"Today Comcast contacted Xfinity internet customers in many areas to
inform them that they are making changes to their internet speeds."

Has Comcast contacted you yet?

"Here is the email that went out to affected Comcast Customers today"

Did you get the e-mail from Comcast?

You never mentioned which cable modem you have. Channel bonding is how
higher bandwidth is obtained. Does whatever you have provide enough
channels to bond together to up the speed?

Twice I've had to upgrade to newer cable modems (leased from Comcast,
not bought on my own to hope they are compatible) to get more channels
to cover higher bandwidth offered by Comcast. Whatever you have must
have sufficient downstream and upstream channels to achieve the
bandwidth that Comcast gives you.

When Comcast provisions the cable modem you have, they decide how many
channels get bonded for the service tier they provide. So, besides
reading news articles reporting something about Comcast, and repeatedly
rebooting your cable modem hoping Comcast will provision it to higher
bandwidths, have you actually called Comcast tech support to find out if
they are offering higher upstream bandwidth to you at no addition cost?
