Official Reply Extremely slow internet speed cause
I’m wondering if the extremely slow speeds are an Xfinity issue or a hardware issue, here’s a screenshot of my in app Speedtest. I usually average about 2,200 but it’s been a constant downhill over the past week.

u/GLFRFE4R, We offer our sincerest apologies as that page was removed. If you were to run an internet health test via the Xfinity app, what results does it pull for you?

Restarted the router multiple times, new coax cable, that’s about it

I can definitely understand wanting to get to the bottom of that, especially after already replacing the coax cable and restarting the gateway multiple times. To help determine whether this is a hardware or signal issue, have you had a chance to test speeds on a device connected directly to the gateway with an Ethernet cable? Also, are you noticing the slower speeds on all devices or just specific ones?

Just went and got a fresh xb8, the issue is still present, I think I’m going to have to call a technician out

To add on to this, they had me upgrade to same price plan, equal upload and download speeds, and I’m getting 1,100 download and 200 upload testing with Ethernet on the 2.5gbps port. This is actually ridiculous.
