I also had problems with my Gateway years ago, and ended up being a faulty gateway box. So maybe it is hardware.
It definitely could be hardware. Years ago, I had to get a modem replaced because it just started sucking. Shaw came, installed a signal booster thing on my coax on my main panel (which didn't actually do anything), and then ended up just swapping the modem. Instant difference.

I'll give Shaw credit, they usually sort things out one way or another. Eventually. Good luck with the service call.
