Slow cable speed

In anticipation of cutting the TV portion of my cable, I was doing speed tests on my Shaw internet service. Turns out my 5Mbps package is delivering a pathetic 1Mbps. That's one computer hooked directly by ethernet to the modem with TV turned off.

Since I will be running 2 instead of 1 computers I had been intending to up the ante to 15 or 30 Mbps, but now I am wondering if the actual speed will show any real improvement or is this a question that service in my area is so oversubscribed that there is no hope for any real improvement.

Modem dates back to when the advertised speed was a bit over 1Mbps. Could that be the bottleneck?
