Can anyone confirm they have a Cisco modem from shaw that is 150 capable?

I was on Internet 100 and upgraded to the Hitron modem. This modem has been bridged to interface with my high end home router. The problem is that the Hitron in bridge mode is only putting out 60 Mbits on download because it does not meet the Cat5e spec. So it can't support long cable runs.

My previous internet 100 modem gave me 120 Mbits down and 15 up, i've tested all my network components and swapped the Hitron modem confirming the modem is the problem. I've also talked with some network pro's.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
