Speeds decrease over time?

Hello, I've been having a severe problem for the past few months.  I use Cox Cable, if anyone is familiar with it. I'm having incredibly slow download speeds, and the test results here are laughable.  The thing is, when I first plug in my modem, my tests come back at around 15 mpbs. So, Pretty good I'd say. However, over the course of 10 minutes it is reduced to less than 1 mpbs. This is the test I just took:

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Download Connection is:: 451 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 512 kB)

Download Speed is:: 55 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Main)

Test Time:: 2008/10/24 - 9:58pm

Bottom Line:: 8X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 18.62 sec

Tested from a 512 kB file and took 9.309 seconds to complete

Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 5.99 % of your hosts average (cox.net)

D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-QB186EK5T

User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 [!]

I'm not sure what to do, and when calling them they say they see nothing wrong on their side.  Is there anything that could cause a decrease over time? I've ran scans and checks on almost everything. I can't figure this out. Please help.

Thank you :D

Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and searched in safemode. I ran my antivirus, and spybot.  It didn't pick up anything. Is there any programs I should be using that are more reliable? I'm using Anti Vir for the anti virus. 

Also, after doing the scans speeds remained for awhile. But the next day, speeds were back down.  I don't understand :/

Is there anything else I can try?

That's the most recent one. The first one I got stalled at the third hop twice, and then went through. If that matters at all.
