X class internet and Docsis 4.0 with XB10
I noticed they have been doing work on the street. They put a new amplifier and nodes in my housing development and then put spooled more fiber up on 2 telephone poles on the entrances in our neighborhood last month. Last week a contractor was putting the fiber into the nodes. Does that mean we are getting X-class internet soon? This is in Buckley WA in the Seattle-Tacoma area.

Hi there, @kam518 Thank you for taking the time to reach out regarding the work that is being performed on your street! The X-Class service is fantastic, I have it where I live and it makes a world of difference. Xfinity will notify you via email, text message, and through updates in the Xfinity App as soon as network construction in your neighborhood is complete and X-Class speeds become available.

I have never received anything from Comcast when they are doing construction, just planned outage for routine maintenance. So far Comcast is a year and a half behind from what they told me when X class internet would be available.

Saw a comment of yours from a while back. Just thought you might appreciate some optimistic info. I am in the Gig Harbor WA area, just got symmetrical speeds up to a gig(ironic) offered. I had to sign up for the plan at my local Xfinity store/online(it offered me symmetrical speeds, and I actually "downgraded" from 1300 Mbps down 40 up to 300 symmetrical as I do some media work and upload a lot), then have them call tele-sales to order me the XB10 Modem(had been previously using an Arris S33 that I owned). Arrived 2 days later. Then had to schedule a tech visit to have them remove all coax filters and cable TV boxes in my house/garage. I now use the XB10 in bridge-mode with my own router, and have my router connected via ethernet to an Xi6 for TV and use Xfinity Stream on OTT boxes on the rest of my TVs, as opposed to having my XG1v4 & XG2v2 boxes run over coax. According to the tech, in order to have symmetrical speeds, there can only be internet on the coax in the house due to the frequency range they use to achieve it. Unsure if fiber is involved at any stage or just broader frequency coax.
