No upload speed change - Purchased Coda56 after xfinity email "Replace your internet equipment to enjoy faster upload speeds"

Email:

Faster internet speeds now available
 
Upgrade your internet equipment today!
 
Good news
You can now enjoy up to 5-10x faster upload speeds and smoother connections with your current Xfinity Internet package.
 
Easy next steps
Your internet equipment is unable to deliver these new speeds, but here’s a list of compatible devices to purchase:
 
• Hiltron Technologies CODA
• Hiltron Technologies CODA56
• NETGEAR CM3000
• NETGEAR CBR750
• ARRIS SURFboard G54

...

Swapped modem out for CODA56. 

Activated - rebooted as part of activation. 

Rebooted with phone app. 

Rebooted modem by removing power for 1-2 minutes.

Speed test before/after each show normal download speed. 

Upload speed unchanged in the 5-6 Mbps range.  5-10x should be 25 - 60.

Resolved.  

Confirmed with support dm the address is capable of faster speeds.  Legacy 400/5 plan had to be upgraded to 400/10 in the UI which comes with a 1 year service contract / cancel fee etc.  

Speed test ~20 minutes after plan change was 480 mbps / 120 mbps.

@Lord_peppe  - Please take a look at this Post, looks to be very similar to your issue. Additionally, this is a great Article on Reddit to review.

@Lord_peppe Did you get the speeds updated? The CODA56 has good performance from what I've seen with other customers.

@XfinityBenny​ No change in speed.  Do i need to do what user_noname linked to  and check firmware on the modem and see what channels the modem finds/has access to?


I recall checking channels once on my previous modem, but not sure how coda56 does it.  

Is it possible the upload speed email was sent to me, but it is not available in my neighborhood?  The reddit link above says Seattle.  I am in the same county as Seattle, but there are many cities in the county, so if the cities south of Seattle but still in King County are not on the high speed upload yet this might be premature.

I can always double-check for us @Lord_peppe. There are other factors that would affect availability, such as being on a "legacy" plan like Blast! Pro+ and Performance Select, for example, instead of the newly updated X1 tiers.

Thanks for the responses.

My plan says:

Performance Pro+ Plan

Download speeds: up to 400 Mbps

Upload speeds: up to 5 Mbps

So the upload speeds require a plan and equipment upgrade?  not just an equipment upgrade like the xfinity email suggested?

@Lord_peppe - Yes, all these eligibility requirements have to be met to get the "Next Gen Speed Tier"!

Customers will not receive faster upload speeds if they:

  • Do not reside in a Enhanced Speed market
  • Have Internet Essentials/Internet Essentials Plus or Prepaid Internet
  • Customer owned and managed (COAM) modems that are not the approved list at this time
  • Have an XB2 or XB3 Xfinity Gateway
  • Are on a Legacy speed tier* (examples include Blast! Pro+, Performance Select, etc. -- some exclusions apply)

*Some Legacy speed tiers are eligible and will be broken down per division
