I doubt she will go back now, because she was furious at the time, but this might prevent similar situations in the future.
That is just unlucky.

At my parents old place when we first got Shaw Internet (Shaw@Home back then), the cable guy came and hooked up the extra connection to the computer. As he was preparing to hook things up he noticed that there was two cables hooked up to the existing splitter but three other cables that weren't plugged into anything so he asked about them. They went to ohter rooms in the house but we never hooked them up because it cost extra to have them hooked up. So he said he'll hook them up, and my mom panicked because she didn't want to pay for the extra hookups, but he said that he doesn't care how many are hooked up, and that Shaw couldn't tell.

My friend's cousin is/was a Shaw installer and he said the installers would all do similar things.
