The surge protectors probably worked fine. My guess is that the surge came through your cable. Make sure you have a surge suppressor that includes cable protection. They have two coax connectors on them. Instead of running the cable directly to your modem, run it through your surge suppressor.
You should now check to make sure your suppressors have not been used up. Call SECO for instructions on how to determine if theirs is still OK.
