Isp Comcast network issue

I am struggling to fix this issue, I have no idea what the problem could be so I am posting the issue here to see if I can get some help.

Recently got comcast Digital TV and Highspeed, took a while to hook up internet, modem wouldn't be recognized or connect when I used Ethernet cable, used 3 different cables just incase, used Usb cable and finally connected. Internet running subpar 128kb/s download rate. I tried hooking up a router to use multiple connections ( I have vontage) and send out a wireless signal) didn't work. I had a tipoff it might be the modem, so I exchanged it for a different one at local comcast. When I tried to hook it up it does not run on either ethernet and usb It wants me to create a new account but I have one so shouldn't I have a connection already cause I installed it on pc? It doesn't recognize my modem after I installed drivers but their site came up on internet explorer but I had a connection cause I could ping sites ex. google on cmd promt then I tried to see if I could get ethernet to run so I went to network connections and saw a LAN connection for where my ethernet was connected but I couldnt get on internet. I did something now I can't even pick up the comcast block page thing, it gives the infamous IE error page and my computer created a 2nd connection I guess for modem but it says limited or no connectivity and when I run the installer it sees the modem but no connection. It is all hooked up correctly and my tv still get's signal so what is wrong?

Whenever you change the modem on a Comcast account, they have to register the MAC address of the new modem, so it's essentually a "new" connection. Contact Comcast tech support and explain your situation, they should be able to take the MAC address from the modem label and enable your account.
