Really slow upload speeds

I currently had the business deluxe connection (150/20) and the uploads speeds never reach more than 2Mbps. Before I signed up for the contract, I was promised the numbers would be the lower limit for the actual speed I'd get during service. This has been consistent. At first I just chalked it off to new connection/intermittent issues. But it has been consistent across multiple devices. I even disconnected all devices and just tested one device exclusively. Download speeds are great and no problems there. But upload speeds are completely unacceptable.

 

Edit: The solution from Comcast_Phil seems to be getting a new modem, since the bootfile in what I have is not compatible with the business class connection. Getting one and will report results after that.

Got a modem from the list of comcast approved ones. This resolved the issue. Honestly, I am surprised; but glad it worked.

I'm having EXACTLY the same issue right now and getting nowhere with customer support. 

I've been on 3 service calls this week with no resolution.
The issue is about upload time. It has been consistently WORSE than before. 
Is there anyone out there who can help?
 
The madness of customer support:

Deborah: I believe I just spoke with you, and we reset your modem, are you still have slow speeds, have you done a speed test since the modem came back online?
You: yes, slow uplad as indicated
You: upload
Deborah: What is the download you are getting?
You: download isn't the issue
You: we ordered comcast business for upload speed
You: upload speed is WORSE than before.
Deborah: I would like to know what is your download speed please, I understand that is not what you are currently having an issue with.
You: 227
Deborah: I am checking to make sure you are on the correct package.
Deborah: Are you in the office or working from home?
You: home office
Deborah: I can open a ticket to have our escalation team look into it.
You: this is the third time this week and no progress is being made.
Deborah: Do you prefer email or phone?
Deborah: You've already had a ticket open for our tier 2 team?
You: yes, twice this week
You: this is the third time.
Deborah: What did they say to you.
You: nothing pertaining to the issue.
Deborah: When you test are you connected directly to the back of the modem?
You: yes
You: when he installed it, it was also very slow. when can we expect improvements?
You: I upload a lot of media for my work and this is the reason we got comcast business and upload speed is WORSE. is that clear? this is the problem.
Deborah: That is very clear, however 20 Mbps upload is really not sufficient for a lot of streaming and uploads. Deborah: We really are only sending out techs when the services are totally down for essential personnel at this time due to COVID 19. I apologize for the inconvenience.
You: we're not getting 20, we're getting 2
Deborah: I understand, but the modem is not offline.

Deborah: We are only sending techs out when the modem is totally offline at this time.

I've got the same issue. I am also a radiologist and essential personnel. 

 

For the past two months, I've been getting nothing above 2 Mpbs on uploads during business hours. Last month, I upgraded from a 100/10 plan to a 200/20 plan, swapped out the modem, and my networking hardware and still no joy. After 10 PM, I can consistently hit 24 Mbps upload without issue. I get full download speeds at all times. 

 

I've opened a ticket with your repair team who indicates that there is noise on a local node, "work in other nearby areas" and absolutely no ETA on resolution.  My ticket number is: CR902352919

 

I'd like to know what the heck I'm supposed to do. I'm a doc trying to read COVID and other urgent imaging studies on patients remotely, and your organization's lack of transparency is crippling my ability to do my job.

We are having this same issue now at our business location. Would love some help to ensure the upload speeds are what we are paying for.

I am currently suffering the worst Upstream issues I have ever encountered.

Upload speeds that go from 20Mbps to 0.08Mbps when under load on a Business Class service at a premium for over 10months, 5 modems, 10 technicians, 2 field service calls and help from Tier2 repair support since March

Texas Comcast management refuses to take ownership of the Problem.

The Problem is identified outside of the Office ... outside of closest pedestal, outside of closest node, and I can get no movement on getting a resolution to this service problem.

The service problem even presents itself when you remove the Office from the modem with all wifi off.

What needs to be done to get help with Quality of service issues when the Comcast Customer Service says we can help no further because upper management will not recognize this as a problem.

What needs to be done when the Comcast customer service rep suggest you contact the Better Business Bureau and the local Attorney General's office to get help with your problem.

"Core Values"

Comcast core values comprise “integrity, entrepreneurial spirit, respect, and giving back.” The culture of this company proves that it is a people-centered rather than a self-centered one. This is shown by the manner in which the company respects its customers and all stakeholders while delivering its services."

Where is the integrity in honoring the promise of reliable business class service and listening to your employees when they tell you the issue at a clients office is outside the office.

Comcast Where is your integrity to fix this?

12yr of loyalty to Business class service should count for something!
