I am using Optimum (only option I have). I dont know how to update modem association with account, I am guessing that's something the technician would have done?
i've never used optimum. it would take a technician to change the association but if the only thing changed was accounts, i'm inclined to think thats were the problems coming from.

everything showing looks great. Were you getting the full 200mbps speeds before switching accounts?
Are you sure they switched accounts? You don't say which provider you're going through but usually a modem has to be removed from an old account to become associate with a new account. Might be something to check on to see if they actually switched the modem to a new account and didn't just leave it running on the old account. Especially if everything worked fine prior to them switching it.

Yes that was it. After the previous 2 support folks tried to sell me inhouse tech support, the 3rd one right away asked for the MAC and it was the 1st thing he checked. Looks like it all depends on who you get on the other end.
