I decided screw Shaw and their yearly hikes and their involvement in FairPlay Canada. I switched to TekSavvy for $70/month. They're a 3rd party that uses the big telecom distribution (like Kodoo & Virgin do with cell towers).
The rate is cheaper than Shaw for using Shaw's network in my neighbourhood. I just switched over so we will see how it pans out in the long run but so far it's fine.
I wish I could really get away from the big telecoms totally but realistically it isn't gonna happen.

I'm with Teksavvy as well for more than a year I've had zero issues. I'm on an older plan but you can't beat 30 down and 5-10 up for $50 with no bandwidth limit. No cable, ooma home phone, hd antenna, and Netflix. Any thing that can't be found there I usually don't bother with.
