Shaw EXO
I'll be honest I haven't liked shaw in terms of how it forces you to go up tiers to get channels you exclusively watch. You'll need to buy basic cable and several other 'packages' and that really much of a choice.
I've you bought the bullet and still have TV (I don't really recommend it) you likely have a huge bill anyway I'm paying 150ish a month. The other day EXO was introduced and wanted to know more about it.
The main point I found out other thant VOD that I don't use or care about, it is NOT tied in anyway to the gateway service.
One gripe I had was the lack of uplink speed. Even the highest packages still was limited to 300k/second. This has changed with EXO. you now can get up to 3-5Mbit which is effectievly about 1Meg/second.
You will need a new modem which they sent and it will reek havock with your existing wireless adapter. Make sure you ask them to update the modem to 'bridge' mode which will turn off the wifi and effectivly turn it into a modem. note to telus, you better be able to do this to keep up.
So far it's been good. And the best part it's 10$ a month. I can deal with that.
One cavet. They now have bandwidth charges so don't expect you can blindly use. This will be a thorn on people's side if they use services like netflix, streaming media and of course 'sharing sites'.

are you on your own wifi channel?
you my not know that encrypted wifi networks are not use channels. to increase the quality of your connection use this tool : meraki.com/stumbler to determine what channel is not being used then you can lock your router to a channel that isn't being used.
