The latter part is true but a speed test should still hit the high limit you have or come very close. They didn't seem to want to look into the issue to ensure that what was configured matched what I'm supposed to get. I gave up and resolved to switch to Telus when it's time to renew.
Just a heads up - my parents had the same issue and it turned out that their devices didn't have a new enough wifi card to take advantage of the higher speeds. If you're only using 2.4 GHz on the wifi "n" standard with your device, you won't hit that number. If you're wifi "ac" standard then you should be able to get to 600 Mbps if wifi interference is low.
