upload speeds 2 Mbps for 1 Gb plan
Why are my upload speeds capped at 2 Mbps when I've signed up for the 1 Gb plan?
I've tried contacting customer support many times. The automated AI keeps saying that my modem needs to be reset which I've done at least 5 times now. When I unplugged my modem and called, the AI put me on hold (for almost 30 minutes now -- I plugged in my modem 15 minutes ago).
I need to be able to upload large files for my docker images and so what am I supposed to do?
I'm thinking of cancelling the plan and going with another provider that has more sensible support. I've already spent hours over the last 2 days trying to contact anyone, someone.

The issue turned out to be my computer's ethernet port. When I purchased a USB-C to Ethernet adapter the issue was resolved.
Diagnostic steps (do them in order without skipping any steps):
- Test wireless first
- Bring your laptop as close to the cable router/box as possible and try to connect from there.
- If speeds are good then
- It's not the Xfinity service to your home or cable router/box
- It's not the wireless aspect of the cable router/box
- It's not the wireless aspect of your computer
- POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Try adding a wifi extender to extend the range of your wireless
- If speeds are bad then
- EITHER it's the wireless aspect of your computer
- OR it's the wireless aspect of the cable router/box
- OR it's the Xfinity service to your home / cable router/box
- Test wired next
- Bring your computer as close to the cable router/box as possible AND connect it directly to the cable router/box using an Ethernet cable
- If speeds are good then
- It's not the Xfinity service to your home / cable router/box
- It's not the wired aspect of the cable router/box
- It's not the wired aspect of your computer
- If speeds are bad then
- TRY connecting to the cable router/box using a different Ethernet cable (in case the one you were using is broken in some way)
- TRY attaching a USB to Ethernet adapter to your computer and attaching to the cable router/box using the adapter
- TRY connecting a different computer or a newer computer
- TRY getting Xfinity to help you (good luck)
- If wired and wireless works and speeds are still slow when connecting via your home's wired Ethernet ports
- TRY investigating whether it's the Ethernet wiring in your home
