Xfinity Internet Upload Speed Capped at 40 Mbps

Hello!

Like a handful of others, I am having issues with being capped at 40 Mbps upload despite being on the Gigabit X2 plan with a promised upload speed of 200+ Mbps and having fully compatible equipment (Arris S34) as listed on the Next Gen Equipment list. Is there a setting to be changed or another action that I need to take to get the speeds that I'm paying for?

Thanks!

First. Have you confirmed that your area has already upgraded for the new Next Gen / Mid Split speed tiers ?

Thank you for your answer!

I have not confirmed that - they recently started offering the Gigabit X2 plan in my area, so I had assumed that meant the upgrade was completed. How would I go about confirming that?

Thanks!

You should have received an E-mail stating so. I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) who are available to these boards. They will be able to check into this for you. You should get a reply here in your topic.

Also be advised that even if your area has already been upgraded, there may be a provisioning / speed configuration file / backend database issue. They can check into that as well. Good luck !

Unfortunately, the issue remains largely unresolved.

Xfinity Support confirmed that my area is upgraded for upload speeds up to 300 Mbps. They added a code to my account on their end and restarted my modem, which allowed me to see upload speeds up to 60 Mbps, so we broke through that 40 Mbps barrier. But all the troubleshooting suggestions after that have boiled down to reconfiguring the WiFi (renewing IPs, connecting directly to the modem) or resetting equipment (restarting every piece of equipment), and none of that did anything to help. So I remain at 60 Mbps upload.
