If there is a simple affordable solution, say Open/DD-WRT distro based bridge that all you do is configure your up/down bandwidth and it applies Codel/fq-Codel/Cake, then all you need to do is drive up awareness. A good channel for awareness would be getting in contact with popular Twitch or YouTube gaming streamers. But I wouldn't put much effort into driving up awareness until there is a device that people can easily acquire, use, and afford. At first I was thinking of telling people to use *-WRT supporting routers, but changing the firmware on your router requires too much research, and many people care about bleeding edge features. You need something that works in tangent with whatever they are using.
If Comcast sells you 100/20 (I have no idea if this is a thing), you set your upstream on this box to 18 meg fq_codel, and then Comcast oversubscribes you so you only get 15 meg up part of the time, then you're still bloated by the modem. This is not a solution.
I don't think "buy $thing, install *WRT on it, configure it like this" is above most gamers, but I'm afraid we don't even have a working solution for someone with that kind of skillset.
