So overall, that is still a better deal than Shaw.

It's not a moot point because you're locked in for 2-3 years. The long run is therefore very much relevant.
What happens if the primary ISPs are allowed to charge their own customers UBB but not force that price structure on secondary ISPs, Shaw decides they have enough customers to don't care that they keep UBB in place, and Telus follows Shaw? I'll want to be able to make the switch to a secondary ISP, not be stuck with Telus. That's why I feel it's prudent to stick with Shaw until we see this all settles, and to not jump in bed with Telus on a long-term contract.
