Billing and Equipment Disconnect – Requesting Proper Gateway for 2Gbps Plan

I am writing because I am currently paying $113/month for Xfinity’s 2 Gbps internet service, but I am physically capped at 900 Mbps because Xfinity has failed to provide a modem capable of supporting the speeds I am paying for.

When I chatted with support, I was told I must upgrade to a more expensive plan ($130) just to receive the free upgraded modem that handles these speeds. I refuse to pay a higher monthly rate just to get the speeds I have already been faithfully paying for.

I would like to remain a customer, but I need an equipment swap processed for an XB8 Gateway (which has the necessary 2.5 Gbps port) sent to my address with the equipment fee waived/included. I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this bottleneck.

My serices address: [Edited: "Personal Information"]

Cobyngo94 Good morning! Thank you for your patience and for reaching out to our team here on our Xfinity Forums. I would love to help out and make sure that you have the correct equipment for your service. I'm sorry that your contact with us was ending with changing the account plan. That should not be needed to exchange the equipment, however we do not always have a free shipping option, but I am happy to help figure this out so that we can get your speeds working as they should.
I see that you send a direct message to us already. Please remember that sending unsolicited Direct Messages to an Official Employee (even to the Xfinity Support handle) or user of the Xfinity Community Forum, is a violation of Forum Guidelines.
I will reply to your direct message now so we can help out with the new equipment.
