Since she also surfs CP, is Telus Optik a reasonable choice over Shaw or not?

If you are comfortable with a contract so you can get the discount pricing, then it is most certainly a good option. The product isn't nearly as bad as it was 2 + years ago. The quality of service drops as you have more feeds running. Like recording 2 programs in HD while watching a 3rd can lose you a solid 9 MBs on your internet speed. That is a pretty big chunk out of 15MBs if you ask me, especially if you game online. That means during those times (evenings) you would have 6 MBs down, compared to 15 on Shaw.
What I would do, is call Telus and figure out what you get as a bundle price on a 3yr contract for the services that you need. Then call Shaw and tell them if they match it you won't go over to Telus.
