I would be asking, why wasn't their a second data center where there applications and servers were hosted out of? I take it there DR plan did not account for total loss of a data center, and while I understand it is extremely expensive and complex, the technology is out there.
Not trying to defend Shaw too much, they are going to take a ton of heat for this, and rightfully so.

ATB has said Credit Card transactions at bick/mortar stores were not affected, only logging in online to I assume check balances (maybe also on web transactions).
