When/how do I get the new upload speeds?

Hi, I hope you can help. My account now says my upload speed is 200 Mbps (for about a month or more), but I only get the historical 40 Mbps. Our neighborhood was upgraded (per an email I got from Comcast) several months ago. I have a Netgear CM2050V modem, which is on the Comcast list of "Next Gen Speed Tier" modems and my understanding is customer owned modems on this list will get the new upload speeds:

https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2023.09.11%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.docx%20-%20vF.pdf

I noticed this week in the modem log my config file went to

d11_v_cm2050vims_gigabit_c02.cm, having formerly been  d11_v_cm2050vims_walledgarden.cm.

Yet I still don't get the improved speeds.

Is there any help here for how to get the improved speed, or is there a Comcast person here that can help? Thanks!

Hey there, @user_daw312! Thank you so much for reaching out to us here, and we certainly want to ensure you are enjoying the speeds as you are expecting. Have you attempted to fully power cycle your modem and if you have a separate router, do that at the same time? Please let us know if that helps refresh the signal to the modem for the Upload speeds.

Yes I have power cycled the modem and the router several times, left them off for 2 minutes, then powered on.

Hi there.  I have the exact same modem and the exact same problem.  My account says I'm supposed to get 200 Mbps upload speed but I'm still capped at around 40 Mbps.  What do I need to do to get the upload speed I'm supposed to get?

@EG there has been no resolution. Speeds are still a solid 40 mbps, the DM process just ended up with a support person saying that's all it supports right now even though my modem is on the Next Gen Speed Tier list I referenced in the first post. It's been a very fruitless exercise, and in stark contrast to the real world experiences on people in the Comcast forums on DSL Reports, which Comcast also fails to acknowledge. Lousy support imho.
