Gig Speed - avg 100mbps

Recently upgraded to gig speed interent from 200 mbps.  Internet was performing very well (to the plan) and nearly reaching 200 on every device at all times.  Within an hour of upgrading, internet speeds dropped to on avg 100 mbps.  Upon investigation, my previous netgear router/modem combo device did not support gig speed but still supported 800+.  So, I purchased a new modem and new router to better support gig speed and faster (should I need it in the future).  

Upon installation, spoke with xfinity support to ensure device is configured properly on their end.  Was told, "you are all set up and you should see your new plan speed within an hour or so".  About a week and half later, 2 phone calls, 2 chats, and about 7 hours spent on the phone/chat still coming in around 100mbps.  Ticket reference number CR913340245, never received the 24 hour call back.

Oops, was multi-tasking a little too much!  Old: Netgear C7000 combo modem/router.  New: Netgear CM1200 modem, Netgear nighthawk AX5400 router.

Try calling 1-800-comcast and ask a rep to completely remove the modem from your account and to "re-provision" it from scratch. Also ask them to confirm that the provisioning and account data in their database is correct and complete and that the correct configuration / bootfile for your subscribed to speed tier is being pushed to the modem.

I did.  I was able to get 900+ when wired to modem, almost 300 when wired to router, and 100 on 5g wifi

O/k well that shows you where the bottleneck lies. Your modem is getting supplied your speeds from them.
