Not Getting Full Upload Speed

I'm not sure what to do, I just signed up with Xfinity for the 1GB plan after entering my home address - I really was thrilled to see they had a plan that fit my needs really well. However, now that I've had it for a few days, I'm seeing issue, and experiencing disapointment. This is the speedtest I just ran. I'm fine with that download speed, but I'm absolutely displeased with the upload speed.

I had originally purchased my own modem and my own router. I also verified through XFinity that the modem I selected can handle the speeds I'm paying for. The modem is the Netgear Nighthawk CM2050V for reference. What am I doing wrong? The chat agent had me drive to an XFinity store to get their branded modem. I'm getting identical results unfortunately with the XFinity modem.

Hello @seane3, thank you for taking the time to leave a post. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing speed issues with your internet. When you run the speed test, are you wireless or hardwired directly to the modem? The coax that is connected to the modem is it connected to a splitter or directly connected to the coax outlet on the wall?

thanks for responding!

Ethernet hardwired directly to the modem/xfinity gateway. 

The coax is connected to the modem/xfinity gateway directly, connected from the coax outlet on the wall. No splitters.

@seane3, thanks for those details. What was the upload speed you were expecting? In most areas, with the Gigabit service, 35Mbps is standard unless you're in a location that is upgraded for enhanced speeds.
