The last time I checked they wanted to charge me $150 for an install of internet. With Shaw at least I can pick up the modem myself. So is it confirmed that we are able to bridge the newest modem?

Has nothing to do with because shaw is starting on Docsis 3.1. The real reason is with all the existing upgrades and being able to offer to 90+% customers, it is time to go on offence and try to bring subscriber numbers back up. Telus only has < 10% of its customer base on fiber so they are not worried at all, especially
With Docsis 3.1 around the corner. Telus will be catching up, even after they launch fiber to a majority of its customer base.
