I'm wondering if anyone might be able to explain what happened here. I have cable internet service which was working fine. At some point, my connection speed dropped dramaticially (2.5-3m, as advertised) to about
400k. A consistent 400k with horrible ping times. I ran through the motions, recycled the modem, changed ethernet cables, changed ethernet adapters, tried the USB.. nothing.. i swapped out the modem (i own it), still nothing, I installed a clean copy of windows xp pro, still nothing. At some point after reinstalling windows and changing the modem (to a surfboard 4220) I connected to the internal page and did a "reset all defaults" and powercycled it, afterwhich and ever since, has been working just fine. Any thoughts as to what might have caused this?
