Wired to the modem or wired to the router, ie: the Apple Time Capsule?
I'd try going direct to the router, and then direct to the modem if you still see low speeds. If the results directly wired to the bridged port of the modem yield the same low speeds, you definitely have a case to tell Shaw to come fix your sh-t.

I wired right to the modem. I haven’t tried wired to the router but figured there’s no point seeing that the modem is the same as wireless. I wanted to rule out some of the re-wiring, crimped cables and switch I put in. I also tried a few different cables.
I haven’t noticed any poor performance on any of my devices so I am not terribly concerned. We have 2x win laptops, 2x Mac one of which is a Plex media server, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, PS4, Wii U, fire tv, chromecast, 2 HD Samsung TVs and they all stream content fine all wirelessly. That’s with having multiple echos, 2x ecobee, Ring Pro, Skybell, Wyze Cams connected as well. I guess I am lucky that I haven’t had any noticed performance issues but 80Mbps on a good day is nowhere near 300.
I’ll try posting on the Shaw forum as you guys have suggested since I have ruled out my novice level network job, old-ish Apple gear, and possible Zigbee interference from the Hue hub or SmartThings.
