Slower Internet Speeds than what I am paying for

Paying for super fast up to 800Mbps internet and have never reached a speed over 100Mbps download and 24Mbps upload. I have been running speed tests over 6mo and all the same around 87Mbps. I removed any splitters and even installed a new cable from the drop outside the house straight to my Motorola MG8702 which is rated for these speeds and approved Xfinity device. I am testing through Ethernet connection to a Surface Pro (2 feet away). Testing wifi on my Cell phone, 5 feet from the router, and it was getting around the same or slower. Looking like Xfinity is throttling service? Also tested with Nord VPN (just set up couple days ago) and same results.

Hello, @eargsm1 we do not throttle speeds, so this is definitely an issue we want to resolve immediately for you. 

Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message:

1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon

3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)

4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

I have already contacted Xfinity and they did the standard reset signal, blah blah, and a technician is going to be here today to troubleshoot between 1-3pm EST. I will post the results when he is finished. Thanks

After the visit from the Technicians they added a ground block to the outside line coming in and also replaced that end connector.  They tested the line and now getting the correct signal and speed strength with their equipment and over 900Mbps. I tested my speed again and getting around 350Mbps with Wifi. Ethernet is still slow but I believe I was sent the wrong dock station that was supposed to have a 1Gig port. Only getting 100Mbps and that is a different version from what I purchased, so I ordered another replacement and will know tomorrow if it is the correct version and getting higher speeds. 

I also did not get the text message to rate the technicians for their help. Can that be sent again? I would like to give them high marks for their help and professionalism!
