It’s probably NOT the modem. It almost never is. They probably know what the issue is, and just can’t do anything about it, so they are blowing smoke up your ass. If you have extra speed, and are not getting it, it’s probably a configuration issue or congestion. For all you know, your node could have 400 people on it.
