The AT&T tech found that the issue was not truly just the modem as that addition only brought speeds up marginally to about 28mbps.
So he went on a mission ( great tech), checked my line box on my house, no problem there, went back to the street box, no problem there, then back to the main area distribution hub which was only 1000ft away and there he found the issues. He was working on that for over 2 hours not sure exactly what he did but he did say signal strength was now up considerably.
After his work a new speed check revealed 81mbps.and all seems to be well so far.
