That being said, all I was commenting on was this misconception that having fibre is dedicated which it isn't. It has moved to a shared infrastructure, granted there are more houses sharing for a node with cable.
Until recently Shaw like most cable networks could only use 6-42Mhz for uploads. That change when they could rid of the analogue channels but it will take sometime for the upgrades to use the additional bandwidth.
