What can be done about ISP throttling these days
Anything at all, now that net neutrality is gone? Is my internet permanently gone?

try a tracert to googe.com to see where the slowdown starts
first few hops are router and modem
next are isp then internet backbone

start -> run/search -> cmd
tracert googe.com

Up to the first 5 are good. After that is lots of packet loss / timed out
In betweem 20 to 15ms.

if it gets to ......comcast.net servers with low ping its fine

try pingbombing the first ip thats outside your internet ip

if that stays low, call comcast support
have them send a tech out to check the cable

Im using the device my ISP gave me. Is there some advantage to buying my own router/modem? Problem is, I dont know much about networking or which companies to buy from

Well, usually, the "box" or "Modem" your ISP gives you is actually a Router and a Modem packaged as one unit. So you get the functionality of both but, usually, it lacks performance due to trying to do 2 things at once. I'm unfamilar with the ComCast units so I have no idea if their unit is actually decent or plain garbage. Like I said, the Spectrum unit I got was garbage.

In buying your own Router/Modem you are usually getting a higher performance unit. Think of it like buying a Dedicated Graphics card instead of using your On-Board one. Or to put it another way, buying a premium Art pen instead of a the ~$5 a pack ballpoints.

So that ISP unit of yours could be holding you back due to its hardware limit. Hence buying your own Router may be better for you. I bought one a TP-Link Router that is focused on WiFi at my local BestBuy, so hardware wise, it has up to a 500MB Wireless signal/strength and is capable of 1 GB Ethernet speeds.

'Course if your actual service is low or throttling you, your own equipment won't really matter lol. Though, depending on the Tech/Service they might actually help set up your own equipment. One of my friends had Charter and they offered to setup his own Modem/Router and waive the equipment fee since he is providing his own.

and comcast defaults to using their modem as a public wifi hotspot
log into your comcast account and disable their hotspot from your modem
reboot the rmodem, and you will not have a xfinity wifi ap

if you have a dedicated router, log into the modem and set it to modem mode instad of router
which will disable its wifi and routing, forcing it to be a dedicated modem

You can't do anything about it if they choose NOT to utilise it. Your best bet is to switch ISP.

what isp?

what is the bandwidth throttled to?

with most you can still play mmo or other games online while throttled
just downloading maps/updates will take a long time

Comcast (Theres only 2 isp's in america and theyre both ♥♥♥♥♥♥ monopolies)

Idk, but every time i try to use steam or play anything at all, it goes to 0.
Somehow youtube magically runs fine, so does Comcast servers, internet browsing, etc, but NEVER steam

Multiplayer games are near impossible to play. Not using wifi. Im also going through a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of trouble just trying to upload this post.

Nope that's just you...

Go into Steam > Settings > Downloads > try a different download server.

It should be noted that just because your speed goes to 0 when downloading a game doesnt 100% mean your ISP is being throttled, it can simply be an issue with the Download server as well.

It may be helpful if you can post speedtest.net results

I do believe it is common practice for Comcast to have a data cap though, at least in the past.

Have you tried power cycling your modem/router?

And does this only happen at certain hours? it could be a peak hours issue as well if your area's HUB is being overloaded.

How to Test if Your ISP is Throttling Your Internet Connection

Cell phone providers can legally throttle customers' Internet speeds to reduce congestion during peak hours or in densely populated cities; however, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has said that throttling may become illegal if companies limit their customers' Internet speeds in a “deceptive or unfair” fashion, ...

This is actually a very bad thing because many ISP's these days will even cut off your connection until you call in to support and "flag you" if they detect any kind of BitTorrent traffic on your "naked" internet line, even legitimate traffic for testing. Mine does with spectrum. So folks should be careful with making testing connections like that even to test throttling.

Comcast only even does that if you are in the top % of excessive users and constantly going over approx 2TB every month, on a regular basis.

Changing DNS servers in my ethernet properties didnt help

Again, simply try a different Steam Download Server in the Client Settings.
Then start you download and let it play out.
If you have left-over junk in your Steam folder:
\Steam\Steamapps\Temp (or Download)
Exit Steam Client and delete those 2 folders (Temp and Download)
Then re-launch Steam Client again and start the download all over again.

You are so full if it, don't tell me about BitTorrent, I have used BitTorrent since 2004.
