Cable Internet speed problem

[zilla]

My connection is pretty damn fast most all of the time. But the past week or 2, it's been slowing down to less than dialup speeds pretty regularly. I can almost always fix the problem by shutting down my computer and unplugging the modem so that it resets itself. However, that's a pain in the ass, and beyond that I don't like restarting my computer that often from a wear and tear standpoint. Do I need to have my ISP replace my modem probably?

Thanks guys!

I had the same problem with my crappy FN-100 cable modem. After replacing it with a Cisco uBR900 my connection is pretty stable.
