Recently, my cable modem had died, it kept on sparking up (almost caught on fire) so we had to go and replace it. We got a smaller and newer model from the cable company , the Motorola SURFBoard SB5101. I soon began to notice my download speeds were extra slow with the new modem, before with the big bulky Cable Modem i had better download speeds but it was garbage and kept breaking down. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this?
(I can now notice 100-300kb differences in download speeds)
