I can see the rationale for switching, actually.
But now let's look at bundled pricing:

Shaw Basic Digital TV and Shaw Extreme Internet 15mps (100gig cap)
$83.95

Telus Optik TV and Telus Optik High Speed 15mps (125gig cap)
$60

Based on a 3 year contract...First year I only pay $30. First month $15. Optik High Speed is a 2 year contract. My first year will cost me $15 a month for internet, my second year $37 (for 15mps, which is the equivalent to Shaw's Extreme, and that cost $47 a month).
