Paying for 900 mbps, only getting 200 mbps max.

I am currently signed up for the 900 mbps plan and I am only receiving 200 mbps max on both wifi and ethernet.  I have disconnected all my devices from the network, reset all the xfinity equipment, and then plugged only my computer straight into the modem/router unit using an ethernet cable; same results.  I am missing something?

Hello @user_b0c335 That sounds like a terribly slow speed to have with our 900 Mbps service. Since you have done all the hard work and isolated to a single device hardwired (Thank you!) and still seeing the slow speeds we would need to look at hardware and wiring. Are you using a CAT 6 ethernet cable? Is your computer compatible with 900+ Mbps speeds? Are you using a modem/router gateway devices leased from Xfinity? I can run a few checks to make sure the right service is being delivered to the modem and we can poke around from there to see what is causing the slow speeds.

I am using the Xfi Gateway with CAT7 cables and I have a motherboard with a gigabit compatible network port

Excellent! Thank you for confirming both items! With everything you have check and the issue ongoing, let's take a look at the modem and what speeds are being received. If you could please send me a direct message with your name and service address.
