These settings cannot be modified so you can't have a VPN is another correct answer?

No, it is not a correct answer.

To initialize a VPN connection, you need to ask the Shaw DNS-server for the IP-address of the VPN-server, e.g., "what is the IP-address for the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for [vpn.bcit.ca]?".  After your VPN-client has connected, via IP-address, to the VPN-server, your future DNS-requests are "tunnelled" through the VPN-connection to the DNS-servers at BCIT. It is those DNS-servers that reply. Putting those DNS-requests through the VPN-tunnel is what gives your connection the "P" -- for "private" -- part of "VPN".

So, the older modem has less features than the new modem? Geez guys.  Would be nice if you can provide support for this soon.

How exactly does this optimize my network if I can't route traffic as I see fit?  We're not allow to use our own DNS servers as shaw customers now.. poor form.

Telus allows changing DNS server settings in their devices. This is just poor provisioning by Shaw and further controlling of customer's access to internet.
