To be capped out at 150 mbps, you'd have to basically be using something with wireless cards that were used in an iphone 6 or older. Also, if the processing power isn't strong, you can't get fast speeds. I think with an iphone 7 I wasn't breaking 200 mbps on tests. The tech that showed up (at the time) was getting like 310 mbps.

Depends on the network card and some equipment like a switch. If you have an older network card or a non gigabit switch, you could be capped at 100 mbps.
Did you check your shaw bill online to see what they are billing you for and supposedly offering you to confirm you are on internet 600? If it's showing 600, then it's probably an equipment issue (either theirs, or even possibly, yours).
I'm not totally convinced it's your hardware that is limiting you, but I could be wrong. I totally get the frustration you're dealing with in not getting access to your full speed though.
