Probably because the hardware at the cable modem end cannot support 100Mb speed; not surprising, as even 10Mb is well over double even the fastest possible connection achievable[1] over a cable connection, and the most common plans will top out at 1.5-2Mb/s ... so there's not much need to put 100Mb HW into the modems. Perhaps if you force the NIC to 10Mb, you'll see some improvement? At least it won't bog down over any speed negotiations.
