I've been using Shaw's bb50 package for about two years now. Prior to that I had been on various Telus (and Teksavvy) DSL packages. The Shaw connection has been rock solid for the entire two years. The original installation was quick and painless. The tech came over, installed the modem, made sure it was working, ran a speed test, and left. It was a much better experience than I had the few times I got a DSL install.
My only real complaint with Shaw is how often they've been raising prices. BB50 was $59/month when I first signed up for it two years ago. It is now $80 /month. That's a 35% increase over two years. That's pretty insane. They also haven't modified the caps in a few years. I usually go 100 to 200gb's over the cap and Shaw lets it slide, but every year there's more and more things to watch on the Internet, and more cap space would be nice (I don't really need faster speeds).
