[Speed] Please help me achieve my provisioned speed

I got an e-mail that my Performance speed was doubled from 25 to 50 down. I reset my cable modem but still am seeing the same speedtest results (about 28 down) that I have always seen. How can I get my speeds up to 50Mb/sec down?

Thanks.

what sort of modem do you have? what sort of router do you have?

Sounds like they never pushed the new config file to your modem.

I have an Arris TM822G which is Docsis 3.0. I use an Apple Time Capsule as my router and the PC I'm doing my speed tests on is connected via ethernet.

@graysonf
Is there anything I can do to get the new config sent or do I just need to wait until Comcast pushes it? Thanks.

I would contact support and tell them that you have rebooted everything but the speed is the same.

the modem should be alright. i would think that the time capsule should be able to handle 50mbps worth of routing, but just for kicks try a computer plugged directly into the modem & see if the speeds are the same.

what graysonf See Profile said about not being provisioned correctly would be the next step to try.

Does the arris have a battery?
you may need to force a powercycle to get a new config, also updates don't always get completed if your siganls are poor, so show us a screenshot of the signals page.

signals look fine, try a full powercyle or call in and ask them to push the new config again.
Remember those mailings go out to a whole area at once, but the actually upgrades usually occur on CMTS card at a time, so some might see the upgrade before the notice and some maybe get the mailing a week or so before the upgrades really take effect.

I haven't had a chance to call yet but logging into my Comcast account shows my old cable modem in the internet equipment page. Is this why I'm not getting the update?

Calling will be key here.....

My parents had their old modem in their equipment page and still have it there and its been 2 years since it was replaced. I would say it's not indicative of the issue at hand but you should still bring it up when you call.
