I believe that Shaw's speed test is powered by Speedtest.net, but likely just uses Shaw's own server. Going to the Speedtest.net site directly will let you try a few different servers so you can truly test your speeds to servers outside of Shaw's network.

Edit: For what it's worth, I got approx. 175/16 from Speedtest.net on a non-Shaw server, nearly the exact same on Shaw's speed test, and 165/15 on Google's speed test. All while over 5G wifi and also streaming an HD show simultaneously from the BBC. I subscribe to 150/15, but I always test well above 150.
