Does anyone know what the commands they used were
If you didn't make a point of asking the engineer, when he was standing in your living room, what the password he was using to log into the control panel of the modem was, then it's too late now. That said, you could wait for the service to go south again (which from the tone of this post seems to be one of those pending inevitabilities which one savors like they savor a Korean stir-fry made of inshore hagfish) so be sure to ask then.

It's hit or miss these days. There was a time when the password was common knowledge and everybody could use it to actually set the appropriate up/down speeds. And being in contact with tech support you could brag in realtime how the modem was this or the modem was that. But lately, the password is more proprietary. If you ask for it from the guy in your living room he'll hem and haw and say something like "well, I shouldn't do this" then give it to you. Or, as was the case once back at the turn of the century, "where can I leave my laptop open to the multitab control panel app where the password is in the clear while I use your lavatory?". And you could ... well ... "see" it and write it down.

Good luck with all that. I'd say just go with an internationally renowned broadband service provider and ditch that small start-up "their copper" cable straddler. It's ultimately cheaper by the way AND more reliable.
