Experience upgrading to DOCSIS 3.0 modem?

I'm with Teksavvy and have been finding the internet a tad sluggish from time to time lately. I used to get about 20-24 Mbps on Speedtest.net, now I routinely get about 13-15 Mbps:

I'm considering upgrading my cable modem to a DOCSIS 3.0 from a DOCSIS 2.0 (Webstar 2100). Has anyone upgraded their modem and noticed a speed increase? Is it a worthwhile upgrade? I'm in Nepean, ON; how to other Teksavviers find their internet speeds?

Thanks!

Using Thomson DCM 475 DOCSIS 3.0 modem, and paying for 12Meg service. :)

If you're in Toronto, how come you selected a server in QC?
