Cool. I'll see what the tech brings. He's also installing the homephone which I hope can just use the same coax cable by splitting without needing to drill or mount another.

the coaxial cable x amount is dedicated to home phone x amount is dedicated to tv and x amount is dedicated to internet.. so whether u have it or not makes no difference

I upgraded to shaw 100 during the summer and got that terrible technet router/modem. Can I just call up shaw tech support and request the vastly superior cisco modem?

You should be able to if it's the modem giving you grief. They currently use SMC and Cisco. But I've heard the Cisco is the one to get. Do any of you have your Cicso in bridge mode? Or is it not necessary as long as I've got different IP's and DHCP ranges for the Cisco and the Router?
EDIT: Got the modem flashed to bridge mode only. Everything working perfectly now with my original dlink

I like most ppl didn't want to use the routing/wireless features of the modem/router cause it's very basic and doesn't work as well as my standalone dlink. However if you currently don't have a router or just a very basic one the bundled should be ok.
