Kinda late, I know, but I'll throw in a few cents here anyway. I was moved from an old cybersyrfer modem to a new docsis about 2 months ago, jsut before holidays. There was a DRASTIC difference in upload speeds. The docsis was much slower.
I run a business cable modem, and my docsis was the regular type rather than the xtreme. When I called Shaw to discuss it, they basically said that there were no caps on the old modems, but there are limits on the new ones. I explained my situation (I needed the upload speed), and asked to have my old modem. They said it would involve (yet another) static IP change, but that if I came to their main office, I could exchange it with no problems. The onsite techs and the guy on the phone both implied that I wasn't the first to complain about the differences. Perhaps if I added the xtreme service it would be faster. I'm not sure. But I know that the old modems were drastically faster than the new ones if you just compare basic service rates. At least that was my experience. Kev.
