I had 1-gigabit internet with Xfi Complete (for unlimited data) for a couple of years and was paying $115/month. I was tired of spending so much, so I called to decrease the plan or find any promotions. I got an upgrade to 2-gigabit with a 2-year contract for $88.
The 2-gigabit plan was not an option online.
Number I called: 1-800-934-6489
(I had to go through many menus to talk to a real person.)
Your mileage and availability may vary.
Note: I understand that I will not even be able to utilize 2-gigabit on most of my devices, but I plan to run some new CAT6 and get a 2.5Gb switch for my primary desktop.

Oh and it is 50 bucks a month. 😂
The more bandwidth in means the more that can be shared.

However I just put it in bridge mode and use my own stuff. Also, open up the modem case and disconnect the WiFi antennas, because there's no way to disable the WiFi even in bridge mode.
I've upgraded my home network to support 2.5Gbps
1. Comcast is absolutely horrible to deal with if you have issues or when you want to call to cancel because they hike the price 2x or more after the term ends.
2. What are people actually using 2 gig internet for? Netflix 4k stream requires 25 Mbps per instance so lets just round it up to 30 Mbps for good measure. 300 Mbps down will still support 10 simultaneous streams assuming 30 Mbps per stream. Like someone mentioned above the upload boost is nice, but if you have fiber in your area its usually symmetrical (for example 300 down/300 up). If you are backing stuff up to the cloud or sending out large files upload becomes a lot more important.

I got the 1GB, and the price was $65/mo (after $10 autopay discount) and good for 24 months. So it seems like it is worth a try if you're paying more than that
