Right now my provider is At&t and haven't had a lot of problems since my family has switched to wireless.

Out where I live the only options are Comcast or At&t

Yes, there is. Buy a better plan. There's no real way for you to raise your download speed, that's all controlled by the provider.

Right now, I'm using Sky internet; an internet provider you should never EVER sign up for.

They slow down the internet deliberately between 5:15 PM and 11:15 PM. I can't even watch youtube videos during that time.

We're breaking free of that provider in a few days because they're doing it deliberately and even TOLD us that they had a right to do it, despite the fact that we pay premium.

Not that much actually. That company provides for everything in my country, from cell phone plans to cable. Since wre such a small country, it only has like 2 rivals. And they try to direct all the customers to their company, by offering large discounts for each service subscribed. My family has starhub cable, starhub internet, starhub telephone, starhub everything :O the more we get, the bigger the value. Monthly, it costs about 60ish Singapore dollars that's about US-$50 or UK £30

I tested at my school today, while there was heavy strain on the server (First five minutes of the first lesson) and I managed to get a download speed peaking at 32 MB/S and an upload of around 15 MB/S. Unfortunately my teacher made me close it before I could get a link or anything, so I don't know our ISP.

Your download speed is pretty good, however you upload (compared to your download) is ehh, however just looking at your upload is not all that bad at all.

What I mean is that there is such a vast difference in your Download vs Upload. Both are faster than mine.
