Xfinity 200mbps upload plan - Still getting 40mbps
So, right now my plan with Xfinity is 1200mbps down, 200 up. On speedtest.net, I average 1400mbps down, 41 up. I just upgraded my equipment (Netgear CM2050v modem and TP Link BE9300 router). I have a ethernet cable running from the 2.5g port on the router to a 10g card on my thunderbolt 3 expansion chassis which is connected to my iMac. Any suggestions on what I do? My equipment should be able to get those speeds and I even checked the list of compatible devices for those higher upload speeds before purchasing. I rebooted my modem a few times already.

The CM2050v had been approved for the new upload speeds, but a few months ago it was dropped from the list. See https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/faster-internet-speeds-now-available-until-you-backdated-my-modem/65978b4f2e4f0f284530df88?commentId=659a8be32e4f0f2845312956.
Realize that although Comcast calls some devices "Approved" and some "Recommended", for all but a few devices those designations only mean "approved/recommended for use with their Internet service", and not necessarily approved for the new upload speeds. See:
Also see the "All Compatible Devices" link near the bottom of https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices (at the moment it points to https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.03.14%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf).
The Reddit link also lists other requirements for faster uploads speeds. Comcast could make all of this much clearer, but they have chosen not to do so.
