What can I do to speed up a Time Warner Lite internet connection w/o having to increase my bill?

It has been cleaned and updated. Also I have Fastest Fox add on, and updated Mozilla. i used Ccleaner, Superantispyware, Malware Bytes, PC Matic, Wisecare 365 free, and Advanced System Care 7.

What else can i do?

Nothing. With broadband you get what you pay for.

anything over 1.0 mbps internet is fast enough for the average user to watch movies and play games. so try this:

1. open http://www.speedtest.net, and run the speed test.
is your internet faster than 1.0 mbps download? If so, whats the ping? is it below 100 ms?
if so, you have great internet, and the real problem is that your PC is using too much internet.

Every program that we install will usually connect to the internet for updates, wait for data, or download items. Windows 8 is very guilty of this, so are java and adobe products.
So i recommend looking at whats installed on your pcs and disabling anything that might use internet bandwith. Torrent applications running in the background? windows set to update automatically?
install the add-on "adblock plus" for firefox. this blocks annoying adds that clog up the internet.

quick solution : download and install ubuntu linux or lubuntu. these are very streamlined operating systems that dont use much memory or bandwith. Web browsing on them vs using windows 7 or 8 is superior. almost 2x as fast.

There's nothing you can do. Assuming there isn't a hardware problem with their equipment, you're getting the speed you're paying for. If you want faster, you have to pay for it.
