RCN Bandwidth Speed problems


I've noticed this as of late, where my bandwidth speeds are not what I pay extra for. I bumped up my cable internet connection to 5MB and it seems RCN is only providing 1/5 of that speed. The weird thing is this. If I perform a full power cycle of the modem then check the speed it shows around 5MB but give it two mins and the results are back in the dumpster. I tried this with no other computer/laptop/gaming system/phone powered on. Also I have a secure network where no one is leeching free internet off my line. Above is my poor results of my last test.

I have sent a query message to RCN. I hope they can provide some answers soon!
