I will describe the Telus router in one word: Craptacular. As soon as I tried to secure the wireless I started having issues with it dropping wireless connections. The interface is clumsy, and doesn't inspire confidence.
I went and bought a new D-Link "N" router for $50 and haven't had any issues with it. However it is handy to have the Telus modem with 4 wired ports built in.
As for Telus' speed- they just aren't quite as fast as Shaw. Close- but the big thing that Shaw did better was caching web pages.

close? well i guess the 6 mpbs telus extreme is faster than the 5 mbps Shaw regular high speed, though that will be changing. Shaw is beta testing in Saskatoon the new speed increases (7.5 mbps for regular, 15 mbps for extreme, and 100 mbps for nitro) and they seem quite close to a full release. i believe the bandwidth caps are also getting a bump (heard up to 100 gb/mo for regular) though we haven't gotten any official numbers
