Yes: the current line speed is the capping. Try contacting them via chat or phone and ask for it to be corrected. It should match the IP Profile.
After it is corrected you may need to do a disconnect/connect in your router to pick up the new speed.

If you have any ad-blocking software or ghostery type add-ons, then the Chat window will not appear. You need to turn it off for that page to work.
