Upload Speed Increase - Enhanced Speed Market

I currently have the 'Connect More' plan (200d/10u) and require greater upload speed.

I have read that if I am in an 'Enhanced Speed Market' I can receive 200d/100u by using a supported modem.

How can I verify that my service is located in an enhanced speed market?

I am not seeing an option to do what their instructions outline. Can you show me a screen shot of where the direct message option is?

Can I have my account checked as well? I am in the same situation.

I would also like to know if I'm in the Enhanced Speed market. I already purchased a new, compatible modem (Hitron Technologies CODA56). However, shortly after, I came across the Reddit wiki that stated it's best to contact Comcast directly to find out if your address is in an upgraded area.

Friendly word of warning. Be very careful with upgrading to the CODA56. I know people have said they did it without issue but I just did it and have had nothing but issues with Xfinity support trying to get it to work correctly (cannot get it to support anything more than 5mbps upload)

@chunkeymonkey When you were working with the support team, did they verify the bootfile updated correctly on your modem?

I'm unable to find the DM icon as well.  How do I reach out to see if I'm in the Next Generation area?  I've received multiple emails saying if I switch my modem, I'll be able to increase my upload speeds with my current plan, but I have not been able to achieve higher speeds.  Thanks

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out. I apologize that we are unable to provide the Next Generation speeds due to the services not being available in your area. If there happens to be anything more we could assist you with, please do not hesitate to ask.
