Shaw might have problems with HD stuff, but their internet is second to none.

As for the router question, do a search on these boards as this question has been asked many time. I would get a dual band, gigabit router possible with share port ( or equiv ) as network storage/ printer connection.

If you plan on streaming media, or having many wireless devices, then an N router might be a good idea for long term planning, however without an N wireless NIC in your machines it is pointless. G alone will be able to handle pretty much anything you throw at it for normal internet use, though.
