    So far so good!

    I got hooked up with Shaw's Wide Open 150 at the beginning of December and so far it's living up to its advertised speed, whether it's a well seeded torrent, a large video file or a file from a website, depending on where I download from I get the advertised speed, but there are lots of variables when grading, rating or testing your speed, don't always try rate it by a website download as each website has different speed caps.
    www.speedtest.net is generally the way most people test their speed.
    Never try to get accurate results by doing a www.speedtest.net from any device other than a PC/computer, android devices, phones and ipad/Apple devices can't keep up very well and won't give you accurate results, it's a memory thing.

    I managed to get an all encompassing bundle deal for all three of our services, phone, Internet and television.
    MY SERVICES:
    Home Phone
    Shaw Wide Open 150 Internet
    T.V. "Popular TV Plan" with one PVR box and one regular cable box.
    24 months at $90+tax or approximately $107 incl. tax per month.

    Not bad at all, considering that an equivalent package with Telus Optimization T.V., phone and Internet was running us around $170 per month, with only a 25Mbps speed as opposed to Shaw's 150Mbps.

    Oh, and if you're switching from Telus to Shaw, let them know, rates and terms are generally negotiable, you might even be able to fandangle an extra PVR or more programming!

    I'll end this with saying this, you definitely should shop around, some areas of our country have more options than others, especially on the east coast and in larger cities, tell whichever company you're taking to that you're shopping around to find the best deal that works for you!

    Conclusion: Currently, I would and do recommend Shaw to friends, family and acquaintances who are in the market for all three services bundled, home phone, Internet and television.
    This concludes my review of Shaw's Wide Open 150 Internet.
