Shaw is traded on the TSX, right? It might be a good time to buy some of their stock. I agree that what Shaw has done is somewhat sleazy, but it's not exactly easy to innovate and generate growth from an industry facing declining revenues (TV).

I spend a lot of time online, but it's mostly reading news and forums, watching the odd video, etc. I probably use 5-10 gigs a month. Even if you have 4 grown adults in your household who are computer enthusiasts, why are you downloading 200 gigs+ a month? I live on my own in a small apartment and aside from Canucks games, I don't have the time to even watch a movie or TV series more than once a week if I'm lucky. Most of the streamed media out there is way less than HD, so that doesn't explain your usage. And even if you're downloading HD content, why are you watching it on your PC? I'd rather spend 10 bucks on an actual Blu-Ray disc and watch the content on my audiophile home theatre set-up.

Just admit it - you guys spend way too much time on your PCs.
