It looks like my only option is to go with Shaw. I still get the TV package and to get the package my family "needs" I have to get Internet with Shaw or Telus. Telus can't give me speeds higher than 75 Mbps. Even though their Fibre is available close to my area, it isn't on my street and several parallel streets. A telus rep called me a few weeks ago and told me that he can only get me 150 Mbps. I checked online and that contradicted what the rep told me. I talked to my neighbour and he said Telus told him they can get him 150 but they actually can't.
So I'm stuck with Shaw and will soon be signing a 2 year contract to get a cheaper cost. I'm hoping I can get them to give me a better deal because the pricing is still ridiculous, even for a long term customer. In this day and age it bothers me that Canadians have to pay so much for TV and/or Internet even though steps were supposedly taken to make things better for us. That was useless.
