my home broadband connection, which is supposed to be asymmetric 1000/300, suddenly has become a symmetric 1000/1000. No notice from the ISP and their site still has them showing only an asymmetric offering. really hoping this is a permanent upgrade and not just some configuration issue on their end.

@Rib@fedi.rib.gay apparently some isps that provide services over multiple fibre network providers (for example cityfibre (which is symmetric) and openreach (which is asymmetric) in the uk) will advertise the same (asymmetric) speeds for both but not throttle upload over the symmetric provider (it's probably not this in your case though since you'd have to switch ont and you'd know about that)
