I think Shaw is phasing these ones out so you might be able to get free swap.
Your slowdown could also be cause by the crappy wifi in that router. It is very weak wifi and if lots of people on the same channel, your traffic may get blocked.

Agree you should try to get an Advance Wifi modem upgrade. This will also get you 24 downstream channel bonding. If you complain on evening slow downs they will likely do it.
