So there's apparently a SuperHD option for Netflix (less compressed) and 3D movies are coming (a few in the US already), but in order for either of those to happen ISPs need to have special hardware to get content delivery closer to the users (which makes sense), the hardware and stuff is free to ISPs.

But of course Shaw doesn't support it:

Be nice if Shaw signed up:

Think it's worthwhile if a bunch of us write in to Shaw to request this? Or is it a waste since Netflix is a threat to their Cable/Satellite networks?
