Download speed is down to 20KB/sec

Comcast as well. Speedtest is 705Mbps download and 23Mbps upload. Dropbox is doing 10-40KB/s on both download/upload which is like 0.08-0.3Mbps?
Things tried and don't work:
- Bandwidth no limit
- Bandwidth limited to 70-90%
- Turning off Mac's firewall (Dropbox had connection permission anyway)
- Download fresh copy of dropbox/reinstall (Direct dl from dropbox website was going to take 3-20 hours for 250mb. Found a copy from another site and download finished in 5 seconds).
- Restarted computer
- Restarted/reset modem
- 2 different Macs, same issue. Both have no problem with any other sites/services
Also used dropbox for years, never had something like this happen till today.
I am having a similar issue, including downloads of the dropbox software when I attempted to do a re-install.
Chatted with support, they confirmed there is an issue on their end and engineers are working on a fix. Not sure of ETA.
