Sudden drop in up/down speeds
It seems my internet speeds have dropped the last 2 weeks all of a sudden. I'm through Cogeco cable, with an advertised speed of 16mbps down / 1mbps up. My usual speeds were always in the neighbourhood of 6000-10000 kb/s down and ALWAYS at least 930 kb/s up. 2 weeks ago it suddenly went to around 3600 kb/s down / 540 up (average) Here's a link to my top speed recorded over the last 2 weeks: Numion
I contacted the company and got a form response to do a bunch of malware scans, etc., and they came back with nothing much to report. I was wondering what else I could do troubleshooting-wise before I start yelling at my provider.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Those advertised speeds seem pretty high how much do you have to pay for that? Your new low speeds seem more like average cable users.
Have you recently made any changes to your home network (if you have one). Like adding a router or changing router settings?
If you haven't done anything at your end, the ISP must have downgraded your account, or added a new neighbourhood to their cable pipeline or something.
