Upgraded upload speed

I received a message that my upload speed has been upgraded. I tested it at 110mpbps with Xfinity modem. A few weeks later, I switched my modem to Arris SB8200 which is a supported modem for higher upload speed, but I am getting 24mbps now. 

Does Xfinity need to push an upgrade to the modem? It is listed as a supported modem, but I am not getting the same speed.

... Arris SB8200 ... supported modem for higher upload speed ...

As best I can tell, the SB8200 is not eligible for increased upload speeds. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast_Xfinity/wiki/knowledgebase/next-generation-internet/ and https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2023.11.22%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf (from the "All Compatible Devices" link near the bottom of https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices).

Thank you so much @BruceW for assisting with the information with @user_w08drg  . While the modem you have may be compatible for your download speeds for your account it is not compatible for the Next Gen upload speeds. After putting in your address and level of downloads at the link: https://mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com/ if you scroll down you will see an additional box with the title "All Compatible Devices" (including next generation speed tiers.) You would need to select this for the modems that are compatible devices for those upgraded upload speeds. I want to let you know that there are great benefits to using our Xfinity modem https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/why-rent-wireless-gateway.

This is ridiculous!  I have a surfboard S33 that is very capable of more that 12mbps upload speed but Verizon lies to their customers and say its not supported because they want you to rent from them.  They should be taken to court and fined for this ridiculous clam...
