Contemplating switching to Shaw phone service now that I'm also on the broadband 100 plan.

With the Shaw phone service, do you need to be using their router in order for it to work? I've got the SMC modem in bridge mode, which is exactly the config I want, so if the phone service requires use of their routing to do QoS its a bit of a non-starter for me.

Anyone here use Shaw phone and nerdy enough to know if I can continue to run in bridge mode and use my own router, but still get Shaw phone?

Thanks!
