Streaming throttling fix?

So, I've now gone to a legacy Sprint store and talked with various agents on chat, and I keep getting redirected to scripts, with folks throwing solutions at the wall that I know won't work.

I have the Sprint Unlimited Plus business plan, which includes 1080p streaming (8 Mbps throttle). But since going TNX I've been throttled to 2.5 Mbps or less for video.

Who do I contact and how do I ask them to fix this? 'cuz it sounds like someone has gotten this fixed before?

Some of the other plans have been throttled, like the ED1500.  Fixes ultimately came, but it took several years iirc.  I moved on to the Sprint Max.  One of my hopes was I would get the billing transition sooner. Nope. 

Wonder if they are going after the static IP.  Likely work around is VPN, especially with a smaller more obscure service.  Rumor has been T-Mobile would start transitioning Sprint Billing customers in earnest next quarter  -- wait, isn't that always the promise?

I had T-Mobile contacts I hammered for months over this before they finally fixed all the consumer plans on Sprint billing. Unfortunately as far as executive support is aware, there are no more remaining streaming throttle issues. When you get moved to T-Mobile billing this will likely take care of itself, otherwise even if you try to push the issue it's likely to take many months of consistent pushing to get anything fixed.
