Ok so for about 2 months and suddenly about two months ago I have had intermittent internet connectivity issues. I game quite a bit and for no reason my ms shoots up to unplayable levels. This also has affected streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, etc.
I have contacted my ISP (Cox) and they ran a diagnostic and are saying that the connection to my modem is very slow and they were unable to even run the diagnostics. So they are blaming my modem. However, they did not even ask me to disconnect the router and plug the modem into my Desktop directly.
So my question is how can I determine if what they are saying is correct? Is my modem not working correctly or is it my router? How do I test this? Both my modem and router are less than two years old.
