the problem is not with your modem the speed depends upon how far you live with the telephone exchange and how many joints are there are in your telephone line till the distribution box. As joints hamper the speeds drastically and check if there is some noise or disturbance in your dialtone if it is file a complaint as this also effect your internet speed.
