Paying for 1000 Mbs and only getting around 28 Mbs download

I recently upgraded to the 1000 Mbs package Xfinity offers, but testing across numerous speed sites, including Xfinity's, I am averaging 28 Mbs download.  I have read all the forums online about hardware bottlenecks and I have had numerous internet providers (at lower speed packages) go to this computer before Xfinity and have had much much higher speeds, so I know it is not a hardware issue on my end.  I have called their tech support before and was just led in circles of what to try other than "buy the next faster package," which I finally gave up and did and still no change.

@user_zna53k Thank you for posting on our community forum so we can help you get the Xfinity internet speeds you pay for. I depend on my internet every day so I know it's important that you have a reliable connection. What is the make and model of your modem? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

I have the xfinity gateway that is supposed to allow for 1 Gps throughput.  I have reset modem, increased speed package, even changed MTU.  The past couple days we were up to 200 Mbs and now we are back to 3 Mbs.

have you also checked the automated troubleshooting steps through the Xfinity app? That would be my first step since it will run diagnostics to tell if there are any issues in the incoming signal that could be the cause, and recommend scheduling a technician if needed.
