He would have had me run the modem directly to the computer rather than through router, I have a real rat's nest behind the monitor, so I'll try that tomorrow. I have a tentative appointment for a technician to come Tuesday to check out the modem. Now I'm wondering if maybe I could just exchange the modem.

I have the "high speed internet" plan on Mertocast and my speed test result on Speedtest.net was 16.6/1.5 and on speakeasy.net was 14.33/1.48.
While results will vary with overall internet loading and your location, your 5.78 download speed should be much better if you have the same plan.
Note that Metrocast also has a "high speed basic" plan that is rated at 4/.256 vs the "high speed internet" plan rated at 15/1. Now that is a real play on words.
