Hello and Welocome to TSF,
I don't believe you have a modem problem. There may be many reasons for a slow connection speed. Possible (most common) reasons are the connection speed that you are provided by verizon or Infected Operating System. Some OS files or registry entries might have been corrupted also.
First of all check your connection ( download and upload speeds) speed at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Then lets clean up basic stuff and scan your computer for malware.
-Install and run cleanup! (cleanup doesn't do any backups so make sure you dont have anything installed or anything important in your temp files)
-Install and run an ewido scan.
Let us know if you found out that the infection is severe.
Kindest Regards.
