Does your current modem max-out at 300 Mbps for download, and 15 Mbps for upload ?
In most areas, Shaw's latest cable-modem supports 300/100, 500/100, 1000/100, and 1500/100 for download/upload.
So, after you have had a 24-month "price-freeze", the new offer is for another 24-month "price-freeze", at a slightly higher fee, and an upgrade to the latest cable-modem that will greatly increase your upload speed.
Compared to how everything has increased in price (food, gasoline, houses, etc.) in the last two years, I think that you're being offered is definitely not a "huge" increase.

Not concerned about price but wanted to make sure there is no concern changing to a newer modem. Yes, my modem is a Hitron and I believe maxes out at 15 up.

Thanks!

@RD999 -- note that the HITRON has four LAN ports, while the BlueCurve modem only has two LAN ports. Do you have more than two "wired" computers on your home network?
P.S. see: http://shaw.ca/brightdeal for the latest promotion from Shaw ($99/month for 1 Gbps service, and $50 credit, and optionally add Total TV for $50/month). Note that Shaw has announced a price-increase, effective in November 2022, for customers on a month-to-month plan. Customers having a current two-year Value Plan will see the increase only after that plan expires.

I found the specs below. If I am only paying for 500mbps would it matter what device goes into the faster port?
