Internet Issues

I have Verizon with DSL and usually have download speed of 8 Mbps but the last week it is now peaking at 3 Mbps. The internet will also randomly cut out and come back on itself. Verizon just tell me I need to buy a new modem, it is 4 years old. Do I need a new modem or is it their network?

thanks.

Verizon is closing out their copper so DSL will be spotty or dead in most cases.

they will try to get you to the better technology of fiber (Fios) if available. If they don't have it available you might want to look into another service provider
