Internet speeds faster on SP2?

First try updating the Firmware, also look at QoS settings, disable them and see if the SP3 improves....
Unless, your wireless router is IPS own, and they update some sort of firmware on your router. Otherwise, I don't understand how ISP has to do with it?
The only possible issue I can think of is: your SP3 has older wifi adapter driver where it used to throttle down the speed when SP3 is on battery. With power plug it, it would run wifi at max speed. You can do speed test with and without the power adapter plugin to verify it.
With my last SP3 I had assumed the wlan performance was somewhat lackluster... until the wireless died completely and I got a new unit. This one has blistering wlan throughput. In the same room as one of the two APs I have in the house I get almost 900 mbit, as reported by Windows. A floor above/below and it drops down to around 300 and change. No problems streaming 1080p mkvs with Kodi anywhere in the house. The old one struggled (and often paused to re-buffer) even with the AP in the next room.

It is possible there is some confusion with regard to terminology. I have a Comcast modem, that also happens to be a router, which I have no direct control over. But I run everything through my own router that I do have control over.
If you have a cable modem/router, you can usually do a reset yourself. Disconnect the data cable and the power cable. Wait 15-20 seconds, twist the data cable back on and power back up. Most of the tome that will work to solve problems with junk buildup on thew modem.
