What are you suggesting I unplug on the 'modem'? Let me describe the setup better: If that does not fix your issue please reach back out to us here. If you see issues while connected via Ethernet then you may want to start with refreshing the modem by unplugging it for 20-30 seconds. So it's safe to say testing via the Xfinity speed test site via Ethernet cable is the best way to see how your services are performing. So the results are correct and accurate on the app, but the app won't always show the results in real time. These results are gathered directly from the mode itself with no third party equipment like a router, the app can be very accurate as well but the issue with it is that the data can be delayed due to the information being delivered over Wi-Fi. I would say the test results from the Xfinity speed test site would be the most accurate especially if you're connected to the internet via Ethernet cable. Don't worry we will get down to the bottom of this for you. The issue you're experiencing would certainly cause for me to scratch my head as well. Hi BlandGuy, thanks for reaching out to us here with this concern. So I have two issues in front of me: should I care? and, about which test - which is believable?

Just now I ran tests, in two open browser windows side by side and on the Gateway, starting one as soon as the prev finished: Still saw some variability, so he speculated 'maybe they're working on the system, but I can't know that' then we got three successive Gateway tests at plan speed, so he called it good and left.įifteen minutes later, I'm getting varying speeds again, and different results from xfinity vs speedtest. (Wow!) Tech verified signal at cable, saw the varying speed, swapped in another XB7. Tried, got yet higher number, some up near my 900 Mbps, a lot in 400 - 600.Īsked XFinity chat support, they had a tech here early the next morning. I tried testing at through the Gateway and got somewhat higher numbers (300 - 500 Mbps) than the modem was reporting (110 - 300) but still not plan speed. (No bad-connection *symptom* really, just bad test results)

(Upload stayed good, and ping showed some variability but stayed under 14 ms or so) So I did multiple restarts, etc - still variable.

Then a couple days ago the Gateway test started reporting download numbers all over from 100Mbps on up to plan speed. However, if you want to see what speeds you can get from a specific Xfinity server, simply click the Advanced Settings tab on the upper right-hand corner of the screen to access a drop-down menu of every Xfinity testing site available in America.Īfter the test is complete, you are provided with a link to share your test results, and Xfinity also lays out a few simple tips for increasing speeds ― including router placement, device capabilities, and updating operating systems and internet browsers.I got gigabit service and an XB7 in early Jan, and added an xFi Pod in late Jan - and it all seemed to be working pretty well in terms of performance, but since it's new service and equipment I kept testing it: the Gateway test built into the xFi app has been pretty stable at about 1200 Mbps, and my download speed to over my house ethernet (CAT 6, a couple in-line switches) was reliably showing 900+ Mbps, ping was around 10 ms, etc. If you just want to use the nearest testing site to your location, Xfinity will automatically choose it for you. There are also no on-screen ads cluttering the display and potentially slowing their test speeds.Īs for the test’s functionality, a big advantage for Xfinity is the way they let you select your own testing location.

Whether you use the site’s desktop version or the mobile version, this is one of the best-looking speed tests available today. One of our favorite aspects of the Xfinity speed test is the combination of sleek presentation and modern graphics.
