+1, lol. They'd be stupid to promise a "consistent" 150, although you'll probably get it at least most of the time.
However, if its
consistently, say, below 100, and there are no bottlenecks in your own network, then you should be calling them. Its far from "false advertising" or a "bait and switch" though, lol.

Any thoughts most welcomed before I call Shaw!

If the QoS is not tuned properly, yes. (Assuming your QoS isn't just an 'all or nothing' sort of deal, and actually has rules you can customize. But on a Nighthawk, I'd expect it to have something, lol)
My Asus RT-AC68 is equipped with QoS, but I used to get speed drops on my Telus 25 with it enabled. It had been working for a while, but suddenly, I was having serious speed issues. I disabled it at the time cause I wanted the connection to just work normally, and I didn't have time to play with the QoS rules.
I haven't had a chance to go in and tune it properly, nor have I had my Shaw connection installed yet. But I would try first rebooting both the router and modem, and if that doesn't work, disable the QoS.
If that solves the problem, then you know QoS was the culprit, at least with the settings you had it on.
