Do you really think the cost to Shaw/Telus is the same per service, regardless of how many you have running into your house?

3 services to one house is one install appointment, one cable running from house to pedestal (and taking up a spot in sometimes limited hardware), one bill sent out each month.

1 service to 3 houses is 3 install appointments, 3 cables run to the pedestal - taking up space where houses with 3 services each could be running, 3 bills sent out each month.

Logical thinking would dictate that one of those situations would clearly cost more. I will leave it to you to guess which one that might be.
