So as everyone knows, most to all ISPs throttle our connections to save a buck or two every month, leaving us with barely any connection speed to work with. I've been struggling for nearly a year with ~10 down and ~3 up, and I finally decided enough was enough. I called Comcast support and complained for about 45 minutes that I wasn't utilizing the promised speeds, and within 30 minutes, (at no extra charge) my connection had been upgraded per se. I just thought I would share this idea to possibly help out others who are struggling with this problem. Here's a speedtest I did just a moment ago

I also want to point out that this idea was 100% inspired by someone who goes by the name of LeftyOX, a gaming commentator, streamer, and one of 4 hosts of a YouTube podcast called Painkiller Already (or PKA for short)
To thank him for all of his help, here is his newest video, you might enjoy his videos and subscribe! He's almost at 100k subs, let's help him reach this huge goal!

So are you saying that when you do a speed test it drops down to 10MB/s? Or when you download a file you can only get 10MB/s?

No, my connection used to be that slow, this is to help people who are having the problem I used to have. It is a simple suggestion on what they could do to have Comcast up their speeds.

It all depends on your ISP, your area, your cables and such.

Yeah, I kind of figured that, but there's no harm in trying. If it worked for me, it could possibly help someone else, so I thought I'd just post it for that reason.

I don't get it, move to an unlimited ISP? In the UK we have 2 (probably more) that are fully unlimited with no traffic management, Sky (available to over 90% of the country) and BT (available to everyone).
