Upload speed is nonexistent

Hi I could really use some support from an Xfinity employee. I’ve called in many times and have only been told my equipment is the issue and not taken seriously. My upload speed is horrible. It can spike up to fantastic in moments most of the time it will spike and drop between 1.5-50 a second. Huge ranges and never in the same bracket for long. It makes gaming impossible and even something like uploading a photo to facebook takes several minutes at times. 

my plan speed is 300 down and 100up. I get no consistent pin and jitter numbers when I do speed tests it is all over the map. This has been happening for months. At least 6, I replaced my old equipment, ran new coax rg6 cable from the main in line all the way directly to the modem. No splitter or anything else between main feed into home and internet equipment. Even after replacing to the newest rated modem/router it has improved nothing. There is literally nothing else I can replace or improve in my home and every time I call in I’m told it’s my equipment and the tech will need to be in home. I’ve tried to simply request a fix and evaluation of the connection at the poles to the main home as the weather here in Pennsylvania is terrible in winter and the lines are fairly old. Simply put I’m told no. Many reason why but always just a no they’re part of a schedule maintenance and don’t get evaluation for an example of a reason I was given. Right now I can’t use my internet. Download is fine but I can’t rely on this anymore. I really don’t want to cancel service but I’m out of options and get nowhere when I call. I’ve been on the phone with support for over 3 hours in one go before. Many calls aside from that. Please help.

We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us here in our community, @user_eppiy7, about your internet concerns. I can see how this could be frustrating to deal with for one day, let alone 6 months. No worries. You have reached the right team for assistance. It sounds like you are in our Next Generation speeds area by the sounds of your uploads. Can you share your modem manufacturer and modem please? Have you changed out the splitters inside the home as well?

Hi there thank you so much for responding! I had an older modem and router when this issue first began and I replaced it to an arris G34 as recommended on Xfinitys site for the newest compatible device list. I ran new RG6 cable through my home to the new arris router modem combo and it connects right into the main coax feed into the home from the pole outside. There are no splitters in the home

@user_eppiy7 You're welcome! It's a pleasure to help. Your Arris G34 is definitely listed on the compatible modem list for our Next Generation areas. It sounds like the interior cabling is new without splitters, so your connection should be optimal. I want to take a look at your account to review the package, and dig a little deeper into the connection for you. Will you please send over your full name and complete service address by way of a Direct Message? We look forward to your message.

Do you mean either the Arris S34 or the G54? the G34 isn't an Arris model.

I’m 100% sure. I still have the box the arris G34 is very much a model. It has results on google and comes up under arris surfboard G34 directly linking to the item page.
