Can you tell us if the speeds you are getting are on a wired or wireless connection.
Many cases I've noticed a big slow-down in wifi speeds the more congested the spectrum is. There are ways of working with it. Here's a decent guide: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/4-reasons-wi-fi-slow-fix/
The 3212 is a mature modem, doesn't normally need firmware updates this late in its lifecycle. More often speed issues are signal or wifi based.
grymwulf said:Great suggestions but I have looked into all of the things in the article already. I scan my wireless network frequently to make sure there is no channel overlaps. Like you, I am also a CCNA and not your average internet user. All other devices in my home that are on wireless were powered off or unplugged and I was the only one home at the time. This is just a problem with degraded service. I have been noticing it for several months. Sometimes it was due to outages in the area. It became a real problem yesterday when I was working from home and my Citrix session kept dropping. Makes it very difficult to get my work done.Can you tell us if the speeds you are getting are on a wired or wireless connection.

That definitely sounds suspicious here are a couple of questions that come to mind:
You are probably aware of the standard troubleshooting methods for these types of issues. Isolate each network/device transition and test pre/post. I'm very curious as to the signal levels at the network demarcation or at the modem..
