    I had recently relocated to Canada from the USA and did not have any information to open an account such as a social insurance number, Canadian credit history, etc. The account reps at Shaw were very helpful in working with my circumstances and getting my service established. They explained the different packages and did not try to force the most expensive package or bundled packages on me. The service was installed without problems a few days later. The installer was also professional and helpful in making sure everything works.

    There have been occasional outages due to freakish Vancouver weather and I have been able to get a support representative on the phone with very little hold time and the issues are resolved a few hour later.

    Shaw is constantly upgrading network bandwidth and rolling out DOCSIS 3.0. The speed upgrades have been automatic with no increase in prices.

    crying like a baby

    Lucky you didn't move to the greater Toronto area, you'd be crying like a baby. Much higher prices, speed throttling and traffic shaping, no newsgroups and much lower speeds. When they roll out docsis 3 in Canada you'll wish you were back in America the caps here are a sick joke not to mention the prices will be at least quadruple what they are now in America for docsis 3 service.
