C7000V2 Upgraded Xfinity internet speed
I recently upgraded my Xfinity internet plan from 400 mbps to 600 mbps, however, I’m not getting a faster speed after the upgrade. I used to get around 200-250mbps download when I was in the 400 mbps...
its 1.3gig per second. But thats over a 3x3 antenna connection. And that's only link speed, not actual throughput speed.
A 1x1 device is only going to connect at 433mbps and a 2x2 device at 866mbps max. And again, thats the link speed. Actual throughput tends to be around 55-65% of link speed.
Thank you for the reply.
I will try using hardwire to test the speed. If I’m getting similar results or not closer to 600 mbps, can I assume that’s due to the limitation of my C7000V2 as you suggested?
I just got the xFi from Xfinity and will swap with my C7000V2 if things are not getting better.

The XB7/XB* might have a bit more performance as their wireless AX devices and almost 7-8 years newer. The question comes down to if your router is the bottleneck or the device you're testing on.
- I was using my old iPhone 8plus and my wife’s iPhone X and the newest iPad Pro, they all gave me similar results, and same results when I used my old MacBook Air
they should all see a little bump as the XB7/8 are significantly newer and have upgraded wireless and cpu. The AX devices will see a quite nice bump in speeds as well
