Just talked to my wife, who works as a TSR at Shaw and she is pretty sure there is nothing that Shaw is causing here, baring some freak combination of hardware.
She says you can ask the TSR how long your modem ( both your phone and internet modems) have been locked in, which will tell you if your modems are kicking out or if it is your router. If the modems are staying locked in, then you are probably looking at an issue with your router and some sort of interference.
You could try borrowing a router from a friend to see if that fixes the issue, changing out the wireless card in the desktop (since it is the only one that is affected) or switching the desktop to a hardwired Cat5e-6 line.
The hard wired option might seem impossible, but in reality it is not anywhere as close to as hard as it might seem. I can provide info if you want to do it yourself.
