Possible Backhaul Issues? - Maryland (North Central)

UPDATED - Again Just wanted to get a sanity check from fellow users here... Have the trashcan and confirmed I have latest fw, and decent signal with both B66/N41 connected... I know there were issues up and down the East Coast yesterday but it seemed to clear up by the evening but today I'm pegging out around 8-10 Mbps down and around 2-3 up... Normal is anywhere around 75-150 Mbps down and 25-30 Mbps up. Latency is solid under 30ms with about 1-2 ms jitter. Is anyone else seeing similar performance? Network Engineer by trade so feel free to throw any detailed suggestions my way. Thanks in advance!

Update:. Thanks to u/dry-oracle it seems like we MIGHT have a pseudo workaround... Looks like there might be route/peer issues but enabling VPN at least in my case seemed to alleviate some symptoms. Can anyone else confirm/deny if this is the case in other locations?

Update to the update: It looks like we were looking in the right direction. Thanks to u/seibv-17 reaching out TMO have confirmed they are working on backend issues.

Update to the updated update: As of 7am it looks like things were worked out overnight... Steady sub 20ms ping and 100-130 Mbps down and around 20 Mbps up. Thanks to all who contributed let's hope it stays stable.

Update number 4: get home and things are back to the way they were yesterday. Luckily VPN still helps and oddly some things like YouTube work decent but any type of download or speed test caps out around 1 Mbps down.
