You might have a business plan and/or possibly paying for a fixed IP address ?? Most home consumer internet from Xfinity (as best I can tell) have upload speeds capped significantly lower than the download speed.
BTW in my last post I thought I had their 1-Gigabit service when in fact I'm on their 800 Mbs internet (but achieving about 930 Mbs downloads).
You should be able to check your plan by logging into Xfinity.com. It's not the most intuitive website to navigate but poking around will get you to your online billing statement.
Just today I downgraded my plan to 500 Mbs, removed one cable TV box, renewed our Channel Lineup (no contract), and will supposedly save about $60. I was surprised to see that they lowered the price slightly on the exact channel lineup package we currently have so I re-selected that one online and got the lower price. It figures that Comcast would never lower the price for you automatically. They've done this in the past so you have to check every couple years or sooner.
Our total bill should drop from $261 to about $198.... according to what I saw online upon checkout. I'm not sure if that included every fee, tariff, tax, and others. We'll see in a couple complete billing cycles.
I'm off to return one cable box to Comcast.
