We have a MacBook pro retina, and a ipad pro, not exactly slow machines. He said that he would install another modem/router. I'm now averaging between 290/300.

You definitely need a router that can accommodate the promised d/l speed. The speed of the service will never be faster than the speed capacity of your modem/router.
