Connection speed issues.

I have a surfboard 6141 that I've had for about a year.  My connection is terrible at the moment and it had just started on Sunday the 5th (5 days ago).  I have the latest firmware as well.  I had a tech come out this morning and he had checked all connections and such.  He switched out the modems with one of theirs and internet was back up and running.  I don't know what the issue is but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my modem other than the connection speed is terrible.

If your speed was fine when the tech hooked up a new modem, then the issue would seem to be your SB6141.

What is your connection speed? How are you connecting to the modem?

You would think so but then why would it just quit working?  That seems very strange to me when it was working just fine before with no issues at all.

5mb now, and it's a cable modem.

sorry my bad.  I will when I get home, had to go into work.  It was wired before and I wasn't getting anything, but I'll verify when I get home.  Thanks.  Oh, and btw, when I talked to the cox rep they said they couldn't see anything on my street.  Chris, I don't think it was just my equipment then.
