Konog here
I stumbled onto your site looking for solutions to my cable modem which slowed down inexplicability. I first noticed a slow down while downloading files from email and then while playing online games with horrific lag.
I read through some "pre-post" tips and downloaded CableNut and SpyBot.
I ran SpyBot & SpySweeper and found nothing unusual and CableNut didnt make any sense, not yet anyway.
I ran the Download test and got results similiar to todays test:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Then I powered down my modem and rebooted and reran the Download test and WOW!!! I was off the charts at 7.1Mbps ( I wish I copied the results)
I logged back in and everyting was great, for a while, then I noticed a slow down and reran the Download test and I was back to 0.7 Mbps.
I tried powering down again but had no luck.
I run: Dell 4600
Win XP
Pentium 4 2.40 Ghz
1 GB RAM
No Firewall
Help!!!
