Upload speed problems

My internet download speed is 1 gig. Previously my upload speed was 75 Mbps. 3 weeks ago I received an email congratulating me for being such a good customer and that I was going to be getting a free upgrade of my upload speed to 150 Mbps. My account shows that upload speed should be 150Mbps but however I was still getting 75 so I had Rebooted the modem twice and there was no change. Then I tried to restart using the Xfinity app and ever since then I am getting 50 Mbps. After many calls they told me to swap the modem which I did two days ago to an xb8. But still getting 50 Mbps upload speed. Good news is my cell phones are getting an extra 200 Mbps download speed. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I have the xb8 and have the same problem. I have two questions in the form about this specific issue. Customer service couldn't find a problem so they told me to go in and swap for the xb8 which I did it's been installed for 3 days and I'm still stuck at 50 Mbps instead of 150 MMbps.

I've tried to post this question twice and it didn't post. No idea why.. My Xfinity tier used to give me 25 Mbps for upload speeds. I have been upgraded twice for free to 75 Mbps. I received an email 3 weeks ago giving me another free upgrade to 150Mbps upload speeds. However the 150 never came through and when I tried to restart my modem using the Xfinity app it then move my upload speeds to 50 Mbps not 150. I have asked customer service a couple of times how to fix it they told me to get a new modem which I did (Xfinity XB8) but it still giving me only 50 Mbps. How do I fix this? Thank you

Hello user_0ih2332 thank you for taking the time to reach out and for your questions on the enhanced upload speeds. When talking with customer service previously, what troubleshooting steps were taken?

They ran some tests on their end. They did a restart on the modem. They had me do a hard reboot of the modem. They said my account was cleared for 150 Mbps but they couldn't figure out why it wasn't getting it so they told me to go in and get the new modem which I did. I went from an xb7 to an xb8. Upload speeds is still 50 Mbps but download speeds increased on my Samsung 23 plus and Samsung 24 plus phones from 700 Mbps to 950 Mbps. Which I guess is a good thing but still can't get upload speeds any faster.

@user_0ih2332 Can you log into Xfinity.com or the Xfinity app and check your plan to verify what it says your speeds are? Our only plan that currently has 150 Mbps upload is our Connect tier on Fiber properties (up to 150/150 Mbps). Thank you!

When I click on the square text bubble it just takes me back to the top of the threads list. If I click on the pencil it takes me to the search area.
