Service speed availability

My service is currently 1g down/35m up.  

In the app, I now see plans which are 1g symmetric up/down.  Does that mean it is available in my neighborhood, or just a tease?   How can I find out for sure?

Thanks for your interest @Cookits! Availability of symmetrical speeds can vary by address, even within the same neighborhood. If you're seeing a 1 Gig symmetrical plan in the Xfinity app, that's a good sign, but it doesn't always confirm it's currently available at your specific service address. Can you let us know if you're seeing the plan as an available upgrade option in the app, or if it's only appearing in promotional materials? We'd be happy to take a closer look and help verify what's available for your location.

@XfinityJeniece​ thanks for getting back.  symmetric plans appear if I’m in the app and do Manage my Plan/Change Speed.  

somewhat confusingly, that page lists a symmetric 1g/1g as “my current” as well as the option to change to a 1g/1g plan.  Which makes me nervous to touch anything there.  

my current actual speed test shows 1g/35m.
