Honestly? Bell's television service is a lot better than Shaw and Telus'. They have by far the best PQ in HD and SD feeds. The UI is a lot smoother and faster to use. I found that the Telus box is sluggish and "dated". I can't really complain since the Telus box is dirt cheap compared to Bell's. It's running on "ancient" Cisco hardware with really old windows media center OS. Heck, it doesn't even do HDMI handshake properly. Best to run component wires to your tv. There has been talks about Telus replacing all their set top boxes to top notch hardware, but that has been rumoured for a while.
As for you having flickering/signal lost? Check that the cables/connection that run from the modem to the TV are tight and not loose. I have't had any signal lost or anything really. The service has been pretty reliable.
Sure, Bell's service is great (Not customer service), but you pay for what you get. I ain't gonna overpay for my TV service. I don't even watch that much TV and Telus offers most channels that Bell offers. I'm happy with Telus' package bundle. My wallet's definitely a lot happier. I can trade off top notch PQ for having more money in my wallet.
