why are my internet speeds lower

I got an e-mail from Xfinity that they increased my internet speed for free. 

I have 1Gb service on an internal 10Gb network.  Xfinity over provisions so I have been getting 1.2Gb down and 20Mb up consistently for some time.

I did a Speedtest and my speeds increased to 1.3Gb down and 40Mb up.  I checked a few days later and my new increased speed is now slower than before on the download with the same new upload speed.  I am now getting mid 900Mb down and 40 Mb up.

It has now been weeks since the e-mail and I am still getting the slower download speed.  I am getting my rated package speed but it still disappoints me that they actually lowered my download speed from before.  I would rather have higher download speeds over the marginal increase in upload speeds.

@jcahow Welcome to our community forum! Thank you for reaching out so we can make sure you're able to take advantage of the free Internet speed upgrade :). What is the make and model of your modem? If you're using your own personal modem, please be sure it is listed here as a compatible device under the section "Next Gen Speed Tier".
