Do I need to upgrade my MODEM?

Hello!

I just upgrade my internet service from 250Mbps to 1000Mbps, through online account management. But my download speed stays at 250Mbps, I'm wondering do I need to upgrade my MODEM to actually get the 1000Mbps? Thanks!

It's a ARRIS SURFboard Model SB6141, I think I got that from AT&T store a couple of years ago.

Yes. That modem is a dinosaur. It's not compatible. Look for compatible devices here;
