um, 10Mbps is the maximum download speed for the xtreme-i package. the fastest connection Shaw offers is nitro, which is 25Mbps down and 1Mbps up, so there's no way you'll be pushing 100Mbps through that modem. you're reading what the maximum bandwidth your network card can accept from the modem is, which has no effect on your internet speeds unless your connection is faster then that (which it isn't)

EDIT: didn't notice that you're still running the old Motorola modem, thought i read that you already swapped it. anyways you will want to swap that for a Docsis modem as you'll get much faster service which is a lot more stable. you should be able to just bring that old modem to any retail center in Calgary and they can swap it for you over the counter
