Interesting. I can't say that I have ever tried to use Netflix over ShawOpen, but it seems to be contrary to one of the main benefits to Shaw customers: preventing cellular data overages.
I'll have to test this out at lunch. I have a VPN to my house so I can compare, but ironically my traffic would be using more of Shaw's infrastructure if I tunnelled the traffic to my house and back to my device.
