Speed low from 7-12

Hey guys I've been using embarq for more than a year now never had such problems 3 days ago I started pinging high on game servers (cod4) the same thing happened the day after. So I thought I might have a virus/spyware on my computer using my bandwidth I decided to format my computer and reinstall windows but seems like it didn't work and the problem is with the isp. I ran a speed test and it came out to 2.01 mbps I've subscribed to 3.0mbps and never before have I fallen below 2.9-8mbps in speed tests. I ran the test again during 12:15 am and my speed was 2.9 mbps.
I'm not on wireless and its definitely the isp. When I chatted with a tech support online she said 2.01 is in the range and seems normal????? I know its not and the speed tests show its not either.

What should I do?
usually I ping 79-81 on chi servers now my ping fluctuates from 80-140 it keeps jumping up and down.

Please help.

We had major troubles Friday as well. I believe maybe the routing has changed because my latency has been much higher and speeds lower. From what I can understand it's still a work in progress with the initial fail so hopefully it'll be resolved back to the normal soon

Why don't you post some tracert and speedtest results, and maybe some modem stats, and I'm sure someone here will try and assist with your issues.
