DSL Speed dropping over time

I have noticed that my DSL speed has steadily been dropping since March, 2013. The download speed declined as follows: 2.63, 2.18, 2.07, 2.14. While not a large drop there is a trend that concerns me. This also happened about a year ago and was resolved and the problem was with Verizon and not my computer or router. I hope this can be straightened out by Verizon before my download speed bottoms out to below 1Mb/s.

Is the drop in speed holding steady 24/7 regardless of what day, or the the time of day? How is your modem's Transceiver Statistics looking? If you need help getting these, please tell us the make and model of your modem.

Thanks for the message. My router is Actiontec, model GT784MNV. I do the speed test through Google at different times of the day to different servers. All of the tests are done via ethernet cable and not wireless. The speed contiues to drop. Please let me know how to check out the router and I'll send you the data.
