The limit is entirely on the ISPs side so there is no way to increase the bandwidth from your end. As a crude analogy, think of it in terms of being a pipe. Even if you have a 5 inch pipe on your end, if the ISP only has a 1 inch pipe that's the limit. To increase the speed they would need to put in a larger pipe. (I told you it was crude)
