Your internet is slower than Shaw? I guess it depends on which package you got. I have Optik High Speed Turbo and I'm getting 24-25mbps download speeds with the TV off. I'm still in the 14-16 mbps range with a couple of HD streams going. The kicker? I get 2.5Mbps upload compared to 1Mbps with Shaw Extreme.
Agreed on Shaw. I've had Shaw, Bell, and Telus in the past 12 months. In each case I had the latest and greatest PVR. Telus PVR and UI is awesome. Bell's is pretty good. Shaw's is just flat out terrible. My wife begged me to get rid of Shaw (we had just switched from Bell and ended up going back to Bell for 9 months before switching to Telus).
