set the modem to "bridge" if so and use/try a 3rd party router.

Another thing is it sounds like you're triggering something like a
policer that at a high mark "penalizes" you and reduces your cir
temporarily. Network Quality of Service boxes like Sandvine
deep-packet inspection (dpi) appliances were known to do this as a
policy (abuse), and most isp's have and/or use something like
them. This is almost defacto in 3g/4g cell networks.

<br>
No one will flat out admit to it really in a non-cell network that
"unlimited" bandwidth is advertised and perceived, but even Cox
had them installed and ready to turn on until the backlash against
Comcast for using Sandvine's stopped them.

For several weeks I've had a problem with my earthlink dsl
service.

Anytime I'm doing something that uses all or most of my

bandwidth, all data coming into or going out of my apartment
stops.
