I was pretty annoyed about him telling me over and over again how my usage shows that I don't need the extra speed, and how I would be sharing that speed with others in the neighbourhood. I finally got fed up of him telling me what I need, and just said just tell me if it's possible or not.
For those who switched from Telus to Shaw, how do you find the difference in terms of speed? I am currently on Telus Internet 50, and I'm paying $37/month for it, so I'd be paying a little bit more for 3x the speed. Is it actually that much faster?

I used to be in this situation a couple years ago - Shaw internet, Telus TV. It worked fine, but apps were an issue. There are lots more apps now, so I'm not sure if this has changed, but at the time we weren't able to use the TV apps like Tumblebooks and Weather. Also, I think Optik on the Go didn't allow us to watch channels with the house beside it (meaning they had to be watched from home), and we couldn't use the smartphone remote app either.
