I think the the CM1200 has fallen off their list
With Comcast anything is possible… I think the the CM1200 has fallen off their list. I’ve been struggling to get connection back to where it was. While they say everything looks fine on their end and...
Ok all's good now... Tech came out and he replaced both splitters including one in the home center box, fixed a loose connection on the wall jack and replaced the outside fittings. I had picked up a CM2000 which I couldn't get swapped out so he was able to take care of that since he mentioned the CM1200 would not work with my speed tier. Everything is new and working again! YAY!
No more packet loss on the Xbox etc. So if you have the CM1200 and the Xfinity 1200MB tier apparently that won't work. CM2000 is good to go.

Definitely some serious upsell BS from the tech. The CM1200 will work fine with the Comcast network. It will have some throughput limits depending on the speed tier you subscribe to. Upload throughput will be limited to around 35 Mbps due to the standard network firmware Comcast has pushed. The download throughput will be limited to your output connection. With a single Ethernet connection, the limit will be 1 Mbps. With a dual Ethernet aggregate connection, the limit will be 2 Mbps. Having throughput limitations is a significant difference from would not work!
