Really shaw should be forced to charge there customers for HDTV bandwidth at the same rate they charge for internet bandwidth. The Cable service should only charge for content and the internet service for bandwidth.
However if they did implement a system like this I'm sure they would find a way to charge more for the service.
There is also a good degree of competition between shaw and telus. If you call their retentions department and threaten to quit they will cut your bill quite substantially. I am sure bandwidth caps are also negotiable.
