If you can tunnel back to your home service that's a decent workaround for sure.
I will need to try and see if vpn to a Canadian IP will cause the Netflix error to come up, as I'm not circumventing geoblocking that way, which is the main reason for the error.

I wonder if / hope that maybe it was a temporary issue and not necessarily traffic shaping. Shaw even boasts on the main Shaw Go page that Shaw customers can save 6 gigs and $50 worth of overages each month.
The whole concept around ShawGo is that it can save Shaw customers a bunch of data/money while away from home, so I'd be surprised and disappointed if they've taken that step. It also keeps some money out of the pockets of the competition by preventing overages.
I use it but don't rely on ShawGo because I've got a 10 gig plan for $60/month. But I really like the concept of it.
