On a side note, I'm not sure why Shaw users have to venture into every Telus thread. There are advantages and disadvantages to both services, and even the experience/performance you get seems to vary within the city.
I will grant Shaw users that yes, when their service is humming along, it can be a lot faster, but on average, in my neighborhood, it was not. Telus at 6mbps consistently outperformed Shaw at 10 or 11 (whichever their high end package was 2 years ago), and overall reliability has been much higher as well.

I had no problems with either service. I had TELUS and SHAW at one time before. SOmetimes a rep will say you need a field visit (A Tech come out), but sometimes they are careless. It sounds like all you needed was "Rack Work" where the tech just goes to the Central Office.
