I'm in an area that can't get Optik for whatever reason, so I guess I just keep bending over and taking it. Someone's gotta pay Jim Shaw's eight figure salary.

One idea we did have - would it work to cancel my service and have my wife sign up for an account? She hasn't had a Shaw account since we moved in together, and she never changed her name.
I don't think so...Shaw is learning to track not just by name but address. Too many deadbeats (no, not including you) will do that...owe a ton of $, close account and not repay, then magically somebody else at that same address will apply for a new account...and somehow want exactly the same services.
