Going from Mid-split to symmetric?

My area had been on 1300/35 for a looong time. Last month they did a note split and finally upgraded our area to mid-split, and I jumped to the 2000/300 plan as soon as I could. (I asked a tech that was pulling fiber one weekend and he wasn't sure, but was expecting them to install FDX amps.)

I'm wondering if we might see Comcast make the 2000/2000 symmetric plan available to us. In my mind, they probably installed new FDX amps that are capable of symmetric speeds and are currently monitoring network and signal quality and, if they look good after some period of time, they'll make the symmetric plans available...but that's probably just wishful thinking.

Anyway, I'm just curious to see if this scenario has actually happened to anyone else and, if so, what the timeline for that was like. (In the end, it doesn't matter much, because FTTH is on the way to my area, probably sometime later this year, and I'm jumping to that as soon as I can.)

[FS][US-W][WA-SEA] Rack clean out: rack mount shelves, wall rack brackets - Free!

Getting rid of some stuff I'm no longer in need of:

* 4U vertical wall mount rack bracket

* 1U vertical wall mount bracket

* 2U short-depth swing-out bracket (I used it for a patch panel to have easy access to the back)

* 2x 1u short rack-mount shelf

* 2u medium-ish rack-mount shelf

* Middle-Atlantic 4u shelf (disassembled, and I can't find the hardware to reassemble it, so you'll need to source some stuff somewhere)

All free, just have to come get it. Take some or all - I just want it out of my house

Price: $0

Switching to 2 Gbps plan w/o deposit?

Hi,

Xfinity recently upgraded the network in my area and the 2000/300 plan is now available to me. However, when I try to upgrade myself, I'm being asked to pay an additional deposit and I don't understand why.

Can someone explain why I'm being asked for a deposit? Is it possible to upgrade without a deposit?

Also, I currently have an XB7. Do I need a newer model to get the 2000/300 speeds? If so, I have additional questions.

I will send a modmail with additional info.
