 950Mb/s, now down to 20Kb/s. My upload speeds are consistent (20+ MB/s) I can run a continuous ping to a Google server and every few seconds will get dropouts. This only started happening 6/25/24. Xfinity Assistant says "I don't see any problems with the signal to your home. Now let's check your modem." I've been through this about 4 times now. What is going on?!

I'm in the [Edited: Personal information]. It is frustrating but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be options other than continuing to push up the tech food chain. There are dispute resolution contacts at the HQ that can sometimes help. Society is now so dependent on internet access that there should be a desire to get it to the same point as other "utilities". My gateway is about 6 months old (latest model) and was a replacement after the last round of issues late last year.

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_z1vsng! Whenever your services are impacted by maintenance or an interruption, it is recommended to unplug your modem from the power for a full minute and then plug it back in. Have you had a chance to unplug the modem since the maintenance?
