You already have Performance tier?
Many of those on the website that say "for current customers", really mean customer with CATV, or phone service who want to add NEW HSI service, The prices usually don't apply to those who already have that level of service.
However, ExoticFish is right, if you call in sometimes (not always, be nice a thank them for looking) the CSR can find a similar deal that will offer you a promo price.

I'm a new customer to comcast.

I recently tried to open a HSI-only account with Comcast through their website.

I chose the option of renting one of their modems.

It didn't allow me to choose self-installation.

I decided at that point to weigh my options with AT&T.

I few weeks later, I decided to stick with Comcast and started to open the account online again. I figured I'll just pay the $35 to have the tech come out.

This time I changed my mind and decided to buy my own modem.

To my surprise, the site allowed me to choose the self-install option at this point.

I think since the company is leasing you the modem, they don't want you messing with it if you don't know what you're doing. If you buy your own modem then it's on you.

TL,DR: If you choose to buy your own modem, the website may allow you to self-install.

EDIT: Just reread your post and saw you're an existing customer with a modem.

Not sure if my previous post would help your situation sorry.

I would call them and speak to someone personally. Unless they need to give you a new DOCSIS 3.0 for some reason I don't see why they would need to send someone just to upgrade the speeds of your already existing internet.

I upgraded via live chat. The guy was an idiot »Can someone explain comcast customer support to me

Afterwards I posted in comcast direct and they were able to upgrade me from performance to blast without any problems.

What is your current tier? The only thing lower than performance is economy. Sounds to me like the compute thinks you are not a current customer. I never really saw any deals for people going from economy to performance tier.
