So I have had xfinity for about 6 months now. My introductory rate of 39.99 (25d/5u) was ending so I was offered a new deal for 50 bucks keeping the same Internet speeds but just adding a cable box with some basic channels. I was like whatever sure. So they mailed the cable box to me but all I really do is use my game systems for Hulu or Netflix or vudu and I don't want to use the cable box. Everything was fine until about a week ago. Randomly my download speeds dropped to 3mb and my upload is still 5mb. My upload speed is faster? And what makes matters worse is there's always a drop when using wifi for a game system so that isn't even fast enough to stream shows or movies or play online. It's been like this for a week. Does anyone know if not using the cable box and just using the modem and router can negatively affect Internet speeds? If not, what is wrong? I didn't change anything and it has been working like a charm for over 6 months now.
