Default Telus vs. Shaw - Internet only

Moving to a new place at the end of the month and we're going to need to get the internet hooked up. We don't watch a lot of TV so we decided to just get the internet right now, no cable, and no home phone, so no bundle deals.

I'm not a fan of either company, but which is the lesser evil?

I have had Shaw Extreme (?) in the past, but have never used Telus' service.

I have never had a problem with Shaw. Telus is a cuss word in my house.

I know that Telus has been sending out letters to people downloading illegally warning them to stop. Threats of getting sued!

I haven't heard of anything from shaw as of yet.

If you download movies or music (illegally) beware!

if you are downloading movies and music from open sites like thepiratebay you are asking for trouble. get yourself a private tracker and you wont be getting any threat letters other than the call from your provider saying you are downloading and uploading a massive amount and are over your monthly limit for data transfer
