If they had cloned your MAC address then you would not be able to get online when their modem was powered up and viceversa if your modem was on they could not get online.

They cannot connect to your modem from an external source unless you have a wireless network and they have managed to hack your password.

If you have a router I would change the network name and use a longer and more secure password to prevent them having access to your network.

A router password can be up to 63 characters long and you can download wireless router password generators.
