What Firmware version is currently loaded?
How are speed testing? Wired or wireless?
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
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 then back ON.

Are you connected to the 2.4ghz, the 5ghz, or the wired?
2.4ghz is a much slower network and 70mpbs is more along the lines of what it can do.
the 5ghz is the faster wireless network.
But the fastest is going to be wired.
What wired speeds do you get?
