Just to have it right - you need fast upload (Home/Office -> Internet e.g. to push data to Web sites, the cloud, ...) and care less about download (Internet -> Home/Office e.g. multiple IPTV or video streams), correct?
These are (or were sometimes back in 2019) the offerings for Xfinity:
Download speed is always great, but the upload is on most plans pretty poor. They still expect people buying into business contracts (or the high-end plan) when they need higher upload speed ...
If you are working with the ISP rental CPE (Cable modem) I would expect they would send you an upgrade device if the new plan does exceed their hardware you have in place. No need to buy a Netger modem (nice business for the sales person of course).
Tell us what you get there (probably not the community section Orbi with the built-in Cable Modem) - both cable modem and Orbi. Using a Orbi router LAN connected computer, please run a speedtest and show your results vs. the Xfinity plan you pay for.
Note: For the symmetric 2000/2000 Mb/s you need a cable modem and a router supporting link aggregation (or a MultiGig device - don't know if there are any).
