Are the activity lights on your WAN port (on the wireless router I'm assuming) active?  Have you secured your wireless network?  I'm thinking a few things:

1) Digital Cable is a shared bandwith (with your neighbors), too many neighbors on at once and bam, slow speed.

2) Wireless network has been cracked and someone is using your internet for you.  Unless you have secured it tightly, this is a very real possibility.

Hope this helps.
