Provisioning/Throughput Issue – 2 Gbps Plan, XB8 Stuck at ~1.2 Gbps Down / 150–280 Mbps Up

Hello, I recently upgraded to the 2 Gbps / 200 Mbps plan. My modem is an XB8 (CM MAC [Edited: "Personal Information"]) with bootfile d11_v_cgm4981comims_genxmgig_c02.cm applied.

So far:

  • Field tech confirmed ~2.6 Gbps to the modem and replaced the drop line.

  • Backend shows >2 Gbps “Speed to Gateway.”

  • Direct 2.5 GbE wired tests from my PC remain capped at ~1.1–1.3 Gbps down / 150–280 Mbps up.

  • OFDM downstream power is low (around –4 dBmV), SNR 39–40 dB, upstream OFDMA locked.

  • Rebooted yesterday after bootfile update — no change.

Ticket [Edited: "Personal Information"] is already open, but the problem persists. This appears to be either a CMTS provisioning/service flow misconfiguration or an issue with DOCSIS profile assignment.

I would appreciate if this could be escalated to the Corporate Digital Care Team or engineering to verify the modem’s service flows, QoS settings, and CMTS profile for my account. I was told by support that the backend/network engineering team would provide regular updates via email or SMS after the bootfile change and line replacement. It’s now been over a day and a half with no updates received. Could someone please confirm whether those updates are actually being generated and where they’re going?

Thanks in advance for any assistance — I’d just like this corrected so the 2 Gbps service I’m paying for is fully delivered.

user_zn17v0 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums! I definitely understand wanting the speeds you signed up for. Just to confirm, is your Ethernet cable plugged into port 4 on the back of your modem? If not, please attempt to connect using that port since it is the 2.5 GB port on the XB8 modem. Let me know if that changes anything. If you don't get the correct speeds, I would recommend going ahead and attempting to send a provisioning signal to your modem with our amazing Xfinity app! If that still isn't giving you the right speeds after that step, let us know and we're happy to continue helping.
