It's partly why during extended power outages Shaw has to roll trucks to keep changing batteries to your terminal - SDP service cannot be disrupted. I call BS, Shaw does not guarantee you any sort of uptime on their digital phone service read their AUP. My cable internet is always out, and I doubt their SDP is any better. When was the last time you remember picking up a Telus land line phone and not getting a dial tone?

As for the person that said you cant move the Shaw terminal from house to house... that's a lie... you can... as there is more then 1 home per node... if i moved my DPT down the street Shaw would never know. It comes down to personal preference... i dont care about my LAN line i have a cell and Shaw works just fine for me, but if i had a heart condition and needed 99% up time(shaw has met that for me btw) i would go with telus, but LAN lines are not always 100% my parents had no phone on Sasktel for 2 days last month... so technology fails always have an alternative if you need it.
