I'm paying $55/month (cause it's packaged with a TV package) for Broadband 50 with Shaw. I am using less than 200GB per month (on a 400GB cap plan). I already have the Motorola SB5102 DOCSIS 2.0 modem, but they are still gonna charge me $79 for activation as well as another fee for on-site installation (even though I don't need it, they will still charge it), which brings me to about $200 for initial set-up.....is not worth it at all for me. I am basically just saving $10 per month on their $45 Unlimited 25Mbps plan. It will cost me 20 months (to recover the setup cost) for this plan to be worth it.

I'm sticking with Shaw; however, if I only needed standalone Internet, then it would be worth it, cause Shaw charges like $75 for standalone Broadband 50 now. Ripoff.
