Bitcoinqt full node - Moar bandwidth

Hello, I am running a full bitcoin node. Ports are open etc. Currently got 81 active connections to the bitcoin network.
However! - It is (at the moment) only using 87 KB/s. It seems to vary between 50-150 KB/s.
So heres the thing. I WANT it to use more bandwidth, I want to help the bitcoin network and use up more bandwidth. Unused bandwidth is wasted.

How do I go about doing this? Or does the network simply not need more bandwidth? Synching the wallet from scratch has always been painfully slow, so I would assume it could use some more.

Thanks in advance!
