Slow/Unstable Internet Connection

[BigForest]

Hello,

I've been having internet connection issues for a few months now. Last time I contacted support I had a support ticket created on September 11th and when I went to check it the ticket had been closed and I have not been contacted by Verizon at all since it was created. The previous contact with support they said that the the modem that Verizon sent me had gone bad and charged my account for a new one that would fix the problem, and it did not.

Current speed test results:

The download speed finished at 2.01 but as you can see it jumped around a lot, just like all the previous times I've run the test.
