[Edit]Now the Bandwidth crisis is over Check Out this Real Witness Voting Guide by @timcliff
[edit]Currently 15 out of our top 20 witnesses have switched to Softfork 19.1 :-) (10:13pm est 7\21 )[/edit]
We have the solution to our bandwidth problems. The problem is that the majority of the Top 20 Witnesses (the witnesses with the real power to change your experience) are NOT updated to the newest version which is supposed to alleviate our problems.

"Many complain about bandwidth issues but many did not vote for witness!Start voting for witness to ensure our longevity in this platform
In my recent post [The Case of the Bandwidth Bug]. I covered the Witnesses who stepped up for the bandwidth crisis, and were visable doing so on steemit.
What I chose to do is go to [Steemit - Vote for Witnesses here].
Where I voted for the witnesses that I could see were active on this issue.
In the post, [@ausbitbank/witness-node-updated] we are also made to understand that by going to [The Steemdb Witness Page], we are able to see which witnesses have updated to 19.1 (which will ideally solve our bandwidth issue).
Not sure why a witness would choose to not update. However, This made my voting easier. I go to the top 20 list, unvote anyone who isn't updated to 19.1, and vote for anyone in the top 20 who do have the updated version.
This is how voting works.
Thank you for all of the hard work to all of you who have been working on this issue! Please inform me if I missed mentioning anyone who has been a champion for the people this last few days.
