I can empathize with TheyCallMeBruce. I had my finger on the trigger ready to cancel my Shaw services if they didn't change their position on UBB. I'm not sure where I would have gone, but all options would have been considered. Probably an independent ISP, even if that meant paying a little more, and once hockey season came around, I'd probably get a minimal package with Telus just for hockey.

I'm glad I waited, and I'm glad that Shaw changed the tune regarding UBB. But a consumer backlash takes place on many fronts, including people cancelling or scaling back their services. There must have been more than just a handful of people that did it as well.
