Gateway signal

It's getting to the point now where almost every day I have a weak signal. System seemed to work just fine the first 2-3 months, but now 6 months of service and download speeds are horrible (often 1.4 mbps or even less!). My modem seems to be connecting to towers 30-50 miles away (i know this because it shows services, restaurants etc. "Near Me" that are 40 miles away!), when there is a tower less than 2 miles from my house! I have called and talked to customer service and they're able to connect me to the tower near me while I'm talking with them, but within a couple days I experience the same problem all over again! The download speed is so slow I can't use a single device, let alone my desktop and stream a TV signal. Why won't the modem consistently hook me up to my nearest tower? This is so infuriating, because when the signal is good I have no complaints.I feel the only alternative for me is to try another service, but my options are very limited as I'm out in the country.

No way your connecting to towers 40 miles away.. if your tower is not under 4 miles your not getting anything….your speed test might show connection far away but that is NOT where you are connected to!
