Sure that makes sense. But the fact is as of last May Shaw had more of the market share when looking at Calgary inet customers and I dont think that has changed.
So you would have to ask yourself why, after Telus has been giving away free Ipods, Pc's and other stuff for years why Shaw would have more customers when giving away nothing...the anwser is Telus is nothing but a hassle as an ISP and their product is not comparable to Shaw's.
This being said I have no vested intrest in this debate, I no longer work for Shaw, but have had both ISP's and have been educated on the upsides and downsides of both...quite honestly like a poster above has said get a cheap PC from Future shop or buy used and save yourself a lot of hassle.
