I have xfinity, and I am paying for 250mbps, but the most I could get was around 80mbps, and sometimes 100 on the download. Had a service call, and the tech told me that, even though I had 250 service, 80 mbps wasn't bad because it was wireless. I told him that I could get 250 at my son's home, so that didn't make sense. We have a MacBook pro retina, and a ipad pro, not exactly slow machines. He said that he would install another modem/router. I'm now averaging between 290/300.
