ISP capped my 30 Mbps connection to 700 Kbps – any way to bypass this?

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a really frustrating internet issue and hoping someone here has experience with this.

My original internet speed is 30 Mbps, but my ISP has put a hard limit on my connection and capped it to around 700 Kbps. even with speedtest it shows 4mb per second while, when I download any file or anything from playstore it maximum limit is only 700kb is clearly throttling, and it's making the connection practically unusable for anything beyond basic browsing.

Here's what I've tried so far:

· Restarted my router and modem

· Checked for any QoS or bandwidth limiting settings in my router

· Tested with a wired Ethernet connection (same result)

None of these worked. I suspect the ISP is using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to detect and throttle certain types of traffic, or they've applied a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) cap.

My main questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully bypassed this type of severe throttling (from 30 Mbps down to 700 Kbps)?

How long will Xiaomi 17 actually get security and OS updates?

I've heard the Xiaomi 17 series will get 6 years of updates until 2032 33. Is this for both security patches and major OS upgrades? Also, what's the expected schedule? Monthly, quarterly, or something else?

Does anyone have a link to the official Xiaomi policy? I want to make sure before I buy.

I accidentally poured salt water into my lead-acid battery – how bad is it?

I made a mistake and need some advice. I have a 12V 42Ah lead-acid battery (Alaska A60L) connected to my solar setup. I poured about 200ml of normal saline water (sodium chloride solution) into 2 of the cells.

When the solar started charging during the day, I noticed a strange smell – probably chlorine gas. About 8-12 hours later, I flushed the battery completely with normal water and rinsed it out. I checked the voltage with a multimeter and it’s showing 12V.

So my questions are:

  1. Does salt water damage the electrolyte instantly, or does it degrade over time?

  2. Is there any chance this battery is still safe to use?
