Thanks for the reply guys. I think I may have figured it out. 4 days ago I decided to look at the settings in my Arris modem. The link aggregation setting was set to on. I turned it off and my speed hasn't dropped since. I'm hoping that was the issue and that it helps anyone else having the same issue with similar equipment.

Does the speed drop if you directly connect to the ISP modem to ensure it works as expected?
Doe other wired device experience the same thing?
How about wireless?
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute them back ON.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last Orib FW update?
