That's before whatever Shaw decides to increase their price to and lower their speed to.

I'm sure that Shaw will do whatever it can to increase wholesale prices as well, but I would expect that an indie ISP will always be cheaper. The real savings however, regardless of my internet provider, would be to ditch cable and phone. But $20/month savings for essentially the same or better internet service is nothing to sneeze at.
